Blackwell Boarding School is swarmed with cameras that prey on the students in order to film for the reality TV show that shows an exclusive inside to an elite school. Zora McQueen avoids the glistening TV screen when her nudes are spread around campus, instead taking comfort with the only other person who keeps secrets from the public. Alluring mystery and dubbed slut, Eliott Hearse. Except now, Eliott is missing and no one has the faintest idea where she could've gone. Taking matters into her own hands, Zora believes that the answers may lie in Eliott's favourite game: chess. Partnering with the school's best chess club player, Arwyn Truong, Zora learns that not everything is as it seems and that perhaps the old school holds far more secrets than they'd care to admit. Some secrets hitting dangerously close to home. In order to see things for what they are and find her friend, Zora must escape the gossip and cameras that follow her closely and embrace the title she adorns. The only way to do that? Follow the Slut's Guide to Chess. [2022 Watty's Shortlist] [Featured on Wattpad Editors' Picks, April 2021 + 2023]

Rachel, Al, Lauren, Joe and Sunny grew up together in Queensborough in the late Seventies, solidifying their friendship by forming the Lawrence Street Detective Club. They found a lost pet or two, and even gained brief fame by helping a kid escape his abusive father with the help of Martha Anderson, a kind older woman on their street. They eventually moved away, but never forgot each other, and thirty years later the memorial for Mrs. Anderson reunites them. Rachel, an accountant fired over an embezzlement scandal, divorced, broke and persecuted on social media, would rather not have her old friends know about her troubles, or about her new friend, who may or may not be a symptom of her deteriorating mental condition, but her sudden assignment as executor for Mrs. Anderson's estate forces her to depend on them. Al, infatuated with Rachel since they were children, helps her catalogue the contents of Mrs. Anderson's house but discovers a new mystery requiring the Lawrence Street Detective Club to get back on the case. Lauren, now a private investigator and married to Joe, never lost the knack for the work they did when they were kids, and works to clear Rachel's name while also reconciling with her own feelings for her. Sunny, the lawyer representing Mrs. Anderson's estate, helps Rachel fight back when the man who originally framed her for embezzlement now wants her removed as executor. And when a shocking development draws them all into helping another of his victims, they'll need to rely on each other more than ever before as they risk losing everything they worked for.

An anonymous letter. A strict professor. One semester. No strings.

A steamy escape for your PMS nights. Content Warning: This story contains sexual scenes, themes of infidelity, sexual dominance, and objectification. Intended for adult readers. -------- Mariana, the eldest of four orphaned siblings, has just received the call she's been praying for-her youngest brother has found a heart donor. But the miracle comes with a cruel price: a surgery bill far beyond what a high school graduate, stuck cleaning supermarket floors, could ever afford. With no time, no degree, and nothing but debt and desperation, she's left with one option: accept a proposition that comes cloaked in wealth, secrecy, and unspoken rules. Niel Hunter, heir to a global empire, once chased danger for sport-skydiving from helicopters, diving into pitch-black caves, outrunning fear in machines built for death. But the older he got, the more he craved a different kind of thrill: the delicious high of forbidden touch, the power of orchestrating a secret no one else could see. A secret woman bound to him by contract, not desire. A trembling voice saying "yes, Sir" while the world sees only his flawless smile. This isn't about seduction-it's about surrender. About watching her fall to addiction and knowing every step down was guided by his hand. When their paths collide, Mariana becomes part of his hidden game-paid handsomely to obey, to keep quiet, to serve a man who takes her everything. But how long can Niel keep this twisted salvation hidden from his wife, his daughters, and his family?

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 , after a decade apart, Hollywood actor Drew Starkey returns to his hometown and unexpectedly crosses paths with Cameron Jade, now the newly appointed Editor-in-Chief of Vanity Fair magazine. Once inseparable childhood best friends turned first loves, they shared a deep, undeniable connection until life pulled them in opposite directions. They broke up after high school, chasing their dreams and leaving their past, and each other, behind. Now, forced together by their meddling mothers, the reunion is anything but smooth. Cameron is caught off guard by Drew's return, and despite the years apart, the tension between them is undeniable. Drew feels himself slipping back into the past, the way Cameron's laughter once felt like home, the way she always understood him better than anyone else. But while he is drawn to the familiarity of what they had, Cameron is hesitant, afraid to reopen wounds that never fully healed. As they navigate familiar streets and old memories, late-night conversations turn into something deeper, and the line between past and present begins to blur. But with Drew's life still rooted in Hollywood and Cameron's career just taking off, they must face the question they avoided all those years ago.
