Book 2 of In The Margins Series! Claire Whitman doesn't do attachments. She doesn't stay, doesn't fall, doesn't let anyone matter long enough to leave a mark. Until one night - six years ago - when she did. It was supposed to be nothing. A mistake, something easy to forget. Except she never did. Because no matter how many people came after, no one ever felt like her. ❁ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ˋˏ༻❁༺ˎˊ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ❁ Mae Rivera has spent years pretending that night never happened. She built the life she was supposed to want - her art, her boyfriend, her carefully controlled world where everything makes sense and nothing crosses the line. Because what happened with Claire did. It crossed every line Mae was raised to never even look at. And worse... it felt right. ❁ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ˋˏ༻❁༺ˎˊ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ❁ Now Claire's back, and six years of denial begins to crack. Because no matter how hard Mae tries to bury it, her body remembers. The way Claire touched her. The way she wanted her. The way she still does. But some things aren't just complicated - they're dangerous. Because wanting Claire doesn't just mean risking her relationship, or her reputation. It means unraveling everything Mae thought she knew about herself. And Claire? Claire has nothing left to lose, except the one person she's never been able to forget. Some mistakes are meant to be buried. Others are the kind that ruin you... or set you free.

B A D I D E A ! Book One: The Forbidden Feeling "I wasn't looking for a miracle. I was just looking for the exit. Then I saw her, and the silence didn't feel so empty." LIA HARLOW is a master of the "no-comment." With silver piercings that glint like a warning and headphones acting as a riot shield, she's navigating a life built on judgment and "holy" silence. To Lia, a new town isn't a fresh start-it's just a different cage. She doesn't do attachment. In her world, being "fixed" is the only thing worse than being alone. ELLIE MELROSE lives in the golden hour. Her life is a collection of thrifted sweaters, sun-dappled library aisles, and the belief that kindness solves everything. She's safe. She's stable. She's "straight"-or at least, that was the script she was given. But when a shadow drops into her sunny room, the symmetry of her perfect life begins to shatter. When the girl with obsidian eyes and smoke-tinted secrets moves in across the street, curiosity turns into a pull neither can explain. In a town where every whisper carries and love is measured by a strict set of rules, their connection is more than a distraction. It's a bad idea. It's a forbidden pulse in the middle of a silent prayer. As the lines between "right" and "real" blur, both girls must decide: Is the feeling worth the fall? THE VIBE Grumpy x Sunshine | Religious Trauma | Sapphic Slow Burn Imagery: Smudged eyeliner on silk pillows, paint-stained fingers intertwined with silver rings, and the heavy tension of a hallway where you aren't allowed to touch. Why Read? For those who love choosing your own family and the kind of love that feels like a secret whispered in a crowded room.

Helena Pierce has it all. A company built from nothing, wealth, a best friend who knows her better than she knows herself, and a brother who would move mountains for her. On paper, her life is flawless. But perfection doesn't fill the emptiness. Helena is lonely and love has never come easily, and when it did, her need for control always pushed it away. She rules every part of her life with iron precision, and that same power keeps her from letting anyone in. Helena doesn't know how to surrender - and maybe, deep down, she fears what would happen if she did. ❁ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ˋˏ༻❁༺ˎˊ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ❁ June Holloway refuses to back down.

She has her work, a best friend who never leaves her side, and a brother who would give his life for her. Yet love has always been complicated. Speaking, hearing, connecting - it should be simple, but for June, it's a battle she fights again and again, never easily won. Even so, she keeps trying. Even so, she refuses to be silenced. ❁ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ˋˏ༻❁༺ˎˊ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ❁ Since June starts working for Helena, things begin to unfold and feelings grow quietly, almost unnoticed.
