Dylan Tate, a San Francisco native, was perfectly fine with living a carefree lifestyle free from any major responsibilities. One particular day life smacks her upside the head with a greater responsibility than she could have ever bargained for. Will she fail at becoming a grown up or can she rise to the occasion? Layne Bishop, on the other hand, was quite familiar and comfortable with responsibility. She was also already a grown up, something she had to achieve sooner than would usually be necessary. Layne yearned for commitment, love and family -- none of which she had in NYC. Could a trip across the country deliver better fortune? ***Note: I hope you'll give it a chance, but you may not want to read this if intimacy between those belonging to the same gender is not your cup of tea :-) If you do choose to read on, if you'd be so kind please share your thoughts with me.

Amber Lian doesn’t believe in love. Never have, never will. Love is just an intangible excuse for wimps. To Amber, love isn’t real. That’s all about to change when she meets Elena, an out and proud lesbian who isn’t afraid to stand up for who she is. Feelings begin to open up to Amber as she finds herself immensely attracted towards this girl. But when you live in a community where homosexuals are looked down upon and beaten up everyday like Amber did, falling in love with a girl is just not the right thing to do. But as days go by, Amber just can’t help falling deeper and deeper into something that she didn’t believe existed…and for a girl too! The struggle to find out Amber’s true identity has never been more confusing. But when her friends and community finds out about her love, Amber is forced to make an almost impossible decision. Follow rules and reject or break free and accept. Which will she choose?

"Are you... lost?" Someone asked, her tone impatient. I stopped scanning the room to find the woman behind the voice. I blinked. She had the most luminous blue eyes I had ever seen. Even in the dim glow of the bar they glowed brightly, like her pupils were some type of smooth stone at the bottom of a clear blue ocean. Within her blue there flickered tiny speckles of silver, which gave her an icy, somewhat stony appeal. But it was her slight, lopsided smile that erased any signs of wanting to be alone. No wonder this bar was so popular. "Uh, no," I said, holding up the Help Wanted sign I had snagged from the front window. The woman's cool eyes flickered between the sign and me. She didn't say anything, only looked slightly thoughtful as slender fingers raked through her long blonde hair. "What can you do?" She finally asked, definitely not expecting me to be able to do much of anything at all. She'd be right. "Anything and everything," I answered-lied-instantly, hoping I didn't look too desperate, didn't sound too eager. To be perfectly honest, I hadn't worked a day in my life. My hands were used to weekly manicures not hard labor. But desperate times call for desperate measures. The blonde appeared thoughtful again. Those magnificent eyes gave me a once over, slow and steady. You could see the cogs turning in her head as she considered it. I decided to try and sound more convincing. "I have many skills," I added. Okay, so I stole that from Xena, but I was hoping it worked as well for me as it did for her. The blonde lifted a sculpted brow and the smile was, once again, back on her lips. She seemed amused. Maybe she was a Xena fan? "Alright... I'll start you off cleaning the bathrooms, sweeping the floors, doing the dishes..." Crap.
