Detective Kim Hayden thought that switching from homicide to white collar would be the biggest career move she would make; she was wrong. When she's sent undercover to the epicenter of luxury, the eminent Shaw Manor, home of the city's resident multimillionaire, Kim is suddenly living a life she never knew. She leaves behind the familiar police force, her home, and her on-again-off-again girlfriend, all to become a housekeeper for a man she doesn't even respect. She's forced into an assortment of new relationships, including one with her impossibly straightforward and controlling partner, Allison Beckett, who always asserts her knowledge of what's best. But relationships go from messy to messier, when Kim makes the biggest mistake of all: falling for the boss's wife. This story is rated R for language and sexual content. A.K.A, all the good stuff. Read at your own discretion, and enjoy, friends. :) Trigger warning: DV/IPV, sexual violence Cover by @halieghk, I can't get over it, SO MUCH YES!

Living in Deep Wood, a rural farming town in Idaho that hasn't changed much since the 1800s, Scarlet has to keep her relationship with Hunter a secret lest they fall prey to the homophobic bullying of their classmates. One day, on her way to visit her grandmother, Scarlet meets the enigmatic social pariah known as Mara Wolf, a mysterious girl surrounded by infamy and damning rumors.

A Happy Valentine's Day Surprise Short Story from your friendly neighborhood Phaulkon. *** Valerie Greco hates Alexis Sterling, and the feeling is mutual. It seems as if the two have been at war ever since they stepped foot on campus, although no one really knows why. The one thing they are forced to play nice for is their soccer team, but they've just played the final game of the year, and Val has some unfinished business with the Sterling girl before the night is through. ***NOTICE: This short story is NOT in ANY WAY related to the storyline in 'Alex's Girl' or 'Lost Then Found'. I repeat: NOT RELATED. Not a prequel. Not a spinoff. Not related. It merely uses heavily tweaked, 2D versions of the same characters. You will find their actions rather out-of-character (or in-character if they were drunk, dumb teenagers with completely different lives/backstories).

Michaela has an unusual part-time job, but it helps her pay her way through university. Victoria is a public figure, with a secret and a problem that Michaela might be able to fix. Work brings them together, but can Michaela keep her focus? Written for the #BadassReads and #LGBT combined contest. Some parts of this were prompted by recent news stories, but the details of my situations and characters are all entirely fictional and not in any way supposed to resemble any real person or situation. Many thanks to the lovely @sovereinete for the cover! Be warned, this story contains improbable situations, some mild violence and a whiff of sex, and a fair bit of what I hope is badassery...and was great fun to write. ;) xx January, 2016.
