Maybe it is not about happy ending. Maybe it is about the story. - Albert Camus Slow Burn <3

After nearly six years of service in the U.S. Army, Alex returns home, a woman hardened by war and haunted by the echoes of a past she never truly left behind. Chief among those ghosts is Elianna, the woman she once loved, who vanished without warning, leaving Alex with nothing but silence, doubts, and heartbreak. Over the years, Alex tried to move on, convincing herself that Elianna had found someone else. When Alex learns that Elianna has a son, and it seems to confirm her worst fears: betrayal, abandonment, and a future that never included her. But Elianna's life has been far from easy. Alone, raising a child she never thought she'd have, she's spent the past six years fighting to build a safe, if quiet, world for her son, a world untouched by the confusion and pain of her past. Now Alex's unexpected return throws everything off balance. Old wounds resurface. New questions emerge. And in the middle of it all stands Anthony, a bright-eyed little boy with a love for soccer and a heart wide enough to love without hesitation. As Anthony bonds with Alex over their shared passion, the walls Elianna has built start to crack. And for Alex, every moment spent with him, and with her, stirs a love that never truly died. Some truths will hurt. Some forgiveness will be hard-earned. But sometimes, love, even a fractured one, finds its way back home. "Sometimes the pieces we thought we lost are the ones that make us whole"

Celeste "Essie" Winscott never expected to land in New York City with an apartment too good to be true and a godmother she barely knew. But when Eden "Denny" Ravelle, her mother's enigmatic best friend, offers her a place to stay while she pursues her postgraduate research at NYU, Essie accepts-grateful, but curious. Eden is poised, successful, and effortlessly cool, but something about her remains just out of reach. When Essie stumbles upon an old DVD in the apartment, she realises why. Eden isn't just a wealthy businesswoman-she was once one of the most infamous adult film stars in New York. Shocked but intrigued, Essie dives into research, determined to understand the woman behind the legend. As she unravels Eden's past, she's forced to confront her own biases, desires, and the thin line between scandal and empowerment. Because some stories aren't just about the past-they change everything about the present.

Duchess Azolaria "Zola" Thalassa Varnai has everything-status, privilege, power. And none of it feels like hers. At twenty-one, she's in line for Lysvenia's throne, but all she dreams about is freedom. Until freedom arrives in the form of Commander Reya Stravik: the King's most stoic, disciplined soldier assigned to be her personal bodyguard. Older, sharp-eyed, and impossible to read, Reya is everything Zola isn't-and everything she can't stop wanting. What begins as a reluctant partnership slowly transforms into something neither of them expected: late-night vulnerability, whispered truths, sparring matches that blur the line between tension and desire. But in a world where duty dictates love, and power complicates every glance, their connection is as dangerous as it is inevitable. When political unrest stirs and threats become real, Zola must decide not just what kind of ruler she wants to be-but who she wants by her side when everything begins to fall apart. Lush with longing and brimming with heart, 'The Duchess' is a slow-burn queer romance about two women defying the odds-and choosing each other, over and over again.
