As the daughter of a legendary figure skater, she's spent her entire life striving to be the best-pushing herself harder, faster, and farther. But when she's forced to share the ice with Aurora Bennett, Camille's world is turned upside down. Aurora doesn't just glide on the ice; she owns it. Confident, competitive, and effortlessly talented, Aurora is everything Camille hates-everything Camille fears she'll never be. The two are rivals, both driven by the weight of family expectations and their burning need to be the top athlete. But when fate and the rink force them into close quarters, the animosity between them begins to shift into something neither of them can control. Trapped together, their forced proximity ignites a firestorm of tension. Camille can't decide if she wants to throttle Aurora or kiss her. Aurora's confidence rattles Camille's composure, and every touch on the ice sends sparks flying. But as they push each other to new limits, they find that their rivalry is just the beginning of something much deeper, more complicated-and far more dangerous to their hearts.

It was supposed to be anonymous. Just some harmless, late-night messeges on a forum. No names. No photos. No real-life complications. She was GoldTrap-mysterious, sharp, and way too good with words. I was BlueInk-awkward, sarcastic, and definitely not looking for anything. But then she made me laugh. Then she made me think. Then... she made me feel things I really shouldn't be feeling for someone I've never met. I'm Quinn. Twenty-four. Screenwriter-in-training. Emotionally a little chaotic and basically there no reason an amazing woman like her would be falling for someone like me. I've played a lot of roles in my life. But never this one. ----------------------------------------------- Late at night, I started writing letters to a stranger on a private forum-just to feel something real. She calls herself BlueInk. She's young, clever, infuriatingly honest... and somehow, she sees right through me. She doesn't know I'm Juliette Delaney-Hollywood's favorite ice queen with a face on every magazine and a life that doesn't belong to me anymore. She doesn't know that when I type, my hands shake. That when I read her replies, I smile. That I'm craving her words more than I've ever craved the spotlight. And I don't know what will happen if she finds out who I am. Because if I tell her the truth, I might lose the one person who loves me for who I really am. Not the icon. Not the actress. Just... me. But if I don't? I'll never get to feel her say my name out loud.

This is a mature girlxgirl story. I would highly recommend reading I Hate You & Oh, My, Addison first, however this can be read as a standalone novel. Blaire Felt moved to Oregon State University four years ago after graduating from Kingsley High School. Of course, that meant separating from her best friends just so she could journey by herself in a completely new state. Instead of rejuvenation, Blaire was met with heartache as she walked in on her boyfriend of a year cheating on her with her roommate. Therefore, her friends decide to spoil her on a trip to forget in the city that never sleeps - Las Vegas. Five luxurious days to bond with her friends after years and potentially make some wrong decisions along the way. However, Blaire can't help but cherish the quick moments she had with a gambling stranger at a Blackjack table. Ready to risk it all, even if it meant snubbing her friends a bit - Blaire was determined to find herself during her five days in Vegas, especially if it meant getting to know the beautiful, green-eyed girl that bet way too much money a hand. Because what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas - right?

This is a MATURE girlxgirl story. This can be a standalone novel, but there are characters from my book, I Hate You. Melanie Canon loves the idea of no commitment and no consequences, which is why she feels it necessary to have sex with any attractive person that's willing to play a game of cat and mouse. Because of this, Melanie essentially knows every girl on campus. Which is why Melanie is confused when Addison Cruz, a beautiful girl she had no idea existed, introduces herself one day and offers to have non consequential sex despite never even being kissed. Addison is bold, intelligent, and a tad-bit weird(an understatement). She's not afraid of telling it how it is, and she's definitely not afraid to say anything she was thinking about - whether or not it was appropriate to public ears. And besides - if this girl was offering a sexual relationship without the consequences of love, attachment, and relationships - then why did Melanie feel uncomfortable and guilty about using her? A quirky story revolving around lust, witty remarks, a lot of awkward conversations, and learning that it's okay to be yourself - you won't be disappointed as you follow the love story of how Addison Cruz and Melanie Canon fall in love.

A genderqueer hillbilly and a haunted woman must break a generational curse that has entwined their lives in the abandoned coal-stripped mountains of the Pennsylvania Wilds. *** Desperate to flee a dark past, Finley drives off a cliff and prays to the ancient hemlocks below to catch her fall. But in the abandoned hollows of the Pennsylvania Wilds, everything comes at a price. Tasked by an undead Not-Deer, Finley must find the three talismans that mark the mountain's boundaries in order to break a century old curse, one that has not only haunted the women in her family for generations, but has also bound the supernatural beings to the mountain, including the dead.

Beverly Bale spent her entire adult life wrapped in luxury-mansion halls, glittering parties, designer labels, and friends who praised her as long as the champagne flowed. She never imagined how quickly it could all disappear. But when her husband is arrested for a long list of financial crimes, Beverly's world collapses in a single day. Her accounts are frozen. Her mansion is seized. Her so-called friends vanish. And for the first time in her life... she has nowhere to go. The only door left open belongs to the woman the Bale family threw away years ago: Kimmy Walters-Jonathan's younger sister, the outcast daughter who was disowned at sixteen for being gay, and the owner of a small, steady bar built from grief, resilience, and the memory of her late girlfriend. Beverly and Kimmy were never close. They were never meant to be. But desperation pushes Beverly into the tiny apartment above Kimmy's bar, forcing two women with nothing in common to live under the same roof. As Beverly learns how to survive without wealth-how to work, how to try, how to be real-Kimmy starts to see a different woman beneath the designer surface. And Beverly begins to discover a life she never knew was possible: simple, honest, filled with people who care without conditions. But closeness is dangerous. Both women carry wounds, fears, and a past that threatens to pull them apart. And yet... something undeniable grows between them, slow and fragile at first, then impossible to ignore. Beverly may have lost her fortune- but in the ruins of her old life, she might be on the verge of finding something far more priceless. A new self. A new home. And a love she was never supposed to want... yet can no longer imagine living without.
