Emily Roberts has a secret - and when she returns to her small hometown for Christmas, she intends to keep it that way. Irish-born Dani Connor wants nothing more than to forget her past. She keeps her world small: long hours at her bar, quiet nights, and a life in Charleston that asks nothing of her. What begins as a fleeting Christmas connection between two outsiders slowly becomes something deeper-built on half-truths and carefully guarded secrets. Emily is hiding a life she can't bring home. Dani is burying a past that refuses to stay buried. Two Lies and a Truth is a sapphic contemporary romance about identity, shame, and the risk of being truly known-set between quiet Southern streets and the harsh glare of a life lived in the spotlight. 🌈 Lesbian Romance • Secrets • Slow Burn • Holiday ✔️ Completed - 13K Words

Cass Morgan's life is headed nowhere fast. After a vandalism charge lands her with a court order, she's sent to complete three hundred hours of community service at Sunshine Pines-a two-week Christian wilderness camp for at-risk youth. Cass plans to keep her head down, serve her time, and get back to the city. Grace Sanderson takes Sunshine Pines seriously. As the pastor's daughter and, for the first time, the one fully in charge of running the summer program, she refuses to let a sharp-tongued troublemaker derail everything she's worked for. Grace thinks Cass is reckless, defensive, and hiding behind sarcasm. Cass thinks Grace is naïve, sheltered, and far too perfect. They clash from day one. Cass doesn't believe in anything - not God, not redemption, and least of all herself. Grace believes everyone is at Sunshine Pines for a reason. ⚠️This is a romance centered on two characters with opposing beliefs - faith and atheism are key themes throughout the story. 🌈Lesbian Romance • Sapphic • Slow Burn • Enemies to Lovers • Christian Summer Camp • Redemption Arc • Atheism • Religious themes Completed. 19k Words

Second chances are meant to bring hope but aren't they also a reminder of everything we've lost? Brenna Hayes knows exactly what it's like to lose everything you love. Widowed and broken, a second chance knocks on her door when an old mentor offers her a job in the town she left all those years ago. But there's a reason she left and it's the same reason she dreads going back. With no other option, she packs her things and returns to her past only to discover she left more loose ends than she realized. Grant Carter is one of those loose ends. The boy who broke her heart so many years ago and, ironically, has become the man who fixes things for a living. He also happens to be the contractor for Brenna's new home and suddenly finds himself face-to-face with the only woman he's ever loved. And the only woman he ever let go. Now, he's determined not to let his second chance get away and show Brenna just how good he is at mending what's been broken. *Rated 18+ due to mature themes and language.

The night Rosy was born, a comet passed over the earth. Only visible from a handful of states, clouds filling the skies, it was a miracle her mother saw it through the window of the ambulance. But she not only saw it, she named her baby girl after it. Rosy's comet. It only visited once every eleven years. However, after her mother pulled a runner, Rosy's father dedicated the first eleven years of her life to a thorough education in fear and disappointment. He put on a good front, but when the doors were closed, the masks came off. The next time Rosy's comet passed overhead, the world she knew came crashing down. But she survived, and that's what mattered - even if she only had the stars, her sisters, and Grube left to guide her. And then there was Luke, her unexpected angel of hope who'd kept her fighting when it seemed impossible, who'd picked her up in the aftermath of her darkest moments. He'd shown her what real love looked like, what it felt like. And she'd fallen for him slowly, steadily, until she'd lost sight entirely of where her soul ended and his began. But on the night everything was supposed to change, the night they were supposed to start their forever, the night Rosy's comet returned for a third time - Luke, her best friend, her confidante, the love of her life... her groom... didn't show. And Rosy discovered firsthand that there's only so much disappointment a soul can take before the damage becomes irreversible. ---- Raven Sisters Novellas: (1) To Regret a Raven (2) To Destroy a Raven (3) To Betray a Raven (4) To Crave a Raven (5) To Lose a Raven Though these stories are connected, they can each be read as a standalone.
