|| 3rd Place, Teen Fiction winner of the Lavender Awards||

Right out of high school and starting her first year in university, Claire Paisley thought she knew what she wanted. 

Following in her father's footsteps seemed like the right thing to do to make her parents proud. There's only one problem, she doesn't actually want to be an accountant for the rest of her life. In fact, her brother telling her to drop out seemed like the best thing to have ever happened to her.

Maybe for the first time, she'll finally take a leap of faith and question everything she thought she knew about herself. 

And ending up across the ocean, with her stupid advice column, might just grant her the wish she's always dreamed of, to know what it's like to be in love... and also learn what that means.

⚠ Warning sexual content!!! ⚠ *Book 1 of the "Unexpected Lovestory" Series* She loved her husband more than her last breath. She was blinded, deafened and suffocated in his love. She gave him everything but he was a receiver, never a giver. The only things he gave was confusion. He gave manipulation and he gave her mind the masqueraded ideals of his "undeniable love" when the only person he loved was himself. He had plagued her mind, so much so that when he suggested an open relationship he made her believe it was her idea but she never wanted that. She wanted him and only him. He wanted her and everyone else he could get. But that all changed when Tobias Wrexler walked in... ©️ Copyright 2020 Demii Jada R. ©️ All Rights Reserved.

The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts by redisle_love

Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book! Please read the list before reading the book!] [Word count: +140,000 words...I write a lot, but enjoy anyway!]

In Love With The Dark by xBunux

Please I repeat please do not read this story. It was my first ever written story so it is horrendous and in a utter shame for me, though I won't delete the story cause it plays a very important part in my life. Instead you can read my other stories like Unsaid, Undefined or P S Don't Forget Me, also don't read back and forth cause it's too girl and cliche Rubecca was a girl who had always believed in love and happy ending until she was cheated by her first true love. Her believe in love had disappeared but when she met Danial everything changed for her. Suddenly her parents had to move far away from her. She had no place to live, just then Danial allows her to live with him. Will she be able to live with a vampire? Will she ever fall in love again? A story about love, betrayal and hatred.
