Love was a term coined by the movement for equality beginning in the 1960's. Love was something that Rebecca Hayes never thought she would find. A young, introverted college graduate, Rebecca is commission to be a French tutor to the youngest children of the wealthy Donnelley family. In the summer of 1964, Rebecca is uprooted from her quiet life in the suburbs of New Orleans and settles in with the Donnelleys in Los Angeles, California. During this internment, Rebecca finds experience. She finds friends. She finds purpose. What she did not expect to find, was love. And the last place she ever thought she would find it was in the eldest Donnelley daughter, Joanne. Now an old woman, Rebecca recounts the passionate love affair that is still just as picturesque as it was 59 years ago, during a time when this kind of love was considered something entirely opposite.

Heartsong for Dr. Montgomery (Book 1 Gavine) by CVanderbutch
29 parts Complete Mature
What started as a no-strings-attached arrangement between Princess Alexa, the next in line for the British crown, and Gavine, an American Olympian with dreams of medical school, quickly spiraled into something neither of them anticipated. Their casual connection deepened, their emotions caught them off guard, and before long, they realized they were falling for each other--hard. It may sound like a cliché, but the saying about timing is painfully true. Even when you find the right person, the timing doesn't always cooperate. And when your relationship involves the entire British Commonwealth as an uninvited third party, it can be more than a little daunting. But love is never simple. As Alexa grapples with the weight of royal expectations and duty, and Gavine tries to balance her burgeoning career, relentless paparazzi, and meddling friends, their journey becomes one of resilience, self-discovery, and navigating a world determined to keep them apart. This is the first installment in the "Sapphic Starwood Love Series," a sweeping tale of love, ambition, and the courage it takes to rewrite the rules. *** Authors Note: This is an adult novel with sexual female-on-female content.
