Juliette Smith is aware that everything she does is on borrowed time. Her popularity, her relationship with her father, with her friends... all of it is on borrowed time. Her existence as she knows it is so fragile.
With the revelation of one secret, all of it could go up in flames, but there's never been any reason for her to disclose it, and there has been every reason for her to hide it; it protects her image.
Esme Panchak is, by definition, a poison to her image. She is everything that Juliette isn't. She's undermotivated, crass, and unapologetically her own person. She's everything that Juliette has trained herself to loathe, and everything she has successfully avoided for three years... but she's enchanting, enticing. Whenever they're together, she can feel her grip slipping bit by bit.
So, when Juliette ends up stuck with Esme as her lab partner, she realizes just how quickly the secrets she's trying to outrun can catch up with her.

Stung By You
I just close my eyes. Feeling him. Smelling him. Just existing close to him. My fingers clutch at his shirt, like it's the only thing keeping me from doing something reckless. Something completely, irrevocably stupid. Like kissing my son's best friend. And it feels so wrong. Oh God. So damn wrong. But then- His thumb shifts against my skin. A slow, lazy stroke. And suddenly, it feels so right. SO DAMN RIGHT. I breathe in too sharply. Mistake. He notices. Of course, he notices. His grip on my hips tightens. "You always this tense?" I force out a breath. "You always this annoying?" Leo laughs under his breath. "Only when I'm right." I tilt my head, and his eyes are already waiting for me-dark, unreadable, impossibly close. His fingers brush just above my waist. Barely there, but enough. Enough to make me hyper-aware of how easy it'd be to- "You wear this every night, don't you?" It takes me half a second to register what he means. The hoodie. His hoodie. *** 💔 She never expected to fall for him. 🔥 He never stopped waiting for her. 🏡 But some love stories don't follow the rules. Jenny Thompson moved to start fresh. A new neighborhood, a new home, a new beginning. What she didn't expect? Leo Mitchell. Her son's best friend. Fifteen years younger. And looking at her like she's something he's never stopped wanting. She tells herself it's nothing. She tells herself it can't happen. But then- 💬 "I don't know how to stop wanting this." 🔥 "Then don't." 📖 A slow-burn, emotional age-gap romance about love, healing, and the risk of wanting more. ** Taboo. Age gap. Off-limits tension. A love that shouldn't exist-but try stopping it.**Complete

Instead, it swallowed her whole. Ansel Laurent doesn't love―he consumes. His touch... a burn. His words... a leash. His presence... a suffocation. His love... a slow and painful death. She should have run the first time his grip tightened, the first time his whispered words curled around her throat like a promise of things to come. But she didn't. And now, he won't let her go. Zavien Amato was supposed to be her escape... his unrequited love fueling his desire to protect her, the one person who saw the girl beneath the wreckage, the one who would tear the world apart to pull her from the fire. But Ansel isn't just the fire―he is the burning. And if Solène dares to run, if she dares to reach for a life without him, he will drag her back into the dark with bloody hands and a smile. She is his. And... If he can't have her... no one can.Complete

And after seeing each other for the first time in fifteen years, Parker and Astrid use this as an opportunity to catch up more from their previous conversation at Cafe Royale. Through the festival excitement, Angie meets Parker and quickly recruits Amber to help set them up with Astrid. Though her match making skills may be less than perfect. But she is determined to not let her inexperience with love get in the way of Astrid's happiness. And it may be an opportunity to help her build courage in her own love life. But things take an interesting turn when Parker and some friends they've made through unexpected reunions invite Astrid out to a night of fun at Bronze Brew. Though Astrid seems hesitant by the invitation and the guest list, she decides to try her best to be there to spend more time with Parker before they leave her. Again. However, things may not go as planned when Astrid finds herself working through old feelings and caring about things in Parker's life that she worries may just not be any of her business. Not anymore. And after a fun night gone wrong, she accidentally goes too far to defend them. Especially since it seems like they don't want her help in that department. Not if it turns into pure chaos. She just hopes it isn't too far that she cannot rekindle some old feelings, even if it's solely through friendship and moral support.

Somebody Like You
Step one: graduate. Step two: accidentally sleep with your best friend. Step three: get trapped working summer camp together because your other best friend has no sense of boundaries. Now Enya and Maddie are sharing a cabin, pretending nothing happened, and doing a terrible job at it. It's hot. It's messy. It's gay. * * * The summer before college was supposed to be chill; sunburns, iced lattes, maybe a mild existential crisis. But when Skylar signs everyone up to be counselors at a middle school camp, Enya and Maddie find themselves trapped in a mosquito-infested nightmare... together. One small problem: They may or may not have ACCIDENTALLY hooked up after graduation. And Maddie is convinced Enya planned the whole thing. Between canoe races gone wrong, s'mores that end in arguments, and bunkhouse confessions they swore would never happen again, both girls are about to learn that feelings aren't something you can logic your way out of-or yell your way past. Because sometimes the person who drives you craziest... is the one who feels like home.
One Night Only
*Lesbian Smut A few years back, Courtney and Emilia shared a brief connection in an airport. Cancelled flights turned into a night that felt like it belonged in another life. It was just one night, and then Emilia was gone. No last name, no number, just the memory of her that Courtney could never forget. When they run into each other again, the woman that she remembers isn't the same. She's quieter, guarded, and clearly hiding something. Reconnecting should feel like fate, but instead, it feels like a risk. As Courtney pushes for answers, and Emilia tries to protect the fragile life she's built, the past begins to creep closer. The spark between them is still there, but so are the secrets. The closer that they get, the more Courtney begins to wonder: did she ever really know her at all?Complete
