As Andrea spends more time with Jaime, she witnesses the harrowing side of cancer treatment. Jaime endures grueling chemotherapy sessions, painful side effects, and moments of deep despair.

Against all odds, Jaime's condition begins to improve. The treatments start showing positive results, and her strength slowly returns. Jaime and Andy celebrate each small victory, growing closer with each step forward. Their love becomes a source of inspiration and healing for both of them.

Eventually, Jaime enters remission. The ordeal leaves them both changed, but their love emerges stronger than ever. Healing Touch is a tale of love, resilience and the transformative power of human connection in the face of life's greatest challenges.

An angel and a rebel. A scholarship girl and a playgirl. When their worlds collide, sparks fly-and nothing will ever be the same. When Enid Jones-straight-A student and the perfect Islamic daughter-earns a scholarship to the prestigious Montrose Academy, she believes her life is finally falling into place. Her plan is simple: keep her head down, ace her classes, secure a scholarship to Yale, work a side job, and one day gain full custody of her younger sister from their abusive father. But trouble has other plans for Enid... and its name is Olivia Grayson. Carefree, rebellious, and notorious for breaking hearts, Olivia is Montrose Academy's golden girl. With her comes the infamous Golden Four, and a whirlwind of chaos Enid wants no part of. At least, that's what she tells herself. Because Olivia isn't just interested in Enid-she's made it her mission to strip away the saintly image everyone sees and uncover the fire hidden beneath. But what if it's Olivia's carefully crafted "bad girl" façade that begins to crumble first... all because of a certain brunette who was never supposed to matter? ๑ "After what you and your stupid friends did to me, isn't it enough? Do you really have to rub it in my face?" I snapped, my voice shaking with fury. Olivia just smirked, stepping closer until her warm minty breath fanned against my lips. My pulse went wild, betraying me. "I'm only just getting started, angel," she whispered in that husky voice of hers. "And I'll stop... the moment I hear you moan my name." ๑ An angel and a rebel. A scholarship girl and a playgirl. Can love survive when it's least expected-or will it destroy them both?

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.
