(rivals to lovers, small town, sports) [WATTYS 2024 GRAND PRIZE WINNER] (Season 3 coming soon) After a devastating Olympic loss puts her career in a downward spiral, an aging skier returns to her laid-back mountain hometown to rediscover her love of her sport and instead finds herself falling for a rival athlete.
***
A year away from what might be her last chance to win Olympic gold, twenty-seven-year-old alpine skier Juniper James shocks everyone by announcing she won't race this year. Returning to her mountain hometown hoping to rediscover the spark that once drove her to World Cup glory, she instead crosses paths with the rival who shut her out of the podium at the last Olympics.
For Summer Li, nothing is more important than skiing. At twenty years old, she has already won Olympic silver, but an accident has left her desperate to get back on her skis before the world learns the extent of her injury. She came to Crystal Peaks to lay low while she recovers. The last thing she needs is the woman she once idolized hanging around asking questions.
Both struggling with career lows, Juniper and Summer have more in common than they think. Even as they push each other, sparks begin to fly, but Juniper blames Summer for her slump, and Summer isn't going to let a relationship distract from her recovery. And only one of them can win the gold medal.
This inconvenient attraction seems on a course for disaster from the start. But these are women who face the impossible every day, and there's a magic in the mountains that can thaw even the coldest hearts.

Unconventional Lovers ☑️
They've never kissed before, because that would be a step too far and it would mean they like each other. It was just a random hookup situation, between two guys who started to hate each other as they grew apart. That was the deal between Jessie Summers and Riley Williams. Countless amounts of hookups, endless hatred toward each other, but no kissing since they had no feelings for each other. They both agreed that it was completely causal, with no emotional investment or seriousness between them. At least that's what they thought at first... ~~~~~~~~~~~ Highest rankings: • Bisexual - #1 (21/7/20) • Lgbtfiction - #1 (19/7/20) • Boyxboy - #1 (11/9/20) • Boylove - #1 (14/9/20) • Sports - #1 (20/7/20) • Rivalry - #1 (11/7/20) • Casualsex - #1 (3/7/20) • Dorm - #1 (12/12/20) • Enemieswithbenefits - #1 (26/820) • Gay - #2 (2/9/20( • Lgbt - #5 (31/8/20) • Enemies - #5 (23/9/20) ~~~~~~~~~~~Complete

After all, she's only here for two weeks and then she has to figure her life out. She has nothing left to lose. © Elle Carrigan 2023Complete
Like Bees to Honey | gxg
When a laid back and rudely gorgeous city girl comes for her farmer's market crown, Sabina's dream of joining the family honey business is threatened - and her heart may just get stung too. *** Now that she's graduated high school, Sabina is ready to join her family's honey business, but her parents are convinced that there's no future for her in her small town. They're set on sending her to university, which she knows will be less fun than getting swarmed by angry bees. To prove that her place is on the honey farm, Sabina plans to impress her parents by winning the Best Vendor prize at the summer farmer's market. Her quest for the sweet prize gets sticky when a pretty city girl steals her table at the market and doesn't even feel bad about it. Mel's family has been the enemy of Sabina's for generations, and now this otherwise easygoing girl seems determined to continue the feud by beating Sabina to the Best Vendor prize. The competition would be no problem for Sabina... if Mel wasn't also gorgeous and maybe even a little funny. Sabina didn't plan for feelings, and if she gives in to the temptation she may lose her honey farm dreams. But Mel's love might be the one thing sweeter than honey, if she can avoid the sting. *** Complete at 82k words. *featured on Wattpad's Cottagecore Cute and A Latte Love reading lists*Complete![Second Chances [Lesbian]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/245483777-256-k116206.jpg)
Second Chances [Lesbian]
I let out a soft Mmm and instantly opened my eyes to see her looking at me with her head slightly tilted to the side and an amused smile playing on her lips. "Do you always have that reaction to things that taste good?" The possibility of a double meaning to her question wasn't lost on me and it surprised me, making me cough. I cleared my throat before answering. "Well, it depends.." I answered carefully. "On what?" She leaned forward slightly with what looked like an almost mischievous glint in her eyes. "On what I'm eating," I fired back sounding a lot more confident than I felt. Her eyebrows went up slightly. *** When Ren stumbles upon a job opportunity, she never thinks that it'll completely change her life. Meeting Cameron offers her something she thought she'd never get.. a second chance. Little does she know that it will also mean finally finding herself.
