Following recent turmoil in his organization, Gerry finds comfort in Sam, an ex-government agent seeking redemption through the Co-op. Sam is haunted by his past and failing to fit in, but he seeks guidance in Gerry's passion and idealism. Seeing his desire to change, Gerry feels a deep connection with Sam despite his baggage. Their budding relationship is strained near its breaking point when Sam reveals even more secrets from his past. Gerry has to question if he can forgive Sam one more time. Can Sam truly be reconciled, or is he doomed to always make the worst decision? This is a passionate train wreck that explores evolutions in relationships, the challenges of moving on from the past, and the struggle to build a future against a backdrop of political transformation.

Help Me Pick Up The Pieces {Completed} (GirlXGirl) [TeacherXStudent] by Whatever81

*Destined to Be series book one. Not necessary to read Book one before book two.* Achievements: #1 in Lesbianromance [August 14th, 2019] #4 in Lesbian [September 30th, 2019] #5 in GirlxGirl [August 26, 2019] Avery has had a tough life, a very tough life. She feels like the universe is forever against her. And never thought that, even after everything she's endured, she would ever get her 'Happily Ever After'. Then one day she thinks it may be possible. The woman she had been in love with for years, finally returns her feelings. Avery was finally happy, the woman she loved so much for so long, finally loved her back. Her 'Happily Ever After' was within reach. At least that's what she thought, until the woman managed to shatter Avery's already broken heart into a million pieces. Months later, the wound still fresh, she packs up her stuff and moves back to the city where she was born. She thinks being in a different city and reconnecting with her childhood best friend, will help her heal. But, nothing seems to change at all. At least not until one night about 2 months later. Her friend drags her to a club. To get her friend off her back, she finds a girl to pick up. She expected for it to be a one night stand and that was it but she desperately wants to see the woman again. And she ends up getting her wish but the next time they see each other it's in one of the most unexpected of situations. Just when she was starting to think that she might be able to be happy again, it all goes to crap. Her life seems to be a never ending string of heart break. Maybe the whole universe really is against her. Warning: This story's going to get a bit dark/depressing. And even though it's clearly labeled as such but I still feel I need to say this is a mature girlxgirl story so there will be sex. Also don't read if you have a problem w/ the word fuck because I use it quite liberally.

Mrs. Avery by RejectedConcepts

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K

RIPTIDE by lecmat_1

Sam and Hailee come from two completely different worlds. Sam is a young woman to whom everything seems to come easily: raised in a wealthy family, surrounded by loving parents, she is studying law and headed toward a bright future. Hailee, on the other hand, lives on the margins - in a room as dark and narrow as the life that's been forced upon her since she was cast out by her family. Their paths were never meant to cross, and yet, their encounter changes everything. Drawn to Hailee's fierce sense of freedom, Sam gets pulled into a world that fascinates her as much as it unsettles her. But behind that apparent freedom lie shadows, deep wounds... and very real dangers. As their bond deepens, Sam will discover that this vibrant and unpredictable world could shatter everything she thought she knew - and put her in harm's way. Disclaimer: English is not my mother tongue. This is a translation of my original story in French "contre courant"

Where did my twin go? by myimaginationiswild

Siblings get separated all the time right? then if you ever find your sibling after years and years of being apart and not even knowing the other existed you'd be thrilled. right? Right? WRONG. Sam, at 17. finds out that her whole life has been a lie. her parents aren't her parents, her beloved brother and favorite person in the world isn't really her biological brother. what would you do if you were in a situation like that? but atleast you'd find out that you had a twin. A person who suddenly finds out that they have a twin is supposed to be really happy. then your twin would be thrilled that they got reunited with their twin and that would make things easier right? Again, WRONG. ______________________________________ there will be both heterosexual and homosexual relationships in this story. and if you don't like that I'm really sorry. strong language, so kids, don't read.
