When Sabrina's eyes met hers across the arena - and she was pulled onstage to play "Juno" -something electric sparked between them. Something real. Something neither of them could explain. Robin's world is one of structure and quiet discipline. Sabrina's life is chaos wrapped in glitter and spotlights. They couldn't be more different, yet somehow, they fit. What starts as a dangerous flirtation turns into something real. Late-night messages. Secret hotel rooms. A love that's both beautiful and destructive. Robin's discipline is no match for Sabrina's charm, and Sabrina's world isn't built for something this raw, this honest. But fame has its price, and the past doesn't like to stay buried. When old wounds and jealous hearts resurface, Robin and Sabrina have to fight for their love - or risk losing each other to the darkness waiting in the wings.

Windsor Lane
When Rosie's new husband ignores her, she begs the harlot next-door for lessons on seduction (1980s suburban dystopia with a spicy lesbian romance) *** It's 1982, and newlywed Rosie McGee has just moved into an idealistic suburban cul-de-sac called Windsor Lane. As a good Christian girl, this is Rosie's dream come true... or at least, it should be. However, next-door-neighbor Scarlett Everly doesn't fit in with the rest of the good Christian wives in their neighborhood (she drinks, she sleeps around, and she doesn't even attend church!). Worse, Rosie's new husband suddenly seems utterly uninterested in her. Has he already been seduced by Scarlett? Or is Rosie simply too boring? After a honeymoon more closely resembling a funeral, Rosie gathers her courage and marches right up to Scarlett's door with a plea: teach me your ways. Scarlett agrees, with one condition: Rosie must model for her next painting. When the agreement leads to unexpected attraction, Rosie begins to question her own priorities. The warmth she once felt when holding Thomas's hand is nothing compared to what she feels when Scarlett is painting her. But a good Christian girl should not think of such things. Especially not in Windsor Lane.
