Jay has spent years perfecting her craft in the solitude of her art studio, where the hum of creativity drowns out everything else. The only thing that truly captivates her is the art she creates, until the enigmatic Calista Clarke enters her world. Answering an ad for a model, Calista brings more than just a striking face to Jay's canvas-she brings a magnetic energy that unsettles and ignites a desire Jay can't ignore.
As Jay paints Calista, something begins to shift between them. The lines of the portrait blur, becoming less about capturing a likeness and more about capturing the emotion, the unspoken connection that seems to spark between them every time their eyes meet. But with every brushstroke, Jay finds herself drawn deeper into something far more complex than art: a bond she never anticipated, a truth she's afraid to face.
Calista's presence stirs emotions Jay has spent a lifetime avoiding-vulnerability, longing, and the fear of opening her heart. And as the days pass, both women find themselves standing on the edge of something they can't control. The studio becomes their battleground, their sanctuary, and the place where every moment spent together threatens to shatter the walls they've carefully built around themselves.
As passion simmers beneath the surface, Jay must confront what it means to truly let someone in, and whether her art-and her heart-can survive the unraveling of everything she thought she knew.
Her Portrait  is a beautifully intimate journey that blends the power of art with the raw vulnerability of love, exploring the thin line between creation and destruction, connection and fear, and the courage it takes to step into the unknown. A story about two people who must learn that sometimes the most powerful masterpieces are the ones we never expect-and that love, like art, can be both freeing and terrifying.

From birth, Trinity saw the world differently than her peers. Not that she knew much of her peers in her childhood as she was home-schooled. However, that's all in the past. She has her own business, works hard and all-in-all, she's happy. For the most part, that is. As long as she still has her seclusion for which she has worked hard and values above all else, then she will be fine. If people would just stay away... Leah has been blind her entire life but never let it hold her back as she embraced it with open arms. She hasn't ever known any differently and life is great. Or at least, it could be with these new changes. Moving to a new town, Leah is excited to begin a new life, but her family isn't exactly shy about their protectiveness of her. If only she could be somewhere, anywhere where people would treat her just as they would anyone else. As their paths cross, Leah and Trinity's lives are forever changed, some changes for the better and others still up for debate. People can sometimes surprise us in the most exhilarating of ways, however, and they are just about to find out exactly why.

It was supposed to be anonymous. Just some harmless, late-night messeges on a forum. No names. No photos. No real-life complications. She was GoldTrap-mysterious, sharp, and way too good with words. I was BlueInk-awkward, sarcastic, and definitely not looking for anything. But then she made me laugh. Then she made me think. Then... she made me feel things I really shouldn't be feeling for someone I've never met. I'm Quinn. Twenty-four. Screenwriter-in-training. Emotionally a little chaotic and basically there no reason an amazing woman like her would be falling for someone like me. I've played a lot of roles in my life. But never this one. ----------------------------------------------- Late at night, I started writing letters to a stranger on a private forum-just to feel something real. She calls herself BlueInk. She's young, clever, infuriatingly honest... and somehow, she sees right through me. She doesn't know I'm Juliette Delaney-Hollywood's favorite ice queen with a face on every magazine and a life that doesn't belong to me anymore. She doesn't know that when I type, my hands shake. That when I read her replies, I smile. That I'm craving her words more than I've ever craved the spotlight. And I don't know what will happen if she finds out who I am. Because if I tell her the truth, I might lose the one person who loves me for who I really am. Not the icon. Not the actress. Just... me. But if I don't? I'll never get to feel her say my name out loud.

She doesn't just break hearts. She devours souls. Amanda Langley has never had to work for anything except her beauty, and at forty-seven, she's perfected it into a weapon. Drifting through New York's art world on charm and calculated vulnerability, she's mastered the art of being wanted-by the right people, at the right time, for exactly as long as she needs them. When she walks into Samantha Reyes's Chelsea gallery on a humid September night, it looks like fate. Sam-brilliant, lonely, hungry for connection-is everything Amanda has been searching for. What begins as intoxication spirals into obsession. But Amanda didn't choose Sam randomly, and this isn't love. This is something else entirely. What follows is a masterclass in emotional destruction-a manipulation so precisely calibrated to inflict maximum damage, that Sam is left shattered in ways she didn't know were possible. And in that devastation, Amanda finds exactly what she's been cultivating all along. Set against the glittering backdrop of New York and Singapore art scene-where everyone is selling a carefully curated version of themselves and appearance is the only truth that matters-The Time Between is a mesmerizing exploration of narcissism, desire, and the darkness that lives behind beautiful faces. Part psychological thriller, part modern gothic tale, it chronicles the brutal space between devastation and healing, where Sam must fight to reclaim not just her life, but her very self.

The Takeover Was Personal They were raised as royalty. Crowned by legacy. Trained to win. Trisha Singhania-Trixie to the few who dare-is the sharp-suited, no-nonsense CEO of The Singhania Royale, Rajasthan's most elite 5-star bar, hotel, and restaurant. Known for her calm dominance and piercing charm, she built an empire with her mind-and guarded her heart with steel. Reeva Khanna-Reeves to those who know the softness behind the sarcasm-is the graceful yet cunning CEO of The Khanna Court, a royal 5-star haven of luxury and legacy. With elegance as her weapon and wit as her armor, she's as alluring as she is unreadable. They've known of each other for years-but never met. Until now. At CROWNED: The New Age Icons Awards in Jaipur, their worlds collide. Flirtation sparks. Tension simmers. And when Trisha wins the title, it's not just the trophy that leaves Reeva breathless-it's a look. A silent invitation neither of them is ready to name. A spontaneous business meeting turns into a proposal: Toast of Royals, a new luxury restaurant meant to unite the two empires. What starts as a calculated partnership quickly blurs into late-night talks, casual touches, and a mutual agreement for no-strings sex. But when bodies begin to crave more than just heat, and hearts start asking questions they never intended to answer, it all spirals. Trisha pulls away. Reeva breaks. And just when it seems like desire was all it ever was, fate intervenes. This time, it's not business. It's not rivalry. It's personal. A royal, Sapphic slow-burn featuring rivals turned partners, casual turned complicated, and love that wasn't part of the pitch-but took over anyway.
Push and Pull by JahoonPark
6 parts Ongoing Mature
Blake Johnson never asked for the spotlight. As the heir to her parents' luxury empire, she's spent years pretending-hiding her truth, her pain, and her heart. Being intersex was enough to make her a disappointment. Falling in love with a woman? That would be the final betrayal. Her parents control everything-their image, their company, and now her. When they assign her to oversee their latest photoshoot, she expects another dull, miserable obligation. Then Sabrina Carpenter walks in. Famous. Gorgeous. Untouchable. Sabrina is everything Blake was taught to avoid. Yet the moment their eyes meet, something inside her shifts. The chemistry is instant, undeniable, and far too dangerous. What starts as teasing and stolen glances soon turns into something deeper. They begin sneaking around-late-night calls, secret hotel rooms, and stolen hours where they can finally breathe, where the world can't see them. Every kiss feels like defiance. Every touch feels like freedom. But freedom always comes with a cost. Blake's parents would rather see her broken than happy. Their threats grow crueler, forcing her into an impossible choice. To protect Sabrina, she does the one thing that hurts most - she lets her go. But Sabrina doesn't give up easily. She fights back-fiercely, desperately - for the woman she loves, the love of her life. Even if it means risking her reputation, her career, and everything she's built. Because what they have isn't a scandal. It's love. Real. Wild. Unforgiving. Push and Pull is a dark, passionate romance about identity, control, and the kind of love that demands everything - especially when the world tells you it's wrong.
