They shared a bed, a blunt, and a secret neither of them dared name.
Jules stopped believing in God the day the church turned its back on her.
Rowan still wears her mother's crucifix and flinches every time she looks at Jules too long.
They're best friends.
They're roommates.
They're everything but honest.
But late-night studying turns into passing blunts between trembling fingers. One shared bed becomes a confession booth. And when love starts to feel like sin, what's left to believe in?
-
Amen and Almost is a tender, aching slow-burn romance for the queer girls still unlearning shame. For the ones who still pray. For the ones who don't anymore. For the ones who want to be held like they're holy.
And now it's unravelling in whispers, touches, and almosts. Faith was never the problem. Wanting her was.

My Best Friend's Mother.
A slow-burn, taboo, age-gap romance about timing, temptation, and the quiet pull of the unexpected When Rowan transfers to an architect university, hoping for a quiet reset. She doesn't expect to click so effortlessly with Liana, a fellow student with a brilliant mind, a messy sketchbook, and a tendency to adopt people without asking. But Liana's world comes with something else. A home that feels too beautiful to belong to a college student and a mother who seems too poised, too self-assured, too observant to ignore. Liana's mother is everything Rowan doesn't understand yet, very composed, magnetic, and unsettling in ways that linger long after she leaves the room. Their connection is subtle at first. A glance. A pause. A conversation that feels heavier than it should. As Rowan becomes more entangled in Liana's world, she finds herself drawn to the one person she was never supposed to notice. The boundaries blur. The silences deepen. And the question of what's right becomes far more complicated than she ever imagined. My Other Books; Miss Blackwood Power, passion, and secrets.

Wretched Roses √
She gazed into her dark brown eyes with lust and pain. A rose as red as her tainted lips she'd put behind her ear, still holding it there, never wanting to let go. She put her forehead against hers as she whispered "You're just like a rose, beautiful but when you come too close you sting, not wanting others to see the pain behind your beauty. But you know what, I'm not scared, I won't give up on you no matter how much you make me bleed." She looked deep in thought, biting her lip and raising one of her eyebrows, and finally, she pressed her tainted lips against hers, letting their lips collide. They knew, that now, they would forever crave each others touch, they were in too deep. They'd fallen too hard. Never did they expect that their story wouldn't end there, and that years later they would be telling this exact story to none other than their own kids.

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...

pretty when you bleed
One fight. One detention. One queen bee with blood on her teeth. Laine Torren doesn't do friends. She doesn't do drama. She doesn't do Regina George. After being kicked out by her mother, Laine shows up in Evanston just weeks before senior year starts - black boots, sharp tongue, and a duffel bag full of silence. Living with her charming, manipulative older brother is bad enough. North Shore High? Worse. Then Regina George happens. She's still beautiful. Still terrifying. Still playing God with a smile. Their first meeting ends with a shove and a cracked lip. Their second earns them both Saturday detention. Their third? It's in a locked janitor's closet, breathing the same air. They hate each other. So why can't they stop? Secret hookups. Broken mirrors. Power plays. Obsession. Shame. Laine doesn't need anyone. Regina doesn't love girls. But need isn't a choice. And neither is the way Regina looks at her when no one's watching. This isn't a love story. It's a war with benefits.Complete
Coffee
I watch her when she walks in, orders the same drink - same size - and sits at the exact same table every single day. I don't think she notices me, seeing as how I'm behind the counter and I'm not the one at the register. But on December 19th, she looked up from her laptop and cup, into my eyes, and smiled. Before the start of senior year, Parker Harding was a closeted lesbian. After the homecoming dance, she was out and she was an outcast. She just had three little problems. Finding a girlfriend to get over her ex and keeping her economics grade up were two of them. The third being her crush on a very straight girl at her high school, the same one that sat in the coffee shop every single day. Parker thought Rebecca was everything she wanted, but people aren't always the way they seem.Complete

Guaranteed page turning fun till the very end. •Entered Wattys2020🤩 •Entered Wattys2021🤩 I can already hear the "that's bi-phobic" comments as a beginning bisexual in 2012. This was real life... this was my religious bisexual life experience. And I take pride in what I wrote here. Of fucking course religious bisexuals go "back and forth" in a homophobic era. You won't have to teach me wrong from right. I'm just sharing one experience to relate to other's similar experiences. We will not be silenced. 🏳️🌈❤️🔥Complete
