Ms Chambers
A slow-burn WLW dark romance exploring the blurred lines between power, desire, and identity. When Naomi Bennett returns from a year abroad, she's ready to start fresh - new course, new friends, new version of herself. Psychology was never part of the plan, but it's hers now... even if her parents still wish she'd studied law instead. Then comes Ms Chambers. Beautiful. Unreadable. Dangerous in ways Naomi can't quite put into words. A woman who owns every room she walks into - including the lecture hall. Naomi doesn't like her. She's too confident. Too composed. Too... something. But for someone she supposedly can't stand, Ms Chambers is increasingly hard to ignore. The tension is quiet, precise - threaded through loaded glances and careful silences. It's just in Naomi's head. Isn't it? As boundaries blur and obsession simmers beneath the surface, Naomi begins to question everything - what she wants, what she knows, and who she really is beneath the version of herself she's always performed. Because some lessons don't stay in the classroom. ⚠️ Content / Trigger Warnings: (Please avoid reading if any of the following may affect you.)

Their connection is instant yet layered-filled with playful teasing, deep conversations, and an undeniable attraction. As Grace settles into Portland, her interactions with Evelyn challenge her in ways she didn't expect. Through moments of joy, vulnerability, and growth, she begins to understand what it truly means to love and be loved. But as she unpacks her past, will she allow herself to fully embrace this new chapter with Evelyn? Or will her fears of attachment and rejection hold her back?
Unwritten
Dr. Danielle Stevens doesn't do vulnerability. At twenty-nine, she's earned her place at the front of the lecture hall-sharp, composed, and untouchable. Her past is buried under layers of dark clothes, academic acclaim, and the rules she never dares to break. Until Alexandria Johnson walks into her classroom. Alex is everything Danielle tries to avoid-fiery, unpredictable, and disarmingly perceptive. At twenty-four, she's a graduate student with a tragic past, a fearless voice, and a habit of challenging authority. Including hers. What begins as subtle tension-glances held too long, words layered with meaning-spirals into something neither of them can ignore. But desire this dangerous comes at a cost. And some stories were never meant to be written. A slow-burn sapphic romance about power, restraint, and the pull of the one person who sees right through you.Terminé
