As Manhattan's most feared criminal defense attorney, Valentina Pierce doesn't lose-cases, control, or composure. Her life is built on unbreakable rules and airtight boundaries, all designed to keep her one step ahead of chaos.

Then Emery Vale walks into her office.

The brilliant and scandal-shrouded tech CEO is facing a federal indictment that could destroy her empire. She's arrogant, reckless, and entirely too comfortable breaking rules. Valentina knows better than to get close-but Emery makes resistance feel like weakness.

What starts as strategy meetings and legal briefs turns into late nights, charged glances, and a battle of wills neither woman is prepared to lose. Valentina is used to dominating the courtroom-but with Emery, every glance is a dare, every touch a negotiation.

Beyond the Lesson (TXS) (GXG) by OhShesGay

Talia Kingston is an 18 year old senior in her high school. She's top of her class and captain of her basketball team. When she's introduced to a stunning new teacher who immediately gives her detention upon first meeting, how will their unconventional story unfold with exes, jealousy, and the fear of getting caught on their unlikely affair? "Because I dreamt about doing the most extraordinary things to you and most of them involved me having you bent over your desk." I hear her suck in a breath and then she looks at me. "Talia." I smirk. "But I have to go now so I'll see you in class, Ms. Romano."

Behind the Letters by Shritzy

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.

𝐒𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐍 [WLW] 𝟏𝟖+ by aki1xluvv

Veronika Koroleva Petrovna-Moscow's untouchable queen. The wealthiest, most powerful woman in Russia. A name that drips with arrogance, feared as much as it is revered. With a single glance, she ensnares. A presence so sharp it cuts. To her, people are nothing but pawns-disposable, forgettable, irrelevant. Trust is a currency too expensive to waste. Loneliness is not a curse; it is a necessity. No parents, no attachments, no weaknesses. Begging? Pleading? Nyet. That is beneath her. Luciana "La Reina" Monteserra-Madrid's deadliest shadow. A queen of ruin and carnage, cloaked in elegance. Cold. Calculating. Lacking even the pretense of empathy. She does not ask. She takes. What she touches, she owns. What she claims, she keeps. No one defies her. No one escapes her grasp. But Veronika? Veronika was the exception. The one thing she could never own.

Claiming Her Desire by Nightbound99

Elise Malano is a sharp-tongued, no-nonsense journalist with zero patience for the ultra-wealthy. She's spent her career exposing the cracks beneath polished facades, refusing to be dazzled by money and power. When she's assigned an exclusive feature on Kara Comananche-the elusive billionaire CEO of Comananche Enterprises-she expects the usual: cold arrogance, rehearsed answers, and an impenetrable wall of wealth and privilege. What she doesn't expect is Kara herself. Commanding. Calculated. Magnetic. From the moment they meet, sparks fly-but not the romantic kind. Kara is unimpressed by Elise's skepticism, and Elise refuses to be intimidated by Kara's effortless power. Their conversations are a battle of wills, filled with tension sharp enough to cut. But when Kara challenges Elise to shadow her for a week, giving her a rare glimpse into her world, the lines between journalist and subject, intrigue and desire, power and vulnerability begin to blur. As Elise peels back the layers of Kara's carefully constructed empire, she finds herself drawn to the woman beneath the headlines-the one who never lets anyone close. But with the weight of the story pressing down on her and Kara's guarded nature keeping her at arm's length, Elise must decide: is she willing to risk everything for the truth? Or is she falling for the one person she swore she'd never let in?

HER PROMISE (MAFIA GXG) 18+ by Tziporarosen

Caterina gave a small, amused hum, flipping a page of her magazine as though unfazed. "You'd be hotter if you weren't so mean." "And you'd be hotter if you cut the fucking attitude," Celine shot back, her voice dropping as she leaned closer, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "Before I fuck it out of you." When Celine crosses paths with Caterina, the daughter of a powerful mafia boss, she expects a quick and simple plan to settle an old score. What she doesn't anticipate is Caterina's audacious counteroffer: a marriage of convenience that will grant Celine access she can not decline. Their uneasy alliance is fraught with tension-both the fiery, physical kind and the sharp clash of wills that comes from two women with their own dark pasts and hidden agendas. As they step into a world of wealth, deception, and ruthless ambition, their plan teeters on the edge of chaos, with one question looming large: Can they trust each other long enough to survive? Will they pull off the ultimate betrayal-or will their fragile bond bring everything crashing down?
