Gabby didn't come to Stoneybrook to make friends-especially not with girls like Mary Anne Spier. Too careful, too neat, too exactly-the-opposite-of-Gabby. But something about the way Mary Anne watches her-with quiet curiosity, not judgment-pulls Gabby in before she can stop it.
Mary Anne notices things. Always has. But she doesn't understand why she keeps noticing Gabby. The new girl with the sharp eyes and sketchbook full of secrets. The girl who seems like she's fine being alone-until she's not.
What starts as lingering glances and soft exchanges turns into something neither of them expected. In the hush between words and the spaces they create for each other, a bond begins to form-tentative, electric, and maybe more than just friendship.

Drowning Desires
Maura Leighton has a dark secret from her home city that she is running away from. She moved to a small town in hopes no one would recognise her there, that she could put the past behind her. Maura only wants to get through the rest of the school year without complications, but when you are the new kid at school, everyone has their eye on you, figuring you out. Adrien Rayne suffered through the worst school break imaginable, once he returned home he is hoping to be able to quietly put it in the back of his mind and carry on with school, though that turns out harder than he thought when he discovers the girl who turned his break into hell had moved to his school. And he knew her dark secret. Maura and Adrien spend the last half of their senior school year battling darkness from both their present and past. What makes it difficult is when they merge into one. It becomes even harder when the two have an undoubted sexual connection that they can't ignore no matter how hard they try, even when they know how wrong they are for each other. • • • Suddenly there was a large tug on the back of my head, someone had yanked my ponytail. I spun around as much as I could, their grip was strong on my hair. I saw my brown hair in a tight grip, I trailed my eyes up a male's tattooed arm towards a pair of dark grey eyes, his eyelids were red and puffy, as if he had been crying, or he was high. His face was set in a glare, his dark hair, messy, as if all he had done to get ready was shake his head around. It was the guy, Adrien, who was separated from Riley's group. He was tall. I was average height, maybe even slightly above average but Adrien towered over me, I had to look up at him. "What fucking right do you have to come to his school." Adrien snarled. He knew. I didn't know him though. • • • warnings: mature themes and violence, drug abuse, mentions of overdose, mentions of sexual assaultComplete

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.)

But in a school where reputations rule, can two girls from opposite ends of the social spectrum figure out how to be honest about what they feel - and who they're becoming?
WHEN DID YOU GET HOT? | KYLIA

Eun Jae, on the other hand, had been raised with strong values of hard work and respect, always striving for what he wanted with the support of his own loving parents. They had taught him to be diligent and responsible, and their unwavering presence in his life had created a bond of trust and understanding that he held dear. But Nerin was different. She wasn't tied to any expectations or pressures-she seemed to float through life with ease, a carefree confidence that Eun Jae couldn't help but be drawn to. Without even realizing it, his heart had slowly been captured by her charm, her mystery, and the light she brought into his life.
