"Butterflies At The Bookstore"
In a quiet town where days pass softly and bookstores still feel like magic, two strangers cross paths on a rainy afternoon. Sienna - gentle, guarded, and quietly carrying years of independence - meets Jesse, a bold and kind-hearted soul with a story of her own.
What starts as a moment - a shared glance over a bookshelf - slowly unfolds into something neither of them saw coming: comfort, vulnerability, and the kind of connection that feels like home.
Through late-night texts, shared stories under a tree, and the soft warmth of borrowed jackets, When We Were Strangers is a tender story of two women learning how to be seen, how to love, and how to let someone in.
Perfect for fans of slow-burn sapphic romance, cozy settings, and characters who feel heartbreakingly real.All Rights Reserved

Iridescent Series #1: Iridescent Hearts by bleumingg

Sienna Maxine Soriano paints sunsets because they never last. Elijah Soren Dominguez once promised her that they would. Sienna has always found solace in sunsets-painting skies in colors she can't put into words. For as long as she can remember, her rooftop has been her safe place, the one corner of the world that feels like hers alone. Until it wasn't. Because it was also his. As kids, they built their world on a rooftop-trading secrets, laughter, and forever vows whispered against golden skies. But dreams have a way of pulling people apart. Elijah left for the city to chase ambition. Sienna stayed behind, clinging to brushes and canvases that carried his shadow. Distance stretched thin what once felt unbreakable. Silence replaced words. And the rooftop, once their forever, was left waiting. Now Elijah has returned. The rooftop feels the same, but they aren't. Sienna has guarded her heart, afraid of breaking all over again. Elijah carries regrets and the quiet truth that no matter where he went, she was always home. Told in two timelines-Before, golden hours painted in laughter and unshakable promises, and After, a reunion wrapped in longing and what-ifs-their story unfolds with the ache of what was, and the fragile hope of what could be. At eighteen, they learned how to dream. At twenty-one, they must learn how to let go. And somewhere between those skies, they discover that some love stories don't really end- They just wait for their time. For readers who love: •Childhood friends to lovers •Slowburn romances that ache and heal •Bittersweet reunions + second chances •Rooftops, sunsets, and painted skies •Endings that aren't goodbye, but a quiet "not yet" "Some sunsets don't mean the end-just a promise to return."

Her Hands, My Home by sugarchqrry

At nineteen, all she knows is chaos-broken nights, heavy thoughts, and the feeling of being lost in a world that demands too much. Love was never something she believed she deserved... until she met her. She's twenty-four, steady where the younger girl is restless, and gentle where the world has been cruel. What starts as a spark of comfort turns into something undeniable-something neither of them expected, but both of them need. Between late-night talks, stolen glances, and the quiet safety of a touch that feels like home, they find themselves crossing lines that once felt impossible. But with years, fears, and the weight of judgment standing in their way, they'll have to fight not just for each other, but for the right to love at all. Sometimes home isn't a place. Sometimes it's the hands that finally hold you without letting go.

Chasing The Ruins by riyeeei

Heart Lessons (WlW) by Shritzy

Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart. Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions. Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again. Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller. What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over. A slow-burn, small-town romantic comedy about second chances, messy mornings, and discovering that the best lessons aren't always taught in classrooms.
