Evelyn Grace has always lived a quiet life-discreet, dependable, and tucked behind the scenes as a maid in one of the country's most powerful households. Her world is all routines and responsibilities... until she crosses paths with Celeste Valtore, the elusive heiress-turned-CEO with a reputation as icy as her fortune is vast.
Celeste is everything Evelyn isn't-composed, untouchable, and painfully alone beneath the surface. What begins as a professional boundary slowly blurs into unexpected connection: quiet conversations after midnight, shared glances that linger too long, and moments of vulnerability neither of them expected-or know how to handle.
In a world where appearances mean everything and love between two women is still whispered behind closed doors, Evelyn must choose between safety and feeling seen for the first time. And Celeste, who has spent her life behind emotional armor, must ask herself: is she willing to risk everything for a love that doesn't fit the mold she was raised to protect?
"Between Duty and Desire" is a tender, slow-burning GL romance about longing, choice, and what it really means to be free-not just from expectation, but from fear.

He was fire and she played with it... amidst the growing tension of family secrets between father and son, and the risky health of her employer. But when the heated moments are no longer just moments, and the forbidden actions don't feel so forbidden, Olivia must decide how long she can play this game to keep her job, as wounds start to open, secrets start to spill and danger comes to light.Kumpleto

Or will his dark obsession consume her, body and soul? 🔥 OBSESSED BILLIONAIRE BOSS | FORCED MARRIAGE | GRUMPY SUNSHINE | SLOW BURN SPICE 🔥Kumpleto

Genre: Thai GL, Romance, Drama, Slow Burn, Angst to Comfort Pairing: June Anongrat (ordinary, self-made, principled) × Enjoy Velaris (secretive heiress, vulnerable under the glamour) ••••••••• June is a small-town girl who lands an internship at one of Thailand's most powerful conglomerates. She's smart, passionate, and not easily swayed by wealth. What she doesn't know is that the beautiful woman who keeps silently observing her from the executive floor is none other than Enjoy - the mysterious heiress of the company, known publicly only as the "ghost chairwoman" because she rarely appears in the media. Enjoy lives in a golden cage - rich, admired, but deeply lonely. She's never known love without conditions. That changes when she meets June, who treats her like a human, not a headline. But dating a billionaire isn't easy - not with bodyguards, scandals, arranged fiancées, and a powerful family who expects Enjoy to marry a man for business. And June? She has secrets of her own - like a sick mother and her father's debts that could ruin everything if exposed. What does it take to love someone who lives in a world you were never meant to enter? Maybe... everything. •••• June stood frozen in the elevator as the doors slid shut. "You know," said a soft voice beside her, "most people try to impress me." June turned slowly. The woman beside her - sharp heels, black satin suit, and piercing gaze - looked like she owned the universe. "I'm not most people," June said. "That's what makes you dangerous," Enjoy whispered. "And maybe the only person who could ever break me."Kumpleto
