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.All Rights Reserved

The temptation thesis by woman_haramrtia

When Esmerelda Harlow steps into the musty halls of Winston High as the new history teacher. With a reputation for being sharp, unyielding, and almost impossibly brilliant, whispers of her arrival ripple through the school. Students are wary, teachers are impressed, and troublemaker Cameron Monroe is intrigued. Cameron, the school's untouchable rebel with a reputation for detention slips and smirks, with a game of breaking every teacher who's tried to tame her. To her, Esmerelda Harlow is just another target-a seemingly uptight woman with strict rules and an aura of authority begging to be challenged. But when Cameron tries her usual antics, she's met with something entirely unexpected: resistance. Esmerelda is not an easy mark. In fact, she's more than Cameron bargained for. Cool-headed and razor-sharp, Esmerelda cuts through Cameron's bravado with surgical precision. Every sarcastic remark is met with calm but devastating wit. Every act of defiance earns a punishment so perfectly tailored, it leaves Cameron seething-and strangely fascinated. What begins as a battle of wills quickly turns into something more dangerous. Esmerelda sees through Cameron's rebellious exterior to the brilliant, restless mind beneath it. Cameron, for all her bravado, finds herself caught in Esmerelda's gravitational pull-her intelligence, her poise, and her mysterious charm. But Esmerelda isn't here to play games. She's here to teach Cameron a lesson she'll never forget, one that will leave them both questioning the boundaries of power, desire, and control. In the end, it's not just Cameron's life that Esmerelda will upend-it's her own. In a town where reputations are everything, what happens when two unstoppable forces collide in a battle of rebellion and resolve?
