The Group for Those Who love Sex a Little Too Much. (If that can be a thing)
Cassie: A gorgeous critic allergic to commitment. Roman: A devastatingly handsome loaded tornado of trouble. Their problem? They love love. And sex. And the idea of love and sex. Just not with the same person. Twice.
Their therapists' brilliant solution? Throw them into a support group for sex addicts. What could go wrong?
Now, surrounded by people trying to quit the chase, these two are trying to win it. It's less "healing" and more "the world's most inappropriate speed-dating event." Between debates on the emotional baggage of breakfast cereal and the proper way to seduce someone during a share-session, they might just discover the one thing more terrifying than intimacy: catching feelings.
**They went to a meeting to quit their addiction. Instead, they found their favorite new habit.**

Parallel Lines
Some people only cross your path once. Others keep showing up when it hurts the most. Martina had it all figured out-her work, her walls, her carefully controlled heart. Until Jo walked in: reckless, magnetic, and absolutely off-limits. Over the course of nine years, their lives intertwine in the most unexpected, inconvenient, and unforgettable ways. What started as a harmless dare spirals into late-night confessions, breathless moments, and a longing Martina swore she'd buried. But timing is cruel. So are the choices they make. As the years go by, their connection only grows stronger... and more impossible. What happens when desire isn't enough? When love comes too late-or maybe just in time? A slow-burn sapphic story of longing, misalignment, and the one person you never stop wanting. Will they ever get it right?Complete
You, Unexpectedly
Maya never felt like she belonged in loud, crowded places, but one impulsive night at a club changes everything. What was supposed to be just another awkward outing takes an unexpected turn when a bartender-cool, detached, yet strangely attentive-steps in at just the right moment. It should have ended there, a fleeting encounter lost in the blur of city nights. But fate has a way of pulling people together when they least expect it. As Maya navigates the challenges of university and self-discovery, her world keeps colliding with his in ways she can't explain. And the more it happens, the harder it is to ignore the question lingering in the back of her mind-was their meeting really just a coincidence? A slow-burn rom-com with a touch of drama, "You, Unexpectedly" is a story of unexpected connections, fleeting moments that leave a mark, and the mystery of the people who change us without warning.Complete
Love At First Text ✔️
Being a hopeless romantic has never faired Eden Holland well. For all her expectations of being swept off of her feet, to public declarations of love and swoon worthy date nights beneath the stars, she's suffered only broken hearts, failed first dates, and a long list of let downs. Still, she dreams of her own cliche love story, and when an exchange of texts begins with the nameless man she saw at a bar, she is quick to fall head over heels. Sebastian Walker is a charmer, and he knows it. He has been since his teen years, when he spent most of his time flashing a pearly grin at the girls in the corridor, splashing on dates every other week, and letting them down easy and gentle. He hasn't changed much, and for all of his weekends spent tangled in a different girls bedsheets, he's still never called one back the next morning. Yet, when he's left a mystery girls number in a bar, and her replies are nothing short of uninterested, he cannot help but press send. But is it love at first text, or will the serial dater and the love story singleton be a recipe for disaster? --- #2 in mature, slow burn This book can be read as a stand alone, but character cross overs occur from my first and second book, 'Mr and Mrs Nemesis' and 'In Drunken Matrimony' respectively. Buckle up for the cliches, foul language, and the stuff that means I have to rate this book mature.Complete
Warner Park (SAMPLE)
Lights, secrets, and second chances. A slow burn MM romance set in the heart of Los Angeles. Andrew // Starting over in Los Angeles wasn't supposed to be easy, but I didn't expect it to feel this lonely either. I left everything behind in Alaska to build something real-a yoga studio, a fresh start, maybe even a version of myself I can finally like. Then I meet Vincent Vickers. He's charming, quick-witted, and hiding more than he lets on. I tell myself it's just a job, just a temporary connection. But the longer I'm around him, the harder it is to remember what I'm running from. Or why I ever thought I could keep my heart out of it. Vince // I know how to play the part. Smile for the cameras, hit my marks, pretend everything's fine. But when Andrew walks into my life, quiet and sincere and nothing like the chaos I'm used to, the script starts to fall apart. He sees through the performance, straight into the parts of me I've kept off-screen. And for the first time, I start to wonder if real love could be more than just another scene in my life. 📖 Part of the Warner Park Collection The Bad Idea is part of the Warner Park Collection, a set of interconnected romances set in Los Angeles.

Brie and Claire
"You have secrets." "I do not." "Yes you do, and I'm going to find out what they are." Claire finds herself joining Brie on an unexpected journey, one that she had never imagined to be a part of, when all she was expecting was a boring roommate. Her mundane life from working at a thrift store changes dramatically, when her path collides with Brie's. The two hadn't met since freshman year of high school, and hadn't realised how different they each were from their teenage selves. How their ambitions, passions, and stories had changed, and what life had in hold for the two. Claire, an exceptionally gifted artist, was always eager to put her skills to use. The question is, would she still want to, if she was to rob a gallery. And as for Brie, her story couldn't possibly be put into a single sentence. Are they fearless enough to face the malice of the world? Are they desperate enough to pull off a heist? Are they insatiable enough to fall in love? Ranks: #17 in heist Note: Not just all the characters, but most places like the museum and town in which the story takes place, the painting and artist are all fictional. Note 2: This is a slowburn, do not read if you don't have the patience for it Note 3: WAY too many descriptions of the sky but that's what you get from an author obsessed with sunsets Themes of sexuality, homophobia, mental health/disorders, eating disorders and addiction Credits to @LoonyGlitch for the book coverComplete

The Space in Between
*** New chapter every Thursday ! *** None of them meant to hurt each other. That's the part people forget about slow-burning disasters, they don't begin with betrayal. They begin with kindness. With glances held a second too long. With private jokes that start feeling more like confessions. With one moment that could have meant nothing, and instead, meant everything. They were four people who once shared everything: the same group chat, the same half-formed dreams, the same late nights on rooftops and in lecture halls, talking about who they might become. And then the lines blurred. Someone kissed someone they shouldn't have. Someone stayed silent when it mattered most. Someone joked instead of admitting what they felt. And someone kept everyone else emotionally afloat while quietly sinking. There was no fight. No scandal. Just a slow drift into emotional ambiguity, a friendship that eroded in glances, apologies, and timing that never aligned. Now, years later, they've been asked to build an art exhibit together. The theme? Memory. It's poetic, in a cruel way. They're supposed to create something honest while still pretending they've moved on. But the truth is still there, buried beneath words unsaid, under a kiss that shouldn't have happened, inside jokes that now sting, and a friendship that still aches. This isn't a love story. This is what came after. This is the space in between.
