Not Like That (WLW)
Lenny Shephard is nineteen, difficult, and used to keeping everyone at a distance. Imogen Hayes is twenty four, her sixth form philosophy teacher, and knows exactly where the lines are.

Not Like That is a slow burn WLW story about wrong timing, impossible choices, and finding the courage to say the things you mean. Has been: #1 girlslovinggirls #1 womanxwoman *Domestic violence referenced.* *Some stories in this genre explore possessive dynamics, many readers enjoy those stories, which is a valid personal choice.

Falling In Love (GxG, TxS)
Isabella had always lived between two worlds. Born in Italy, she grew up surrounded by loud summers, warm nights, and a language that felt like music. At 13, she moved to England, where she learned to start over and rebuild her life without losing the parts of herself she refused to let go. Now 20, she was stepping into her first year at university in London, uncertain but determined. By night, she was the voice of a band playing small venues and crowded bars, creating something bigger than themselves. People saw her as outgoing, creative, and easy to talk to, but Isabella knew there was more to her than what others saw. In the quiet moments, between unfinished thoughts and songs she used to speak what words couldn't, she was still figuring out who she was becoming. Catherine was the kind of woman people rarely forgot, though few ever truly knew her. At 36, she moved through life with quiet control, carrying herself in a way that made spaces feel more ordered in her presence. To her students at the Medical University of London, she was distant, strict, and unreadable. They called her cold, and they weren't entirely wrong. She didn't waste words or offer warmth freely. It was safer that way. Before teaching, there had been years in ICU wards where decisions were made in seconds and carried forever. Though she left that life behind, it never fully left her. Still, in quiet moments, early walks with Sam, books left open on the sofa, something softer lingered beneath her restraint. People assumed she didn't feel deeply. They were wrong. Catherine felt everything, she simply chose not to show it. What happens when two lives built on opposite rules begin to drift toward the same point? They are not meant to intersect, but when they finally do, briefly, impossibly, it feels less like coincidence and more like something already in motion, something neither of them knows how to stopComplete

Loving Solomon

Olivia Valentine- Saint to the few who get close-is soft-spoken, steady, and guarded for good reason. A second-year psychology professor with a gentle way of holding space, she's spent years keeping her life quiet, controlled, untouched. She doesn't let people in easily-not anymore. They are not looking for each other. But the pull is quiet. Unmistakable. Safe, but unfamiliar. Like recognizing something you've never had but always needed. What begins in silence becomes something neither of them expected-a slow, careful unraveling. A story of restraint, trust, and healing the parts of ourselves we never knew how to name. Loving Solomon is a tender, slow-burn WLW romance about two women who've always held themselves together... and what it means to finally let someone in.

Her True Desire
"You said it was over between you and him!" - the blue-eyed woman cried out through her tears, looking straight into dark, hazel eyes of the older woman standing in front of her. "You know it's not that simple-damn it, you knew it wouldn't be!" - older women replied, raising her voice at the younger one, immediately regretting that she had raised her voice at Lily. She clenched her jaw, clutching the bridge of her nose, and then added, "Gosh, Lily, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have- "Stop calling me like that, for fuck's sake!" - The younger one interrupted her, and tears began to well up in her eyes, she took a deep breath, and the woman in front of her looked down at the floor. Then Lillian added, "You lied to me. You manipulated me by promising me so many things, I-" She stopped suddenly, and her voice shifted from sobbing to anger "I fucking hate you!" ___________ They hate each other, don't they? Come with me and you'll find out. ~L. Walkers
𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖
Lucia Bellandi has always been certain of who she is. At twenty, her life is comfortable, predictable, and carefully uncomplicated. She has her friends, her university classes, her part time job, and a future she has never had much reason to question. Then she meets Professor Vivienne Marrow. Cold, intimidating, impossibly composed, and far too observant, Vivienne is the kind of woman Lucia should have no reason to think about once she leaves the seminar room. Except she does. At first, Lucia tells herself it's admiration. Vivienne is intelligent, confident, and everything Lucia wishes she could be. The strange feeling in her chest must mean nothing more than nerves. But the more often their paths cross, the harder it becomes to ignore the questions Lucia has spent her entire life avoiding. Because sometimes discovering who you are means questioning everything you thought you already knew. And sometimes the person who makes you question it is the one person you were never supposed to want.

Just distance...and silence. Now, Annabelle has built something new in New York. A life that finally feels right. Alongside Lucy and Juliet, she's carved a future far removed from the chaos she left behind-working in child protective services, fighting every day to give vulnerable children the safety she once struggled to find herself.
