In which the popular boy attempts to use an exchange student to make his ex girlfriend jealous, but his ex ends up (fake) dating the exchange student instead. - After nearly three years of breaking and making up with her ex-boyfriend, all that Silena Valentine wants is some peace and quiet. Instead, she gets Mena Skelin- a handful of a temporary roommate, whose otherwise extensive vocabulary doesn't seem to include either of those words. Soon enough, Silena finds herself volunteering to do things she never would have even imagined: like kissing someone in front of the entire school, and catching very real feelings for her very fake girlfriend. And the latter kind of sucks, since she's pretty certain that Mena is only doing this in order to get revenge at the boy she actually likes. But then again, everything isn't always what it looks like.Complete

She moved across the country to start over. She didn't expect to find the one person she never truly left behind. Rowan Blake thought she'd buried the past. After leaving her small hometown for a fresh start, she's finally finding her footing... alone in a new city, chasing a new career, and enrolled in a graduate program that promises to keep her too busy to look back. But on the first day of class, the past walks in wearing a blazer and heels. Dr. Sienna Ward. Her high school teacher. Her secret first love. And now-her professor. Years have passed, but the connection between them is impossible to ignore. What begins as cautious small talk becomes something deeper, something dangerous. As old feelings resurface and new boundaries blur, Rowan and Sienna are pulled into a slow-burn, high-stakes romance that neither of them can afford... and neither of them wants to let go. Some flames never go out. Some lines were meant to be crossed.
Ms Chambers
A slow-burn WLW dark romance exploring the blurred lines between power, desire, and identity.

Psychology was never part of the plan, but it's hers now... even if her parents still wish she'd studied law instead. Then comes Ms Chambers. Beautiful. Unreadable. Dangerous in ways Naomi can't quite put into words. A woman who owns every room she walks into - including the lecture hall. Naomi doesn't like her. She's too confident. Too composed. Too... something. But for someone she supposedly can't stand, Ms Chambers is increasingly hard to ignore. The tension is quiet, precise - threaded through loaded glances and careful silences. It's just in Naomi's head. Isn't it? As boundaries blur and obsession simmers beneath the surface, Naomi begins to question everything - what she wants, what she knows, and who she really is beneath the version of herself she's always performed.
