Synopsis:
In the neon-lit city of Aurelia, where power is bought and love is dangerous, two women from opposite worlds collide.
Emilia "Emi" Ward, 23, is a fiery, sharp-tongued street artist scraping by on odd jobs and rebellion. She lives for freedom, chaos, and color, painting the city's walls with messages of defiance. Beneath her wild laughter lies a past she refuses to confront-a broken family, a bitter mother, and a secret that could destroy her.
Dr. Selene Voss, 35, is a calculating, cold, and devastatingly elegant CEO of VossTech, a tech empire that controls half the city. To outsiders, she's untouchable perfection. Behind closed doors, she's a woman chained by grief, ruthless ambition, and enemies lurking in the shadows. She swore never to love again after a tragedy left her heart buried under ice.
When Emi's graffiti accidentally exposes one of VossTech's darkest secrets, Selene should crush her like an insect. Instead, she finds herself irritated, intrigued... and undeniably drawn to her. Emi, who despises authority, sees Selene as everything she hates-until a crack appears in Selene's icy façade, revealing a woman just as broken as herself.
As their worlds entwine, passion ignites amid family betrayals, corporate conspiracies, and the ghosts of their pasts. With Selene's enemies closing in and Emi's recklessness threatening everything, their love becomes both their salvation and their greatest danger.
But when loyalty is tested and lies unravel, they must decide: Are they willing to burn the world down to stay together-or will they destroy each other first?

Spilled Red [ 18+ ]
She hired Dahlia to take care of her kids. Not to crawl under her skin, not to make her feel again, and most certainly not to fall in love with her. Scarlett Romano, mother of two. A woman carved from ice. Cold, powerful, ruthless, and engaged to a woman who looks perfect on paper. A decision made for the sake of legacy, image, and the future of her children. Love? That's a luxury she gave up a long time ago. But then, Dahlia shows up like a crack in her perfect foundation. She's soft where Scarlett isn't. Bright where Scarlett is guarded. Her children have learned to adore her. And Scarlett- despite herself, begins to crave her. To need her. But Dahlia? Dahlia is breaking. She's unraveling. Because she was never meant to belong here. She isn't who she claims to be. She didn't take the nanny job for the paycheck, or the kids. She took it because her father is holding her brother's life over her head. She's not a nanny, she's bait. A spy. A pawn in a game she doesn't want to play. Planted inside Scarlett's home to find weakness, to expose secrets, and burn it all from the inside out. What she didn't expect was the warmth of the children. She didn't expect them to start feeling like hers. She didn't expect Scarlett's rare, shattering softness. And she sure of hell didn't expect to fall in love with the woman she was sent to ruin. Now, Dahlia's caught between two impossible choices. Between the family she's beginning to love...and the family she's so desperate to save. And if the truth ever comes out. She won't just lose her job. It won't just break hearts. It'll ruin everything.
The space between
She's not the woman she thought she was - not the calm, controlled one. Torn between the weight of her mistakes and the pain of what's been taken from her, she's spiraling through anger, heartbreak, and a desperate need to be seen. This isn't about perfect love or clean endings. It's about the messy, real battle inside a woman who's learning to face her darkest truths... and maybe, just maybe, find a way back to herself. No apologies. No filter. Just Angela.
Concrete Hearts
She builds dreams. She calculates risks. But neither of them were ready for each other. Lingling Zhao is a 35-year-old structural engineer-sharp, stoic, and openly lesbian in a male-dominated world. She's known for being cold, calculated, and brutally precise. She doesn't do small talk, and she definitely doesn't do distractions. Enter Orm van Vliet, a 29-year-old rising star architect with big ideas, a bigger ego, and a stubborn belief that she's straight. She's bold, creative, and never backs down from a challenge-not even one as infuriating and irresistible as Lingling Zhao. Assigned as co-leads on the biggest eco-architecture project in the Netherlands, what begins as a professional rivalry quickly spirals into something more obsessive. Late nights become lingering glances. Arguments become foreplay. And Orm's certainty about who she is starts to crack under the weight of everything Lingling awakens in her. Love. Hate. Desire. Fear. Some structures are meant to collapse-so better ones can rise.Concluida

In Amber and Skin [wlw]
Lena is caught between the expectations of her family and the life she longs to live. In Selene, she finds something rare-someone who feels like a quiet refuge from the chaos, a steady presence in a world that's anything but. In a sunlit studio steeped in pigment and silence, as their bond deepens, Lena begins to confront the tension between what she's been taught to want and what she truly needs. In Selene, she discovers not just safety, but something far more complicated-and far more real. What begins as study becomes something stranger, tender, charged. And in the quiet space between canvas and skin, both women begin to unravel. A story of art, ache, and the exquisite undoing that happens when we dare to be seen.Concluida

The Immune
The Immune When the world falls to vampires, Selene discovers she is neither prey nor savior-she is poison. Bitten in the first wave, she should have turned.
