26 parts Complete 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.
