At Oakwood University, love moves fast and ends faster.
Aziyah and Kenya were that couple: loud, loyal, and impossible to miss.. until pride pulled them apart. Kenya found comfort in Imani, and Aziyah in Laila, both unaware they were tangled in the same messy web.
When secrets surface and exes start circling back, the four girls find themselves trapped between heartbreak, jealousy, and something unexpectedly real.
It's not just about who said "I love you" first, it's about the way she said her name.
A college WLW story full of drama, humor, and the chaos of falling for the wrong people... and maybe the right ones too.

Ms Chambers
A slow-burn WLW dark romance exploring the blurred lines between power, desire, and identity. When Naomi Bennett returns from a year abroad, she's ready to start fresh - new course, new friends, new version of herself. 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. Because some lessons don't stay in the classroom. β οΈ Content / Trigger Warnings: (Please avoid reading if any of the following may affect you.)

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
