At twenty-five, Fiadh trades the quiet charm of her small Scottish hometown for the chaos and promise of Brooklyn, New York. Determined to make her dream life a reality she's armed with a suitcase, her best friend Lily, and a vow to find herself in the city that never sleeps.
Between late nights, bad decisions, and the lingering pull of an unspoken attraction, Fiadh's journey takes an unexpected turn when she lands a job at an elite architecture firm. Her boss, the enigmatic Ms. Arquette - bold, stern, beautiful and married; is everything Fiadh should avoid. But desire doesn't care about boundaries.
As sparks ignite in boardrooms and after-hours drinks blur the lines, Fiadh must decide: will she risk her hard-won fresh start for a woman with a cold heart and a dangerous secret? And will Ms. Arquette risk her empire for the quiet girl from Scotland who's stirring everything she's tried to keep buried?
This will be a fairly long slow burn but rest assured they will get together and I will not hold back.

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. ⚠️ Content / Trigger Warnings: (Please avoid reading if any of the following may affect you.)

Goda's Slave (Lesbian, Dystopia, LGBT Fantasy)
The daughter of a wealthy baron, Kanna Rava has enjoyed privilege far beyond that of most of her impoverished countrymen. Torn abruptly from that life by a twist of fate--and politics--she finds herself sold into slavery by the central government and thrust into the hands of Goda Brahm, the cold and mysterious woman who is tasked with escorting her to her new master. Barely over the culture shock of being dragged to the other side of the continent, into a world where women marry other women and a class of priestesses are worshiped like gods, Kanna slowly discovers both the hidden conspiracy that led to her enslavement and the terrible secret that lies behind Goda's icy demeanor. An allegory about free will, resisting fate, and being an outsider. (This description is for the Wattpad version of the story.
