FRAMED IN LIGHT
"Framed in Light" She photographs the world to stay invisible. She dominates it to be seen. Zainab "Zee" Lawal is a Nigerian photographer hiding behind her lens and the shadows of her past.

Elena is the golden girl of Canadian basketball: fierce, famous, and raised by two dads who taught her to never apologize for who she is. When a branding deal brings her to Zee's studio, sparks fly - the kind that make silence louder, the kind that leave fingerprints. But when the world begins to notice what they're trying so hard to deny, both women must decide: hide behind the frame, or finally step into the light. A slowburn sapphic love story about art, legacy, fear, and falling in love with someone who sees the parts of you you've tried to forget. 🏳️🌈📸🏀Complete

Walls get built faster than gardens, but Syre knows better than to rush a woman who's been hurt. Through stubborn arguments, soft smiles, stolen kisses, and one unforgettable night, Kalen and Syre discover what the old folks always said was true: Love ain't always sweet, Growth ain't always pretty, and hoein' - in the garden, in life, or in love - sure as hell ain't easy.

Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent.

Francesca Grey thought she'd finally escaped the perfect little town that never really knew her. Three years in Los Angeles taught her how to breathe again - how to be invisible, free, and entirely her own. But when an invitation arrives for her father's wedding - to a twenty-one-year-old woman she's never met - Frankie finds herself driving back toward the life she swore she'd left behind. What she doesn't expect is for the return to stir everything she thought she'd buried - memories of her mother, the weight of who she used to be, and the quiet ache of belonging she's never quite found. And then there's her. Someone unexpected. Someone who sees her in the way the town never could - not as who she was, but who she might still become. In a town where every face remembers her past, Frankie must decide whether home is a place she escaped... or a person she's just beginning to know.
