She married his name, but loved his sister.
In the cold, fog-wrapped halls of 1500s England, Clementine Ashdown is a bride made of porcelain and quiet rebellion - bound by duty to Lord Dorian Thorne, a man who values alliance over affection. Their marriage is a bargain struck between power and fear, sealed within a manor where secrets breathe through the walls.
But Clementine hides a forbidden truth.
Her heart belongs not to her husband... but to Lady Evangeline Thorne, his haunted, beautiful sister.
Evangeline is everything Clementine was never allowed to want - dark, tender, and quietly defiant. Together, they carve out a hidden world of candlelight and trembling hands, their love whispered through secret letters tucked behind books and beneath candleholders.
As their words grow bolder, the shadows around them stir. Rumors bloom. The house begins to watch. And when Lord Dorian's suspicions ignite, passion turns perilous.
Now Clementine must choose:
Silence and survival... or a love that could ruin them both.

Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

Saving Grace
In Northvale, Vermont, appearances are everything-and silence is safer than truth. Riley swore she'd never go back. After Grace ghosted her the week she left, after the countless moments under the train bridge where Riley told her best friend, Grace, that she loved her, and Grace said nothing. She moved weeks later and never heard from Grace again. Northvale became a place Riley only carried in memory-a place that hurt. Years later, Riley is building a life far from it all in Chicago. But when something deep and unnamed pulls her back, she finds herself standing once again in the town that made her feel small. And standing face-to-face with Grace Whitmore's parents-who, with haunting familiarity, invite her to stay in Grace's house. The place where she practically grew up. Grace has spent the last seven years trying to forget. Forget how she froze. Forget how she let Riley leave. Forget who she really was before the expectations of her family, her church, and her town hardened into something unrecognizable. Riley's return threatens all of it. As the two women are forced to navigate a shared home, buried feelings resurface-and so do the forces that drove them apart. In a town that still watches their every move, Riley and Grace must decide what's more dangerous: pretending to be something they're not, or choosing each other and facing the consequences. ⸻ ⚠️THIS BOOK IS STILL IN THE MAKING AND MANY EDITS ARE TO COME⚠️Complete
