Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart.

Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions.

Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again.

Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller.

What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over.

A slow-burn, small-town romantic comedy about second chances, messy mornings, and discovering that the best lessons aren't always taught in classrooms.All Rights Reserved

Thirty-three, cold hearted, distant, a quiet storm of confidence and tireless work. The other, a soul who learned to smile through the echoes of yesterday's bruises. Twenty-eight, an extroverted vessel of joy. Yet beneath the glow, imperfections linger, because perfection has never been the truth of anyone, has it? They stand as opposites, yet mirrors in subtle ways. What unfolds when two worlds collide? ------ "I have many flaws and insecurities" "You're perfect" "But I'm not" "Your imperfections are perfect to me. You are perfect to me, darling" Rankings : #1 in womanxwoman #1 in lesbianromance #2 in wlw #2 in lesbian #2 in workaholic #69 in hurt ;)

Fractured Silence by avavalentia

A classroom is meant to be a place of discipline, structure, and control-at least, that's what Jean has always believed. As a strict and composed staff member, she demands excellence, never letting emotions interfere with her authority. But when Ava Valentina-her brightest, most captivating student-stumbles into class late one morning, something is different. Ava is off. Unsteady. And then, she collapses. What should have been a simple moment of concern spirals into something far darker when Jean discovers the truth-Ava has been hurt in a way that cannot be ignored. Lines blur, rules shatter, and the walls Jean has spent years building begin to crack. She was supposed to maintain distance. She was supposed to be nothing more than a mentor. But some things are worth breaking the rules for. And some sins demand retribution. ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains sensitive and potentially distressing content.

Saving Grace by UrMomsOtherLover

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⚠️

Because, Of Course by CLHighland

[Book 2 in the Of Course series] The first time Emryn Ashford held a guitar, she dreamed of a career in music. After headlining the Bi-Con series in Nashville as an out artist, with the help of her talent scout (and newly promoted close friend) Hannah Nelson, her singles have climbed the charts. Now garnering attention from all angles and soaring to newfound heights, things can only go up from here. That is, until Emryn learns of her father's sudden death. Taking a step away from the spotlight, despite the growing fame, it feels like ambition and inspiration somehow slipped through her fingers. Returning to her small hometown with only 3 stop-lights and a McDonalds still stuck in the 90's, Emryn is unsure of where her life is headed. How is she going to get out of this slump, and does she even want to? And, why the hell is Mallorie Rivers playing piano in the only coffee shop in town? Hadn't she set her sights on New York? The last thing Emryn knew, she went running to Juilliard. Mallorie Rivers was done with Eddie Shaffer's shit. Period. And him not showing up, yet again, for their gig, was her final straw. And that's not including the fact that they've been on-again, off-again since they were nineteen. Before that pivotal moment her life changed forever. She loved her piano so much, it was a comfort these days. Keeping her steady, solid and holding together when it felt like the world was trying its best to tear her apart. She's forgotten the thrill of an audience or those wide open spaces where notes echo. Where she was and what she was doing now is safe. And her old dreams? They were simply just that-dreams. And dreams change. But why is Emryn Ashford picking up Eddie's guitar? Didn't she have a concert or a massive crowd of fans to greet?

Behind the Letters by Shritzy

It was supposed to be anonymous. Just some harmless, late-night messeges on a forum. No names. No photos. No real-life complications. She was GoldTrap-mysterious, sharp, and way too good with words. I was BlueInk-awkward, sarcastic, and definitely not looking for anything. But then she made me laugh. Then she made me think. Then... she made me feel things I really shouldn't be feeling for someone I've never met. I'm Quinn. Twenty-four. Screenwriter-in-training. Emotionally a little chaotic and basically there no reason an amazing woman like her would be falling for someone like me. I've played a lot of roles in my life. But never this one. ----------------------------------------------- Late at night, I started writing letters to a stranger on a private forum-just to feel something real. She calls herself BlueInk. She's young, clever, infuriatingly honest... and somehow, she sees right through me. She doesn't know I'm Juliette Delaney-Hollywood's favorite ice queen with a face on every magazine and a life that doesn't belong to me anymore. She doesn't know that when I type, my hands shake. That when I read her replies, I smile. That I'm craving her words more than I've ever craved the spotlight. And I don't know what will happen if she finds out who I am. Because if I tell her the truth, I might lose the one person who loves me for who I really am. Not the icon. Not the actress. Just... me. But if I don't? I'll never get to feel her say my name out loud.

But one chaotic night, a paparazzi incident turns a polite routine into a secret connection neither of them saw coming.
