Genevieve Moore isn't exactly a failed author, but when her sapphic romance debut novel, set in 1920's America, performs poorly, her publishers turn down her second novel and even her agents begin to turn away from her, she starts to wonder whether she should simply return to a life of even more obscurity.

When she sees a woman on, the train to a literary festival, reading her novel, Genevieve wonders if the smiles the woman is wearing are through enjoyment of the book or amusement at Genevieve's failure.

It's a long journey and there's plenty of time to ask, but does Genevieve want to know the answer? And the woman being extremely attractive has no impact upon how the conversation goes. None at all. Unless ...

A gently humorous sapphic romance novella for ONC.

Like Bees to Honey | gxg by ccstarfield
41 parts Complete
When a laid back and rudely gorgeous city girl comes for her farmer's market crown, Sabina's dream of joining the family honey business is threatened - and her heart may just get stung too. *** Now that she's graduated high school, Sabina is ready to join her family's honey business, but her parents are convinced that there's no future for her in her small town. They're set on sending her to university, which she knows will be less fun than getting swarmed by angry bees. To prove that her place is on the honey farm, Sabina plans to impress her parents by winning the Best Vendor prize at the summer farmer's market. Her quest for the sweet prize gets sticky when a pretty city girl steals her table at the market and doesn't even feel bad about it. Mel's family has been the enemy of Sabina's for generations, and now this otherwise easygoing girl seems determined to continue the feud by beating Sabina to the Best Vendor prize. The competition would be no problem for Sabina... if Mel wasn't also gorgeous and maybe even a little funny. Sabina didn't plan for feelings, and if she gives in to the temptation she may lose her honey farm dreams. But Mel's love might be the one thing sweeter than honey, if she can avoid the sting. *** Complete at 82k words. *featured on Wattpad's Cottagecore Cute and A Latte Love reading lists*

"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it." •••••••••••••• Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with. Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold. He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was. And she never asked for anything. But then he started noticing. Not her words - her silences. Not what she wanted - what she gave up. The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest. And the girl who never expected anything... is the reason he's learning how to give everything. •••••••••••••••• "Why do you always notice the things I don't say?" He looked at her for a long second. "Because you never ask. And I've never wanted to give anyone more." •••••••••••••••• Tropes: Slow-burn romance | Arranged marriage | Contemporary drama | Indian diaspora | Urban luxury + emotional intimacy | Cold ML x Soft FL | Changing for her 🏅#1 in India 🏅#1 in Indian 🏅#1 in desi 🏅#1 in romance

BOOK ONE OF THE BINDING TRILOGY CURRENTLY UNDER MAJOR CONSTRUCTION! Some big changes are likely being made while you are reading, and you might miss them. *** Jarelis had always known magic was evil and had stayed when her sister, Elke, had left for the bolstering magical center that was the city of Musteri. But when Jarelis receives a distressing cry for help from her sister, she embarks into the city to petition the god who whisked her away. They strike a deal: her sister's life in return for that of Princess Ifera, the Chosen Enchantress. Ifera is convinced that her father chose wrong when he chose her to rule over Musteri. For one thing, the magical talisman that she's supposed to use to legitimize her authority doesn't seem to want to work for her. She knew that her inability to use magic of her own made her vulnerable, susceptible even to desperate, but also reasonably attractive, farm girls. Only when Jarelis tries to kill her, she realizes she can't. Not without rendering herself dead in the process. If Jarelis wants to kill her, she has to seek out a way to unbind their souls. And if Ifera wants to escape her, she has to find a way to activate her talisman. Only neither of them are quite sure that's what they want anymore, and every second they waste Elke falls deeper into The God of Charms's grasp. *** #1 in LGBT 4/22/2020

[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

[GirlxGirl] We all know those romantic clichés, that just happen at the right time, at the right place, and the two leads fall straight in love. But what if the same happened in real life, so you could finally get the girl? Yes, the universe is helping this time, because some people are incapable of noticing love even if it was thrown in their faces! (Inserting Ola Shafi) Ola Shafi is a very oblivious woman, living her days with her parents, and Freda Heinz is the woman that will be the answer to Ola's every question. (Well, that's a bit of a stretch, but you get my point) So, when you're hopeless, the universe might step in to make you a little romantic too.

Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret. New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them. But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
