SLOW BURN ROMANCE
Vivian Vesper's allure is irresistible-a vampire whose beauty and danger promise Ashyln not only answers, but a love that could ignite or destroy them both.
Ashyln's journey through a supernatural city is marked by yearning and betrayal, but nothing is more intoxicating-or perilous-than her growing obsession with Vivian. Amid blood-bound secrets and ancient magic, Vivian's presence is a beacon of passion, drawing Ashyln deeper into a forbidden romance that threatens to eclipse every other desire.
Vivian wants Ashyln's power, but more than that, she wants Ashyln herself. Their connection crackles with tension-a magnetic pull that blurs the lines between protection and possession, trust and temptation. Together, they navigate a world of failing wards and secret histories, where every step closer to each other risks unraveling the city...and their own hearts.
As hidden agendas close in, Ashyln must decide whether surrendering to the vampire's seductive embrace will lead her to ruin, or if Vivian-the woman who tempts her into the darkness-is her only hope for salvation and love.

Gxg Agegap Maxine Vale has spent her entire life preparing to inherit her father's empire. Brilliant, ruthless, and fiercely independent, she sacrificed relationships, family, and any semblance of a personal life in pursuit of one goal: taking over Vale Industries. But when her father dies, his final will delivers a devastating surprise. If Maxine wants control of the company she was born to lead, she must be married and actively raising a child within one year.

The problem? Reese Davison has no idea what she's talking about. A twenty-six-year-old single mother with a young son, Reese has spent five years quietly working for Maxine while staying as invisible as possible. She never expected to become part of a billionaire's inheritance scheme..... let alone be announced as Maxine's longtime partner before she can even object. Now trapped in a fake relationship neither woman agreed to, Maxine and Reese must convince the world they're a devoted family. There are only two problems. Maxine barely knows Reese. And Reese is beginning to see the lonely woman hidden beneath the ice-cold exterior. As family pressure mounts, secrets unravel, and a little boy unexpectedly finds his way into Maxine's carefully guarded heart, the line between pretending and reality becomes dangerously blurred. Because some lies are easy to tell. The hardest part is surviving when they start to feel true.

Overtones
Margot Veil doesn't do chaos. Ten years. Three Grammy nominations. One ex-husband who left her for a 25-year-old pop star and somehow made it her scandal. She's fine. She's been fine for two years. She has the press junkets to prove it. Zoe Parish doesn't do apologies. She dated the wrong man. She ended it. The internet decided the rest. She's over it. She's been over it since before it was even over. When their label forces them into a studio together - six weeks, one song, smile for the cameras - they agree on exactly one thing: This is the worst idea anyone has ever had. Margot is thirty-eight and has spent two years rebuilding herself into something untouchable. Zoe is twenty-eight and has spent two years pretending she doesn't care what anyone thinks. They have nothing in common. Except the same ex. The same industry. The same hollow feeling when they listen back to their own music. And, apparently - the same voice, when they're not trying to kill each other. Some frequencies you can't unhear. Some harmonies find you whether you want them to or not. overtones | enemies to lovers | age gap | f/f | music industry | slow burnComplete

Fractured Love
Two years lost to sleep. One person who never let go. When Valerie wakes from a coma, nothing is the same-not her body, not the world, and definitely not the people she once called hers. The boy she loved is now someone else's. Her parents barely look her in the eye. And she can't remember the last time she felt whole. But Sienna remembers everything. Valerie's best friend's older sister-quiet, steady, and fiercely devoted-was the one who stayed. Through every season. Every silent birthday. Every tear that never fell. Sienna held on when everyone else let go. Now awake, Valerie must learn how to live again. But as memories resurface and emotions blur, she begins to see the truth behind Sienna's eyes-the longing, the pain, the love she never expected. This is a story about the time we lose, the people we find, and the quiet love that waits, even in the dark.Complete
One More Tomorrow
They weren't touching. Not really. Just standing too close in a quiet gallery hallway where even breathing sounded loud. "She looks like you," Sienna murmured. Elara didn't turn. "Because she's sitting alone?" "Because she looks like she's thinking about something she can't say out loud." Elara glanced at her. "That's a romantic read." "You make everything feel like a romantic read." Silence stretched between them, thin and electric. Sienna's fingers brushed Elara's wrist. Elara inhaled. Neither of them moved away. Their foreheads almost touched. And suddenly the distance they'd carefully kept for months didn't exist anymore. - Elara Callahan didn't come to Ashcroft to make friends. She came to disappear into quiet hallways, survive her classes, and stay safely on the edges of other people's lives. But Ashcroft isn't the kind of place that lets you stay invisible. Not when the residents adopt you into late-night study sessions, beach trips, movie nights, and routines that slowly start to feel like home. And definitely not when Sienna Vale lives across the hall. Sienna is effortless chaos. Charming. Loud. A girl who belongs everywhere and to everyone. The exact kind of person Elara knows to stay away from. They don't become friends all at once. They become something in pieces. A cup of tea left without a name. A note folded into a notebook. Shared silence that feels louder than conversation. Care that neither of them admits exists. But some distances aren't meant to stay safe. And some people see you so clearly it changes where you belong. One More Tomorrow is a slow-burn sapphic college romance about quiet girls, loud girls, found family, and the terrifying moment when being seen feels better than hiding. #1 in twogirls category #40 in lgbtpride #67 in lgbtlove
