Sienna Monet lives her life in hyper-speed, capturing every chaotic moment for her growing vlog channel. Needing a break from her frantic city life, she escapes to a quiet coastal Bed & Breakfast owned by her college friend's grandparents, expecting a peaceful seaside retreat.
Instead, she walks straight into a combat zone.
Constantine Harrington, the icy CEO of a premium wine empire, is at the inn to escape humanity. She detests everyone and everything around her, viewing the presence of others as a personal insult to her peace.
The peace shatters when a distracted Sienna, camera in hand, bumps directly into Constantine just as the titan raises a hot cup of coffee to her lips. The spill triggers a ruthless, verbal execution from the corporate elite. But Sienna refuses to be intimidated. Forced together in the creaky seaside B&B, a war of attrition begins: Constantine is determined to break the annoying influencer, while Sienna realizes surviving the meanest woman alive is the viral content her channel needs.

Ink and Lace (18+ WLW)
I've spent years perfecting the art of being untouchable. I don't date, I don't "do" hookups, and I certainly don't do vulnerability with people that know who I am. But when Ally dragged me to a speed-dating event, I figured I'd spend five minutes being bored and then go home. Then Paloma walked up to me. She was everything I usually avoid-confident, radiant, and looking at me like she could see right through my professional armor. For one night, I let my guard down. For one night, I wasn't the boss; I was just the woman who couldn't keep her hands off her. I thought I'd never see her again. I was wrong. Walking into my firm on Monday morning, I expected the usual spreadsheets and silence. Instead, I found Paloma-my new Creative Director for my magazine, GLINT. Now, the woman who knows exactly what I look like without my suit is the one reporting to me. She's a distraction I can't afford and I'm a risk she shouldn't take. But every time she walks into my office with a stack of files and that beautiful smile, I realize that for the first time in my life, I don't want to follow the rules. I want to break them. ________________________________________________________________________________ Paloma is back in the city, nursing a bruised heart and zero desire to be at a bar. But her friend Nova is relentless, and before she knows it, she's facing Tae; from the most captivating woman she's ever seen. Tae is striking-six feet of quiet intensity, covered in tattoos, and clearly just as reluctant to be there as Paloma is. The connection is instant. The hookup is unforgettable. But when Paloma walks into her new Job on Monday, the woman with the ink and the soft touch isn't a stranger anymore. She's her boss.

One-night stand
Two strangers. One bathroom. A single, reckless night that neither of them can forget. Two weeks before the fall semester begins, Rowan Gallagher-a cynical senior with nothing left to prove-locks eyes with a woman at a club. The connection is instant, electric, and dangerous. By morning, they've shared something raw and unforgivable. And they both walk away without exchanging names. When the semester starts, Rowan walks into her first class and finds the same woman standing at the podium. Dr. Elena Voss is her new professor. Cold, untouchable, and utterly indifferent. Or so she pretends. What happens when two fires collide? When two women who have built their lives on control suddenly find themselves powerless? Elena sees in Rowan everything she used to be-reckless, unafraid, alive. Rowan sees in Elena everything she's terrified of becoming-controlled, successful, and achingly alone. They are two worlds so different, yet so painfully the same. And as the semester unfolds, the line between hate and desire blurs. Old beliefs shatter. New truths emerge. Because some fires don't burn you. They change you. And some nights don't end when the sun comes up.
