Candice O'stenner has been married to what she now considers the rudest and most inconsiderate woman ever. Had it always been that way? Of course not! You don't just marry the asshole that makes your life a living hell. Unfortunately, that is something you discover on your own over the years. One by one, the once sugar-coated promises of love begin to drip a distasteful bitterness that is sure to ruin even the best of memories in a relationship.
Day by day, her marriage wavers over a thin line. Candice's life after the initial honeymoon phase has never been the same. Anger and resentment towards her wife grow.
But what happens when a random, cliche, unexpected run-in leads her to meet someone new? Or when she gets invited to a special dinner hosted by her boss that happens to be that same stranger?
Candice O'stenner meets a charming, stunning, and caring woman.
Where there was once stagnant affection, a hidden love begins to unfold.

Kitty Cohen and Felicity Campbell are soulmates. Fliss has been sure of this ever since they shared a room their freshman year of college, when their friendship emerged fully-formed the moment they met. They've seen it all together: disastrous house shares; shitty post-grad apartments; too many relationships to count. Now everything's about to change. Kitty is getting married and Fliss didn't think she'd be this heartbroken. Levi's a nice guy. He understands his fiancée's friendship, and he and Fliss get along just fine, but he's just a guy. He isn't special enough for Kitty. But then a shaken Kitty turns up on Fliss's doorstep a few weeks before the big day: the wedding is off. Fliss didn't think she would be so relieved to hear that. Weird. The honeymoon is all paid for, though, so Kitty has a proposition: a girls' trip to Las Vegas, just the two of them and two weeks of drinking and overheating and exploring everything Sin City has to offer. Why not, right? Fliss has barely left the east coast and it's about time she took advantage of her company's unlimited PTO. It'll be nice to have an uninterrupted vacation with her favorite person. Then they get to their all-expenses-paid honeymoon suite and the hotel thinks they're married and it's easier to go along with it than explain the situation. It's not like it matters, right?

Second Chances [Lesbian]
I let out a soft Mmm and instantly opened my eyes to see her looking at me with her head slightly tilted to the side and an amused smile playing on her lips. "Do you always have that reaction to things that taste good?" The possibility of a double meaning to her question wasn't lost on me and it surprised me, making me cough. I cleared my throat before answering. "Well, it depends.." I answered carefully. "On what?" She leaned forward slightly with what looked like an almost mischievous glint in her eyes. "On what I'm eating," I fired back sounding a lot more confident than I felt. Her eyebrows went up slightly. *** When Ren stumbles upon a job opportunity, she never thinks that it'll completely change her life. Meeting Cameron offers her something she thought she'd never get.. a second chance. Little does she know that it will also mean finally finding herself.

Driven to Distraction
Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...Complete

How to Fall... Without Trying To (GirlxGIRL)
Being gay is hard. Like really hard. Especially for a socially awkward introvert like Queen, who grew up single for fear of being out there. When Queen's friends make her a dating app profile, it all starts to change for her. She meets a few people that interest her and give her a little light of hope for her dating life. Lana is a high strong girl, with a dark past that she'd rather forget, who knows what she wants and knows how to get it, but when she meets Queen? That all changes. She starts to doubt who she is, a straight female that wants to marry a nice guy and live in a white picket fence home one day. Lana was only looking for friends on the dating app, but has she found more than that? This book has multiple characters in it with different points of views. It's not based off the two characters alone, but more on a group of people surrounding their lives. This book contains a lot of sexual content, strong language, and some mature content such as abuse. Read at your own discretion, I make no apologies ;)Complete
