When May Alana's wish on a star brings a stranger to her remote island home, the pair must survive a deadly magical conflict in order to be together.
 
                                                                      *****
 
When May Alana, a scorned and anxiety-ridden young woman, finds a stranger on the beach of her remote island home, she wonders if this is the adventurous, accepting, and loving answer to her otherwise cloistered life. But as the pair grow closer, the stranger entrusts May with her brilliant secret: that she is half-Star in possession of otherworldly powers, and that a violent group of Star worshippers are out to destroy her. So if they want any chance of being together, they'll have to survive a deadly conflict between humans and mythological creatures first.

The Buddhist & The Billionaire Lesbian Story by WeWillC

All chapters of this book are posted 12.23.24 - 1.2.25 Happy holidays, Elle. Book 1: 33 Forks Book 2 Book 3: Molly's Story Zola wanted for nothing. She enjoyed the life of a young, beautiful socialite in the trendy city of Austin, Texas. She spent most of her days and nights moving from one party to the next. But slowly, she was coming to realize that her life was beginning to spin out of control and she knew it. When a compassionate woman comes to her rescue, Zola realizes that perhaps there is something that she wants, desperately. Cora's work at the UT hospital was challenging but also fulfilling in a way that many people didn't understand. Patients often found Cora's unique perspective on the world was profoundly comforting and sometimes perplexing. Cora is comfortable and confident in her world but two chance meetings with a beautiful stranger leaves her spinning in the best possible ways. I'm moving to a different strategy in publishing and access. I will open up some combination of my 12 completed books on special dates throughout the year for FREE through Amazon/Kindle Unlimited. I will post dates here on Wattpad. I will leave the first 5 chapters of each book available here so you can see if the storyline hits for you. Thank you to all my readers I am so grateful to have grown in this community. And I appreciate all your feedback, moral support, and patronage. Elle Watts

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know!

Pieces by LesbianLen35

The story of Hannah Elaine as told mostly through her point of view, as she tries to move on with life after leaving her first love, Rebecca. The girls met as children, became inseparable and eventually fell in love. When they grow up, Rebecca becomes a famous singer and their relationship falls apart. As the story progresses, Hannah's past and present will be blended with music, heartache, laughter and friends. Will they both move on after losing the only love they've ever known? Or find each other again in the future? Give their story a whirl and find out. Not a very good description, I know, but I'm terrible at these things. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Any names, businesses, places and events are either used in a fictitious manner or created by me for the sole purpose of entertainment.

I just want to warn you before going any further: This story contains vulgar language and explicit sexual content. I do not believe there will be a need for any trigger warnings, but there's sex and it's dirty. Just putting that out there for any kids on here. Please don't read this if you're under 18.

All the Waters of the Earth by lesliemcadam

Romance novelist Lucy Figueroa lives a life of the imagination. While her stories are filled with fictional alpha male heroes, her real life is filled with nothing but Mr. Wrongs. As a sassy, strong, single mom, she doesn't need anyone... except maybe a new book idea. And to forgive herself for the mistakes of the past. Lucy's sexy new neighbor, Jake Slausen, looks like one of her characters come to life. While he fits the heartthrob part, he doesn't act it, too distracted by his cell phone and his job for any relationship. Damaged by his childhood, he's ignored his true calling and goes through his days on autopilot...until he meets Lucy. First drawn together by chemistry, then by a fierce need to protect each other even from themselves, will Jake and Lucy learn to accept their pasts or will they convince themselves that happily ever afters only exist in romance novels? This is Book 3 in the series. It's standalone and HEA. If you want to read my books in order, they are: 1. The Sun and the Moon (Ryan and Amelia) 2. The Stars in the Sky (Will and Marie) 3. All the Waters of the Earth (Jake and Lucy) WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. SEX AND SWEARING AS PER MY USUAL And, I'll note, that if you ship Jake and Lucy you get Jucy or Juicy.
