Skye never drinks, never goes to clubs, and has never even kissed anyone. But when her friends drag her out to celebrate her new job, one reckless dare changes everything: kiss the most attractive person in the room. Skye chooses Katherine, a striking, intimidating older woman who gives her a soft first kiss she can't forget. It was supposed to last one night. Until Skye starts her dream job at a prestigious design firm and discovers Katherine is a department head just two floors above her. Now every elevator ride, stolen glance, and heated argument pulls them closer to a line neither woman should cross. It started with a dare. Neither of them expected it to become desire.

At St. Catherine's Academy, being a good Catholic girl has very little to do with actually being good Romy Callahan has never been particularly interested in following the rules. Between the parties, drugs, boys, and the trouble she constantly finds herself in alongside her best friends, she's given the nuns more than enough reasons to pray for her. But at one of the most prestigious Catholic schools in Pennsylvania, having the right last name and enough money can make almost anything disappear Especially when your best friend is Sutton Bellamy Beautiful, wealthy, and seemingly incapable of doing anything wrong, Sutton is everything St. Catherine's expects its girls to be. Perfect grades, perfect reputation, perfect boyfriend, and parents who practically worship the ground she walks on Unfortunately for Romy, she's also the girl she's been secretly in love with And no matter how many boys she sleeps with or how many times she convinces herself she'll get over it, nothing seems to make those feelings disappear But unrequited love is hardly the worst secret Romy and her friends are keeping After a party at the end of junior year leaves one girl fighting for her life and five others desperate to protect their futures, the girls make a promise to never speak about what happened that night again A promise that becomes increasingly difficult to keep when anonymous messages begin appearing on their phones Someone knows about the parties, the drugs, the hookups, and the lies they've spent years hiding behind their perfectly maintained reputations. Worse, whoever is watching doesn't just want their secrets exposed And as friendships begin to fracture, loyalties are tested, and the threats become dangerously personal, Romy finds herself risking everything to protect the one person she can't afford to lose Because at St. Catherine's, everyone has something to confess And someone has decided that forgiveness is no longer an option

‼️ BEING REWORKED ‼️ Ivy Williams didn't come to Heartfelt University for drama. She came to pass her classes, chain-smoke her way through the stress, and stay out of trouble. Then she met Professor Sinclair. Cold, condescending, and infuriatingly attractive, Sinclair seems to have made it her mission to ruin Ivy's life one lecture at a time. But Ivy gives as good as she gets-and the more they clash, the more the tension starts to twist into something else. Something neither of them is ready for but both of them want far too badly. Sharp words turn into slow glances. Power plays turn personal. And soon, the only thing more dangerous than their rivalry... is what might happen if it stops. [wlw]

SEQUEL to Ms. Beaumont Three years ago, Annabelle Rivers made the hardest decision of her life-she walked away from Eleanor Beaumont. No goodbye that fixed things. No more chances. Just distance...and silence. Now, Annabelle has built something new in New York. A life that finally feels right. Alongside Lucy and Juliet, she's carved a future far removed from the chaos she left behind-working in child protective services, fighting every day to give vulnerable children the safety she once struggled to find herself. Eleanor? She became a ghost Annabelle learnt not to chase. Until she isn't. When a high-profile case lands on Annabelle's desk, it pulls her into a world of power, money, and secrets-one that requires the involvement of a private security firm known for handling things quietly. Beau & co. Professional. Untouchable. Controlled. Run by Eleanor Beaumont herself. Neither of them knew the other would be there. Neither of them were prepared for what it would feel like to stand in the same room again. Three years hasn't softened anything-it's sharpened it. Because the truth is, they're not the same people they used to be. Annabelle is stronger, harder, no longer the girl who needs saving. And Eleanor...is even more dangerous in the way she carries herself now. Forced to work together to protect a child caught in the middle of something far bigger than anyone expected, they find themselves walking a line between past and present-between what they were, and what they could become again. But some things don't stay buried. Some choices don't stay in the past. And when secrets start to unravel, one question lingers between them: Was walking away the thing that saved them...or the thing that broke them for good?

Book 3 of In The Margins Series! Can be read as a standalone! Lucia Pierce has spent her entire life learning what it means to be great. At twenty-four, she is one of the most talented college softball pitchers in the country, carrying a reputation that seems to grow with every game. Everyone expects her to succeed. Her coaches believe in her. Scouts are watching. Her family is endlessly proud of her. And Lucia knows just how lucky she is to have a life filled with people who love her unconditionally. So why does it sometimes feel like she's drowning beneath it all? Between a demanding final year of college, the pressure to prove herself on the mound, expectations for her future, and the constant fear of what happens if she isn't everything everyone believes she can be, Lucia has become an expert at keeping the harder parts of herself hidden. Because being the best has always felt easier than admitting she's tired. She's spent so long trying to balance everything - school, softball, her future, her family, and the expectations she's placed on herself - that somewhere along the way, she starts losing pieces of who she is. And the worst part? She doesn't know how to stop it. She doesn't know how to ask for help. She doesn't know how to slow down. She doesn't even know who Lucia Pierce is when she isn't standing on a pitcher's mound, chasing the next win, the next record, the next expectation. She's drowning beneath a life that looks perfect from the outside, slowly losing herself while pretending she has everything under control. Nothing feels right anymore. Until Addie.

She came to destroy the empire. She didn't expect to want the woman sitting on its throne. *** Andrea Felipe has nothing left to lose. Her fiancé was murdered and the killer still breathes. So Andrea buries her real name to become Elsa Cruz, takes a job as at Vicious Red -- a luxurious flesh palace owned by the Tanaka clan. Now she pours drinks, eavesdrops and waits for a name or a throat to cut. Akemi Tanaka is no princess, despite what everyone calls her. She is far worse. When a police raid exposes a rat inside her club, Akemi responds the only way she knows how: brutally. One question. One gun. One body after another. At then end of the day, the lucky winner is Elsa, and Akemi offers a deal: Seven days to find the traitor hiding in my club. If you succeed, you walk free. If you fail, I'll paint the floor with what's left of you. Andrea accepts for one reason only: Revenge. But hatred becomes dangerous when it starts breathing like desire. Because the closer Andrea gets to Akemi, the more impossible it becomes to separate the monster from the woman. The killer from the touch she craves. The enemy from the person beginning to ruin her.

°Evelyn° I hated Charlotte Bennett. There was no complicated reason behind it. She was cold. She was rude. She was impossible to read. And worst of all, she had this irritating way of looking at me like she already knew something about me that I desperately wished she didn't. I'd spent years avoiding her. Then one stupid school project ruined everything. Now I'm stuck working with the one person I never wanted anywhere near me. She doesn't like me. I don't like her. Simple. At least, that's what I thought. °Charlotte° She was everything I couldn't stand. Loud. Reckless. Spoiled. Evelyn Whitmore had a talent for getting on my nerves without even trying. I preferred silence. She preferred being the center of attention. I kept to myself. She somehow always found a way into my space. And unfortunately, when a school project forces us to work together, avoiding her is no longer an option. Two completely different people. One project. And far more problems than either of us expected. Maybe I should've hated her a little less.
