Summary
Ellie Miller has spent twenty years building a life she can stand. She produces records in Nashville, owns a condo, and has her name tucked into liner notes. Her routine is set: late nights in the studio, crowded music halls, and just enough distance from Silverlake to pretend it never really mattered.
Then one call pulls her home to where she’s needed, back into the town she gave up on long ago. Silverlake is waiting with the gym she refuses to walk into, the twenty-year reunion emails she keeps deleting, and the people she has avoided for more than half her life. Most of all Dina, the ghost she has never been able to outrun. Will Ellie discover that not everything in Silverlake was what it seemed, and that even broken bonds can be mended into something stronger than before?

Summary
Dina’s a 22-year-old English major with a crush on the kind of girl who only dates cool, confident queers. Dina is none of those things. She’s never dated a girl, panics whenever she tries, and the one time she made eye contact with her in the campus café, she dropped her phone into her latte.
Ellie is also 22, a college senior, and one failing grade away from blowing her art degree and losing her scholarship. She needs to pass Contemporary Poetry and the Queer Form to graduate, and she needs help doing it.
Ellie’s dated enough girls to know how the game works. She does not have time for someone else’s gay panic. But she’s also just desperate enough to say yes when Dina proposes a trade: tutoring for tutoring. Books for girls. Clean deal.
Until it isn’t.
Because the more time they spend together in study sessions and late-night practice flirting, the more the plot starts to shift.
Will Dina get the unattainable girl of her dreams?
Will Ellie survive poetry with her GPA and emotional detachment intact?
Or will they both realize they’ve been writing the wrong story all along?The College AU/Tutoring AU/Cyrano De Bergerac AU trifecta you didn't expect from me.

Summary
Dina is a rising star with a carefully managed image and a stalker who won’t go away. When things escalate, her team brings in private security, and Ellie Williams shows up—ex-military and not at all what Dina expected. She seems like all control and calm. She isn’t. Not when it comes to Dina.
Ellie’s job is simple. Keep Dina safe. Stay professional. Follow a strict moral code.
What follows is a dual POV slow-burn bodyguard romance featuring emotional repression, late-night yearning, and at least one security risk caused by being extremely, painfully gay.

Summary
Turning thirty wasn’t supposed to be a crisis.
Ellie’s over her evil ex, ready to put herself out there, and definitely not spiraling about the state of her game (or lack thereof).But after some spectacularly bad flirting and one very unexpected complication, her plan for chill, drama-free personal growth might be... on fire.
Which feels rude, since-ya know-she fights fires for a living.
No trope is safe from me, not even Friends With Benefits.
