    Summary

    “I want you as my graduate advisor.”

    “What?” Carol’s hands fell from her bag. “You – what?”

    Zosia smiled, teeth on display now. “I want you as my advisor next year. Like I said, I have been waiting for this class the entirety of my time here. I don't want anyone else claiming you before I do.”


    So, Carol was fine. She was fine and the fact that she repeated that constantly, a mantra in her head, probably should have raised some red flags, but it didn't.

    She published her books under her pen name, taught at the university, and did not let an unhinged graduate student blow up her life. Just for the fuck of it, it seemed like.

    Summary

    “You think I'm a replicant, don't you?” Zosia’s voice was soft. Still, it somehow bordered afraid and desperate. Carol continued to stare down at her watery reflection. 

    "I don't think anything," Carol said as she loosened her tie. She shakily undid the first few buttons on her ruined shirt — stained with smoke, with blood.


    Detective Carol Sturka stumbles onto something she wishes she could ignore: a woman, a plot, & a question of what's real and what isn't.

    Summary

    Unfortunately, Carol could only watch helplessly as the garment fell away from the woman's flawless skin. From her vantage point, Carol could see the woman's breast in outline – taut skin, pink nipples, and a devastating lack of a tanline.

    The two books in her hand fell onto her towel with a double thump. The woman's eyes slowly met her own in amusement. Carol immediately glanced away in embarrassment – it was a miracle she didn't give herself whiplash.


    Europeans and nude beaches shouldn't mix – or, at least, that was Carol Sturka's opinion before a literal Polish model got her claws into her sunburnt skin.

    Summary

    After the death of her wife, nihilistic and closeted romance author Carol Sturka descends into a stupor of drunken depression which is only compounded when her fanbase finds out she’s a lesbian and erupts in outrage and deems her disingenuous. Her publicist has the perfect solution to rebuild Carol's public image and free her from the "romance slop" genre forever, but Carol isn't going to like it.

    She's right. Carol hates it. (Until she doesn't.)
