Summary
How could something feel so natural and so unforgivable at once?
That was the thing Francesca could not reconcile. Not the wickedness of it, which society would have named readily enough if society had known. Not even the betrayal, though that cut its own deep wound. But the ease of it. The instinct. The terrible, unsought understanding of how one woman could want another and be answered without translation. She had thought, once, that desire had a shape. A prescribed form. A body it belonged to.
Michaela Stirling had shown her, in a single evening, how wrong she had been.
-----
Inspired by When He Was Wicked, this version rewrites the original story through Michaela Stirling, transforming it into a romance shaped by secrecy, grief, friendship, and a love even harder won.

Summary
Ava clicks her tongue. “Well. I could help.”
Beatrice blinks a couple of times. “Help…?”
“You know.” She grins. “Help.”
It takes Beatrice a full two seconds; it should not be such a surprise that Ava is offering something like that, but, still, it catches her off guard. “Ava. Please lower your voice.”
Ava laughs, but she obeys: when she speaks again, her volume is lower. “I’m being serious! Think about it. I’m good at sex, if I say so myself. You trust me. I’m super hot…”OR: After leaving her religious life and her title of Sister, Beatrice finds peace in routine, tea, and the comfort of a local bar; especially when Ava, the bartender and her new best friend, is working.
When Beatrice confesses she has never had sex and is terrified of being… bad at it, Ava makes an offer: what if they just did it? As a favor. As a learning experience. No feelings involved.
But Beatrice already has a secret crush on Ava. And Ava, it turns out, is about to fall harder.
Virginity is a social construct. Unfortunately, so is pretending not to be in love. -

Summary
When Francesca Bridgerton returns to Kilmartin House in the wake of her husband's sudden death, she finds the one complication she cannot manage: Michaela Stirling, John's cousin, still in residence, and still capable of unsettling Francesca with a single look.
Michaela was the first person to offer Francesca comfort in London, and the first to abandon her without explanation. Now, forced into uneasy proximity by estate politics and watchful eyes, the two women circle each other through icy silences, sharp arguments, and moments of tenderness neither is willing to name. Francesca insists she is only trying to restore order. Michaela insists she is only trying to keep Francesca safe. But beneath the rules of mourning and the ruthless scrutiny of society, something forbidden begins to breathe.
Francesca is forced to confront an unbearable truth: she may be losing herself to a love she never knew she was allowed to want. Michaela, torn between devotion and fear, must decide whether protecting Francesca means leaving her... or choosing her.
The Widow's Reckoning is a passionate continuation of Francesca's story, where love does not replace what was lost, but dares to exist beside it... even if it becomes scandal.Series

Summary
Josie is not the type to turn away a friend in need. So, when Hope had asked her for help, her eyes full and expression pleading, she had readily agreed.
In this moment though, with the heat of Hope’s breath tickling her ear with each needy whimper, Josie thinks that maybe, just maybe, this whole thing was a fucking awful idea.
//
In an attempt to improve her lacking sex life with Landon, a frustrated Hope asks Josie for a hands-on lesson in foreplay. Lines get blurred.
