CHOOSE YOU - OUT NOW

Perfect is overrated. But the past has a way of exploiting the cracks.

Finn should have known life was too perfect. With a change in the university’s second-year schedule, Gillian will once again be Finn’s lecturer. Facing another year of secrets, lies, and sneaking around, she breaks things off. Instead of relief, Finn is unmoored, missing her lover, and waking up with the sour taste of alcohol and regret in her mouth.

Gillian understands why Finn walked away, but it hasn’t made their separation any easier to bear. Yet when Finn experiences a family emergency, she knows only one place to turn. Gillian is waiting with open arms. And a decision—taking a risk and telling the university of their relationship, albeit fudging the timeline a bit. Now they don’t have to hide any more.

But life is not all sunshine and roses. Trouble still lies in wait on their journey to forever…

Note: Choose You is book two of Finn and Gillian’s continuing story that began with Study You. It is an age gap, professor/mature college student novel by bestselling lesbian romance author Melissa Tereze. Contains early-on angst that is quickly overcome, explicit scenes, and a dastardly plot to destroy all these two lovers have fought for.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN YOU - OUT NOW

Regret is a heavy burden to bear. And twice as hard to let go...

Aoife Brennan could blame karma for her lack of a love life. Payback for the once-in-a-lifetime love that she let slip through her fingers ten years ago. In reality, it’s The Albert, the bistro-by-day, bar-by-night success, that keeps her too busy to think about her aching, empty heart. Most of the time.

But then, the face of the woman who walks into The Albert reignites the spark that died all those years ago. Elizabeth Elliott—the woman who broke Aoife’s heart and left it in a pile of worthless pieces.

Ten years ago, Liz knew she should have dropped everything—including her husband—to follow her heart when Aoife begged her to run away together. In fact, after Liz made the choice to let Aoife go, to say her life imploded would be an understatement.

They try to pretend they can navigate this new normal—and even dance around the shimmering hope of a fresh start. But Liz has a daughter now, and an ex who figures heavily in the girl’s life. With baggage like this, recapturing what they once had could be an impossible dream…

ANY KIND OF LIFE - OUT NOW

Their life together is a dream come true—but a nightmare is waiting to strike.

Paige’s life is the stuff of dreams. Now the support act for a breakthrough artist, she has it all. Except her touring schedule means long periods of separation from Juliet, and the beautiful life they’re creating together at home. Realising that she never signed up for nights alone without Juliet, Paige is beginning to question if the musician lifestyle is really what she wants.

Juliet couldn’t be prouder of Paige’s accomplishments, and The Hideout’s growing popularity keeps her busy every minute of the day. But the lonely nights without Paige by her side—and the social media frenzy surrounding her girlfriend—aren’t making it any easier. Yet she refuses to ask Paige to abandon her dreams to stick close to home. Besides, their passionate reunions make it all worth it. Almost.

In the grand scheme of things, the conflicts they face are nothing that can’t be resolved with a lot of love. But an unresolved threat from Juliet’s past is waiting for just the right moment to strike. And when it does, Paige and Juliet’s world could come crashing down around their feet…

This is part two of Paige and Juliet’s story from The Hideout.
