EMMA - OUT NOW

One gentle nudge could snowball into changes they never saw coming.

It’s been a year since the surgery that saved Vanessa’s life. Emma, grateful the bitter battle is over, intends to savor the sweetness of every moment with the love of her life. Every touch, every simple walk, every night under the stars is a celebration that Vanessa is here. Whole. And all Emma’s.

That doesn’t mean it’s all smooth sailing. Though they both adore Vanessa’s precious granddaughter Daisy, Vanessa’s daughter Lauren aims barbs at Emma every chance she gets. And her demands that Vanessa drop everything at a moment’s notice to babysit is grating more and more on Emma’s last nerve.

At her school, at least, Emma feels she’s making forward progress with her students, from the ones with the bad attitudes to the shy ones. Like Freya, the new girl who struggles to fit in. Freya has a spark; Emma can see it. But little does she know it’s the quiet ones that tend to make the biggest impact…

TO LAGOS FOR LOVE - OUT NOW

When you’re pining from afar, distance can be just an illusion.

Laura Ross doesn’t know what circle of hell she’s in, but it’s torture. Because somewhere between business meetings and late-night laughter, and somewhere in the midst of her boss, Natasha Ainsworth, transforming her into a successful luxury real estate agent, Laura fell. Hard.

Confessing her feelings could break the most meaningful friendship of her life. So Laura swallows them down, wears a smile, and politely declines Natasha’s yearly invitation to her annual getaway in Portugal. The temptation to go one comment or one touch further would be too great.

Natasha is considering a permanent move to Portugal, telling herself she’s ready for a slower pace of life, better weather, and a fresh start. But the truth is, it’s Laura. Or more accurately, it’s everything Natasha can’t say to her. The feelings that build every time Laura smiles, and the words she’s terrified will escape her lips and ruin everything: Want. Need. Love.

And then, after years of refusals, Laura shows up on the doorstep of Natasha’s clifftop villa, suitcase in hand.

Can time alone beneath the Portuguese sun unlock the dream of a future they both thought impossible? Or will secrets and long-held fears unravel it all before it’s even begun?

HEAL YOU - OUT NOW

Divorced. Determined. Definitely not straight.

Jan Bartlett has no idea her perfect life is an illusion until she is blindsided. In a flash, her two-decade marriage is over, her world rocked by waves of shock and confusion. Gathering the shreds of her dignity, she severs all ties and walks away. And somehow finds herself in The Corner Bar.

Morgan Tate likes two things: friends who tell it like it is, and a woman who knows her own mind. The Corner Bar is her baby, its walls saturated with good memories—except the ones involving her recent break-up. She’s admired Jan’s beauty from afar for a long time, but something is different about the woman she finds seated alone at the bar. Without her husband. Doing her best to drink the place dry.

Jan finds refuge in Morgan’s comforting, genuine presence. And something more she never knew she needed. But the weight of their friends’ doubts makes them wonder if they should play it safe, or risk it all for something real.

Note: Heal You is book three of the series that began with Study You. It is an age gap, professional/bar owner novel by bestselling lesbian romance author Melissa Tereze. Contains two freshly broken hearts, explicit scenes, and well-meaning—but wrong—friends.
