  1. Summary

    Josie's leg, 2.5 years after Skyhawk, gets her medically discharged from the Army. She buys a house in a small town in Georgia (not a real town), with property of about 20 acres. Cruz, although not together, follows her after retiring from her position as the head of the Lioness Program. This is their journey as they become more familiar and more comfortable each other, and as they get to know the town they live in and the people they live in it with.

    A cozy series about Cruzie in their post-retirement from the military life, with them getting together very early early on and becoming active members in their community.

    Summary

    Josie has never been naïve.

    And she isn’t stupid either.

    She’d known, even as a teenager, the kind of man her father was, the kind of business he was involved in, the kind of morals and opinions he held.

    So she had sworn to herself that she would do everything in her power to never turn out like him.

    I didn't realise until after I'd written 'For Good' that it was a bit of a sequel to Birds of a Feather. So now they're a part of a series. Enjoy.

    But she knew.

    She knew that she's never going to be off the hook with him.

    She just hadn't been expecting him to hit back so soon.

    Summary

    Alex Vause is an English teacher who is gradually losing love for everything around her. When Piper Chapman is hired as her new colleague, Alex’s life lights up.
    (I can’t write these summaries without them sounding clichéd as shit, so here’s the facts: slow burn, with plenty of exposition. Sexual content coming up, some bad language. Literary allusions ahoy. Features prompts from Vausemaniac and Jamie_Jay.)

    Summary

    Alex and Piper both teach at the same school. Alex is falling fast, but Piper is determined to keep their relationship hidden from her family. How long can it last? (This is a sequel to Carry Your Heart, but also works as a standalone too. Recap in first chapter.) Plenty of smut, some jokes, and a load of largely unnecessary literary references. Let's have a laugh.

    Summary

    Nancy Wheeler isn't a kid anymore. She's done her time saving the world, she's moved out of Hawkins, and now she has a college degree and her dream job. Well, a sucky job, that in a decade or two might turn into her dream career. But everything's on track, and for once she has a moment to breathe, to look around, to think about what she wants.

    Robin Buckley isn't a kid anymore. She may not have everything figured out, but she knows she's done with small towns and she's done with not being herself. She's built a life with new friends and new ways to survive, on her own terms. But one thing's still the same: she's still looking for the woman who will really get her.

    When chance brings Nancy and Robin back together across the country from where they grew up, they both quickly realize it's the start of a new kind of adventure for both of them.
