[Book 1 in the Of Course series]

The only reason Hannah made it to this wedding, was because her friends asked for her daughter to be the flower girl.

But fate has other plans when she crosses paths with a mysterious stranger at the wedding she didn't want to go to in the first place - a chance encounter that ignites unexpected emotions.

The first time Emryn Ashford held a guitar, she dreamed of a career in music. After headlining the Bi-Con series in Nashville as an out artist, with the help of her talent scout (and newly promoted close friend) Hannah Nelson, her singles have climbed the charts. Now garnering attention from all angles and soaring to newfound heights, things can only go up from here.

That is, until Emryn learns of her father's sudden death.

Taking a step away from the spotlight, despite the growing fame, it feels like ambition and inspiration somehow slipped through her fingers.

Returning to her small hometown with only 3 stop-lights and a McDonalds still stuck in the 90's, Emryn is unsure of where her life is headed.

How is she going to get out of this slump, and does she even want to?

And, why the hell is Mallorie Rivers playing piano in the only coffee shop in town? Hadn't she set her sights on New York? The last thing Emryn knew, she went running to Juilliard.

Mallorie Rivers was done with Eddie Shaffer's shit. Period. And him not showing up, yet again, for their gig, was her final straw. And that's not including the fact that they've been on-again, off-again since they were nineteen. Before that pivotal moment her life changed forever.

She loved her piano so much, it was a comfort these days. Keeping her steady, solid and holding together when it felt like the world was trying its best to tear her apart.

She's forgotten the thrill of an audience or those wide open spaces where notes echo. Where she was and what she was doing now is safe. And her old dreams? They were simply just that-dreams.

And dreams change.

But why is Emryn Ashford picking up Eddie's guitar? Didn't she have a concert or a massive crowd of fans to greet?

Delia Prescott is a best-selling author hiding behind a pseudonym. To the world, she's the wild-child daughter of a powerful publishing empire wasting away her inheritance. In reality, she's the highest grossing author that saved the family name.

Running a thriving bar and chasing inspiration across the world (and across the bar), Delia's determined to live life on her terms, even if it means hiding the truth from everyone she loves.

Gabby Andrews has spent years carefully building walls around her heart, trading risk for safety after too many painful cracks to her heart. She's convinced love is a story for other people, choosing to stick within the walls she's built and the emergency department where she works. Until she walks into Delia's bar and meets a woman who makes her wonder if she's been hiding from her own unwritten story and potential happy ending.

Gabby feels like a story Delia was always too afraid to write: vibrant, kind, and alarmingly real. Is Delia ready to step into the light, and finally write a story under her real name, and is she prepared to announce to the world the true identity of her pen-name?

Is Gabby ready to make the leap and try for love one more time and be her honest self in the process? Will her work schedule cause another rift in her chance of connecting to someone again?

Maybe in finding each other, there is a story they never knew was there to write... together.

Darcy Davies is Dating a Spy

Up now on WattPad

Written by yours truly, CLHighland.

* Think True Lies meets The Night Agent, but make it sapphic *

Darcy Davies thought her life was as chaotic as it could get. A whirlwind of energy with ADHD, she's used to turning heads with her impulsive remarks, quirky charm, and knack for creating unintentional drama. But nothing could prepare her for the pandemonium that ensues when she accidentally opens a mysterious necklace box hidden in the kitchen junk drawer-a box she mistakenly assumes was a gift from her girlfriend, Kate Arnold.

Kate, a former Marine turned enigmatic "contractor," has always kept her past under wraps. But when Darcy opens that box, Kate's secrets come crashing into their everyday lives-literally. A bullet shatters Darcy's apartment window, and Kate's swift, lethal response reveals the truth: Darcy's girlfriend isn't just a contractor. She's a spy.

Now, with assassins on their heels, Darcy is thrust into a world of covert missions, clandestine safe houses, and shadowy organizations. As she struggles to adapt to life on the run, Darcy must navigate not only the danger that surrounds her but also her conflicted feelings for a woman she realizes she barely knows.

Darcy must choose between saving millions of lives and confronting the betrayal that cuts to the heart of who she is. Caught between her quirky chaos and the deadly seriousness of Kate's world, Darcy discovers that love can be messy, dangerous, and maybe even worth risking everything for.

Remember that it’s never too late or too early to figure out who you are!

You know you’re LGBTQ when you’re 5? Great. You’re questioning at 12? Cool. You’re in your twenties or thirties and have just started figuring out things? Wonderful. You’re over 60 and you suddenly realized you’re not what you used to identify as? That’s perfectly valid, too.

I know the common conception is that most people start to question their identity in their early teens, but in reality, there’s never a right or wrong age for self-discovery.
