Summary
“Nah, you way over-tipped last night. This one’s on the house.”
Lena’s shoulders slump in mock exasperation. “Kara, don’t start with me.”
“I am absolutely starting with you.”
What a smug little shit, Lena thinks. But God is she cute. “You really don’t want to play this game.”
"Yeah? Maybe I do.”
It’s said so softly, so gently, and if this was one of Siobhan’s movies, they wouldn’t be talking about the money or drinks at all, they’d be talking about something clenching around Lena’s chest, something stifling, a loneliness that paralyzes her bones.
“Don’t blame me when you lose,” Lena says with a gentle upturn of her mouth, her voice low and crackling, leaving a fifty-dollar bill on the bartop before she turns away.

Summary
The mechanic isn’t just pretty – she’s muscular. And sweaty. And broad. Her shoulders are wider than they look at first glance, and as she reaches up to remove her hat and wipe at her brow with her forearm, Lena can see her bicep flex.
Lena tries very hard not to be affected by that, or by the adorable red line the ball cap leaves on the woman’s forehead.
“Hi! I’m Kara. James said your Porsche gave out?”
OR
Needing to get away from the stress of her job for a few months, Lena buys a summer lake house in the most remote town she can find. She fully intends on keeping to herself, resting, and interacting as little as possible with the locals.
Until her car breaks down, and the town mechanic happens to be the hottest woman she’s ever seen.

Summary
Dr. Caitlyn Kiramman possesses all she once longed for—titles etched in brass, findings sealed in journals, her name a current in every quiet murmur of reverence. Her life is spotless. Measured. Acclaimed.
And grey.
A soft, unyielding grey, settled not just on her skyline but somewhere deeper—in the hollow beneath her ribs, in the stillness of her breath.
She tells herself this is contentment. That certain things—certain colors—are best folded into the past.
But color is relentless. It returns in flickers—unexpected, uninvited, undeniable. And when a pair of grey eyes finds her again, Caitlyn begins to remember everything she tried to forget.
Even the ones she left in that sun-stained garden in Italy.
OR
Berlin, Winter, 1988. Five years since the final chapter of Hint of Blue where Caitlyn left Vi to chase a future built in sience and silence. She waited. Vi never came. So she moved on—
or tried to. Life without the poet turned colorless. Until it didn't.Series

Summary
“Hm, you really should wear a tie next time,” Caitlyn said thoughtfully, and Vi could see she was already planning outfits for whatever next time there was gonna be. Vi raised her chin, grinning warmly under the attention.
“Yeah? Think I’d look good in one?”
“That, and,” Caitlyn reached a hand forward to brush her fingers lightly over Vi’s exposed collarbone, her voice practically dripping with that tone. “So I can do this.”
She fisted the hand touching Vi, keeping contact as she did so Vi can feel her nails scrape, and then yanked the fist back in a motion mimicking pulling a tie taut towards her. Vi swallowed, suddenly very focused, and she leaned forward like Caitlyn was actually pulling her in.
“Okay,” Vi said in a husky whisper. “Yeah, tie would good.”
Caitlyn takes Vi to a work party. They sneak away.
