    Enemies to lovers detective AU.

    All you need to know is that Detective Carol Sturka is a little sad, a little sarcastic, and a little horny.

    And Lieutenant Zosia Nowak is rude and hot.

    “Are you always this insufferable?”

    Zosia’s eyes widen almost indiscernibly. “Careful, Detective,” she says lowly, taking a deliberate step forward. She places her hand on the metal bar next to Carol’s and their fingers brush together. Neither of them pulls away. She tilts her head down ever so slightly. “That almost sounds like a compliment.”

    Summary

    “Your call,” Helen offers, rubbing Carol’s thigh as she watches her teeth catch her lower lip. Her thumb presses more firmly for a second, grounding her before resuming its slow circle.

    It’s only then that Carol tears her eyes away, returning her attention to Helen as she considers her options. It’s been a while since they’ve invited someone else into their bed, and she’d be lying if she said she doesn’t want to feel this woman’s hands joining Helen’s on her body.

    “I mean, I think I kinda have to fuck the female Raban,” Carol says after a minute, a slight laugh to her voice.

    Beside her, Helen grins, wide and delighted, “I think you do.”

    Summary

    "When's the last time we cleaned behind the fridge?" Helen asked, pulling it away from the wall with a scraping sound that made Carol's teeth itch.

    "Define 'we.'"

    "Fine. When's the last time anyone cleaned behind this fridge?"

    "I'm going to say the Bush administration. And I'm not specifying which one."

     

    OR

     

    A historic blizzard buries Albuquerque under thick snow and knocks out the power, leaving Carol and Helen stranded at home without internet, television, or any of the distractions Carol relies on to avoid feeling things. What starts with deep cleaning and Scrabble arguments escalates into a game of truth or dare in front of their fireplace.

    Summary

    One lives in New York. The other in Albuquerque.
    And falling in love might cost more than just the distance between them.

    Summary

    Carol Sturka is the forty-seventh President of the United States, and the most convincing thing about her presidency might be her marriage to Julian Vane, which is warm and genuine and entirely platonic. Helen Umstead, who serves as her Press Secretary, is the woman who sees through all of it, and who Carol cannot stop noticing in ways that have absolutely nothing to do with press strategy. After a Republican senator starts questioning the true nature of the marriage and an emergency in the Arctic forces the administration into intense scrutiny, Carol or Helen learn that the White House contains no space more hazardous than any room that leaves the two of them alone.
