    Summary

    Francesca has lived as a secret alpha for her entire adult life - using herbs to repress her alpha instincts. She'd thought she'd found safety and comfort in the arms of John Stirling, but his tragic death stole that away from her. To make matters worse, his cousin, Michaela, is an omega who makes her feel excited and scared for reasons she cannot explain. When Michaela is named the new Lady Kilmartin and announces her intention to return to London, Francesca flees back to her brother's home and sets herself onto the marriage mart.

    But of course, masking as a beta will not be as easy for Francesca as it was the first time, and complications quickly arise when her Majesty threatens to select a more "refined" diamond for the season.

    Title & Vibes loosely inspired by "DON'T YOU SEE ME TRYING" by Erin LeCount

    Summary

    Francesca moves from Essex to London because of her dazzling career as a famous pianist. Gaining wealth and love where ever she goes.
    Francesca wants to try new stuff like Pilates and Clubbing. Things she’s never done in her 20s because she was too focused on work.
    Now she’s met her Pilates instructor Johns cousin, Micheala Stirling at a lesson she booked and she can’t stop thinking about the 36 year old woman.
    What happens when Francesca tells Micheala she’s never been in a relationship and has never had sex before. How bad would it be to be teased into a pinnacle?

    Summary

    The balcony is empty. The air is thick with summer heat.

    Michaela steps closer than she should. Francesca's legs part, almost reflexively, for her husband’s cousin. Michaela slips between them and rests her hands on Francesca's thighs.

    She leans in. Francesca can smell the limoncello on her breath. Her nose brushes Francesca's cheek.

    "Tell me it's killing you like it's killing me," Michaela whispers against her skin.

    Francesca trembles. Her need pulses in her chest, her stomach, lower still.

    "Please, Fran."

    "We can't."

    "I know. I know."

    -OR-

    Francesca Stirling is a high-powered Manhattan attorney on her eighth round of IVF. Her husband's cousin, Michaela, arrives for the summer and immediately upends Francesca's routines. When her husband leaves for a work trip to London, Francesca is forced to reckon with the woman she has spent years refusing to look at — and with the question of whether she can finally become herself without breaking the man who loves her.

    Summary

    Michaela sells flowers for apologies and confessions.

    Francesca doesn’t seem interested in either as she helps make people's decisions feel permanent.

    When a tattoo parlor expansion brings them together, what starts as business quickly turns into something harder to define. Something that is measured in glances, half-finished conversations, and tension that refuses to stay subtle.

    Somewhere in the middle of it all, Michaela realizes this isn’t just another order while Francesca realizes that this isn't just another sketch she can ink onto skin.
