Summary
Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp have been each other’s worst nightmare since the day they stumbled into the same grimy talent agency lobby, fresh-faced and hungry for fame, over the years, they’ve stolen roles, sabotaged auditions, and turned every red carpet into a battlefield of fake smiles and whispered insults that the cameras never catch.
They were supposed to keep hating each other from a safe distance, until Hollywood in its infinite cruelty, casts them as soulmates in a sweeping romance a lot of people asked for. The studio offers them more money than either can refuse, so now they’re stuck side by side, pretending to fall in love while everyone watches.
Between late-night line readings that turn into arguments that turn into something else, stolen glances that last too long, and kisses they’re supposed to fake but maybe don’t, Madeline and Helen start to wonder if hate is just the way they’ve always known how to want each other.

Summary
“NOOOO!!!”
A brunette burst out of Principal Vanhorn’s office. She scrabbled through the sea of kids transitioning from class to lunch. Pushing and shoving her way all the way to the schools exit.

Summary
She had whispered his name. Yes, she must have had. At least once, before the world dissolved in a pair of frightened blue eyes. Or perhaps she had screamed. Not his name, but she can recall an inhuman shriek near her and the burn of her throat, scorched earth but in skin.
Helen isn’t dead and she has woken to silence.OR
Seemingly boring Helen Menville leads a quiet life. Her days revolve around her husband, her cat, and the Broadway diva she’s sworn to get kicked out living across the courtyard. Her plan to ruin Madeline Ashton goes off-script, or does it?

Summary
With the word Madeline knew Helen hated to hear the most, she made sure it landed louder than a smack to the face as she stormed away and harshly slammed the door behind her. The sound echoed around the two of them in a staccato beat, the only other sound being Madeline’s retreating steps.
“MADELINE! FUCKING! ASHTON!” Helen screamed, heat rolling up her neck and face in record time. Her resolve was shattered, all other thoughts of not giving in lost to the word ‘divorce’ and the slamming of her door. Two things Madeline knew she hated with a fiery passion.

“I miss you,” the woman whispered in her ear, breath hot. “I think about you all the time.”
Lips touched Helen’s jaw, then her chin, then brushed her mouth. She tried to force her body to shove the woman off, but her muscles protested. So, she laid there, the blonde pressing her lips more insistently against Helen’s until finally, she began to kiss her back.

Still, she’s profoundly unsatisfied.

Her mind had finally found peace. No more lines, no more cues, no more going over the acting choices she had made that day and thinking if they had been the correct ones.
Just peace. She was finally in her sanctuary, she was finally home.

Summary
“ – and I don’t mean ‘cute’ like what you say when you meet somebody’s fifteen-year-old family Shih Tzu, you know?” Madeline says airily, flopping over the side of her dorm room’s full grain leather couch. (During move-in week, her mother had screamed three separate RAs into submission over her right to fill the space with non-standard-issue furniture, which had certainly helped Madeline feel right at home.) “It’s not like – 'Oh, is this little Fluffy? How adorable! I love how crusty his eyes are!'”
“So he’s better than a crusty white dog,” Helen says, pressing a glass of water into Madeline’s hands. “That might be the nicest thing you’ve ever said about one of my beaus.”
Madeline waves the water away, rubbing her temples. “Beaus. Must you speak like a medieval librarian?”
In peak librarian form, Helen pushes her glasses up her nose. “Aye, milady, I must.”

After a night out, college-age Madeline and Helen discuss Hel's latest crush.

“Fuck, we shouldn’t be doing this,” Helen groaned, barely coherently.

Summary
“Hi. Welcome in,” she said, voice smooth and professional despite the flutter under her ribs. “I’m Helen Sharp, CEO of Sharp Publishing. And you are?”
The blonde stepped forward, her handshake firm, warm.
“Madeline Ashton.”
A sharp spark, like a jolt of static, or something stronger… Shot up Helen’s arm the moment their hands met. Both women glanced down, then back at each other, eyes locking again.
____________When Helen Sharp, the no-nonsense CEO of her family’s publishing company, hires a new assistant, she expects efficiency, not a distraction. But Madeline Ashton’s bright smile and relentless optimism quickly start to unravel the careful walls Helen’s built around herself. Between long hours, quiet offices, and growing tension, lines begin to blur in ways neither woman can ignore.

Summary
For Madeline Ashton, flirting is a performance she’s perfected. For her best friend and roomate, Helen, it’s an unsolvable mystery - or so she claims. When Helen begs for lessons to win over her painfully dull boyfriend, Madeline reluctantly agrees.
As each "lesson" blurs the line between performance and reality, the real question isn't if they can stay away from each other, but how long they can keep pretending they want to.
