Summary
At 19, Carla and Lisa were each other’s secret love. When Lisa begged for honesty and a future together, Carla couldn’t face the truth, and Lisa walked away, heartbroken.
Twenty years later, fate throws them back together: Carla, newly separated, stumbles into a bar—and into Lisa, now married with a daughter. One stolen moment reopens a door neither expected.
But when Lisa moves onto Coronation Street with her family, buried passion turns into a dangerous flame. As tension simmers and secrets start to slip, both women are forced to choose: the safe lives they’ve built, or the love they never truly let go.
Nothing stays buried forever — especially not a first love.

Summary
After a fire rips through Carla’s home and takes her husband’s life, she’s left with nothing but ash, grief, and walls she won’t let anyone climb. When electrician Lisa Swain arrives to rewire what’s left, Carla braces herself for silence and distance.
But Lisa is running from something too. She buries it in her work, fixing what’s broken in Carla’s house while quietly holding together the ruins of her own life.
Two women. One house. And a connection they didn’t expect—and didn’t know they needed.

Summary
A warm eternity later the hairdryer clicks off. But Carla continues brushing Lisa’s hair with the softer brush.
“You know what I love about being with a woman?”
“Hmm.” Lisa is unable to speak much. Unwilling, too. She loves this, feeling and hearing Carla.
“Lots of things.” Carla’s voice is warmer than a hairdryer ever could be. “I love sharing clothes. Even if that’s mostly you stealing–“
Lisa clears her throat.
“Borrowing mine,” Carla corrects.
Lisa clears her throat again.
“I said mostly, not only.”

How does this square up with Lisa, whose entire life is based on upholding the law?Sequel to (un)bothered and bewildered.
