Summary
"Their relationship had always been too weird. Too possessive, too close, too jealous for it to end up any other way. And she knew it, she really did. But when Madeline was left alone just long enough to start really thinking about it, she knew it was a bad decision that had grown into an even worse situation. She knew it affected them. She knew they never should have let themselves do this."

Summary
Her mother holds her face, a hand on each cheek. Her grasp is too firm. “Maddie. You do not want to marry a woman. You do not think women are pretty. You do not love women.” Madeline opens her mouth to protest but is silenced by the look in her mother’s eyes. “This is not a discussion, dear. This is something you are going to learn here and now. We will not have this conversation again. Do you understand?” Madeline nods, shakily. She doesn’t understand why, but she certainly knows what her mother means. And she knows to follow the rules.
Character study of Madeline throughout her life. She and her mom are both painfully aware that she's a lesbian but they're trying to pretend that's not real--lots of stuff with her mother, lots of low self-esteem depressing sex with men. MadHel, but it's gonna take a sec and most of it will be repression and yearning.

Summary
She tried to stand unsteadily, but Helen took her hand in hers before even noticing.
They were lost in each other. Madeline didn't know why Helen was holding her back, and Helen didn't know what kind of inner strength had compelled her to grasp her princess like that.
Perhaps it was the desperation of not losing her, the tragic reality that, when she married, she would never see her again.
“Take good care of thyself, Princess,” she whispered. “Mayhap thou shalt find one who knoweth how to cherish thee as thou truly deservest.”Aka: Madeline is a princess forced to get married with Prince Ernest and Helen is a mermaid who is in love with her.

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
Helen refuses to believe that the art is important enough, and the fame is enough a part of the art, that it’s necessary for Madeline to do these things.
Helen refuses to believe that the art is more important than she is.
Madeline doesn’t know which she believes is more important. What she does know is that the art cannot compromise, and Helen can. Helen could, but doesn’t. Not enough. Helen only ever offers false compromises, and then she acts like Madeline is unreasonable for not being satisfied by them.
So maybe they just don't belong together.
OR
Madeline Ashton is an actress. A good one. A serious one who puts her craft above all else.
Helen Sharp is a one-hit wonder of an author who's lost herself in a relationship she has to keep secret.
When Madeline gets the starring role in the film adaptation of Helen's book, they have to face certain things.
They do not belong together.

”Oh, am I?” she egged on, not ready to back down now. “And what do you do for me, Helen? Enlighten me.”
