Architect & Muse

Dakota is three weeks behind on rent and fresh out of options when a job listing stops her cold: voice talent needed for a sapphic romance audiobook. She's an actress. She can read lines. How hard could it be?

Hard, it turns out. Especially when the woman reading opposite her is Callie — polished, professional, and completely infuriating. Especially when the lines they're reading are filthy. And especially when Dakota can't decide if she wants to impress Callie, argue with her, or just stare at her mouth.

Thrown together in a recording booth five days a week, reading other people's love story out loud, Dakota and Callie are going to have to figure out where the performance ends and the real thing begins.

Some stories write themselves. Others need a little more time.

Inspired by the novel Keep Talking by JJ Arias.

The Characters

Dakota

Dakota

Actress · Narrator · Chaos Agent

Trained actress. Broke barista. Combat boots and a Coffee Fuels Chaos mug. Dakota has more talent than she has rent money, and a habit of saying exactly what she's thinking — usually at the worst possible moment.

Callie

Callie

Voice Talent · Professional · Enigma

Polished. Prepared. Memorizes her lines before the first session. Callie's posture is perfect, her hair never moves, and her expression gives away exactly nothing. She is also, somehow, the most interesting person in any room she walks into.

Chapters

Co-Authors · Book One Serialized · In Progress

Rent is due, the card gets declined, and the only listing that pays is for a spicy sapphic audiobook. She hits send before she can talk herself out of it.

The booth, a co-star she can’t stop noticing, a mortifying moment under a bathroom divider — and then, against the odds, the offer.

Coffee, Tips, Rent

A shift she keeps her head down through, an acting class about surrender, and a recording session that cuts far too close to the bone.

Remorseful and Sorrowful

To give Mike the take he wants, Dakota reaches for something she’s spent years not touching. Later, an old show she loved as a kid stirs up more than she bargained for.

Secondhand Stories

A rainy detour into a used bookstore, three dollars for a dog-eared paperback, and the moment the job stops being just a paycheck.

The ex walks in mid-shift — all crystal pendant and cycle-tracking and “I’ve been doing the work” — and before Dakota can stop herself, she’s said she’ll think about it.

Embody the Role

To find submission, then romance, Dakota has to open two doors she’d rather keep shut. A charged session, a ride home in the rain, and a text she answers too fast.

The Morning After

The apartment is empty, the bath is warm, and for once she has the place to herself — a dress she picked on purpose and a book she shouldn’t be enjoying this much.

Chemistry Lessons

An hour disappears into the book. A coworker spots the cover, an argument about the genre spills over two cappuccinos — and the pages start getting to her more than she’ll admit.

It's Not A Date...Is It?

A free dinner, she keeps telling herself. But it’s the dress Lauren bought her, the meal Lauren ordered, the kiss she didn’t ask for — and the pull toward letting go is stronger than she wants.

Anything But A Sex Scene

All Dakota wants after her non-date with Lauren is one calm, ordinary scene to record — no tension, no charged glances, nothing complicated. The universe has other plans.

Home Is Where the Heart Is

A tense ride, an old pull she can't fully explain, and a door that closes behind her before she's decided anything for certain.

Everything Falls Apart

Dakota steps in to defend a friend, taking a hit she didn't see coming. But the bruise on her face is easier to explain than the one on her heart — and far less dangerous to hide.

Slip of the Tongue

The orgasms were faked. The kisses were real. But can Dakota trust the emotions behind any of it?

It's time for Dakota to confront the mess she's been avoiding. But first she needs to put on a brave face...and dry undies.

Forces of Nature

A stolen dinner between Mary and Jane collides with an unexpected apology, a broken nose, and an ex who still isn't quite gone.
