Mel Williams knows better than to want things she can't have.

​

Then she meets Lola.

​

The chemistry is instant. And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell where desire ends and something far more vulnerable begins.

​

Because some women satisfy a craving.

​

Others become one.

A chance rideshare. A once-in-a-lifetime spark. A love story neither woman saw coming.
​

Roxanne Cruz has a Tony Award, a crushing case of writer’s block, and a growing fear that lightning won’t strike twice. Arabella James is a publicist with a pristine reputation, a Rolodex full of A-listers, and zero interest in dating.

​

Neither of them is looking for a relationship. But when a chance rideshare turns into late-night conversations, shared glances, and undeniable chemistry, their connection is impossible to ignore.

​

What starts as a spark becomes something deeper—just in time for Arabella to take on Roxanne as a client.

​

In a moment of desperation, Roxanne proposes a fake relationship with her famous friend to stir up buzz. Arabella’s job? Sell the romance. Even if it means standing in the wings while the woman she’s falling for plays pretend with someone else.

​

As jealousy bubbles, headlines spin, and their private feelings threaten to become very public, Roxanne and Arabella are about to learn that falling in love is the easy part.

​

Sparks fly, secrets smolder, and love goes wildly off script in this swoony, sexy sapphic romance about ambition, vulnerability, and choosing each other when it matters most.

Sometimes you have to go through the darkness, to get to the light...

​

After living recklessly for years, Giselle Turner knows the negative feelings her family has towards her. She’s determined to prove herself once and for all but that’s easier said than done. When she decides to move in with a relative for a fresh start, the last person she expects to run into again is Aaliyah, the woman who awakened her sexuality. As she fights to get her life in order, she discovers that there may be something sweet on the other side of sobriety.

Aaliyah Spencer has a good life. Great friends, a job she enjoys, and loving parents. What she doesn’t have is someone to share it all with. Fear of letting anyone in has rendered her unable to truly connect romantically leading to one failed relationship after another. Giselle is a breath of fresh air and her arrival challenges what Aaliyah thinks she knows about love.

Despite an undeniable attraction, their respective journeys couldn’t be more different. Yet each may have just what the other needs to become whole.
