Out now! Sapphic Romance.
Some loves rewrite everything you thought you knew about winning.
Passion. Ambition. Demolition.
Marina Fuentes always wants to win. She’s just landed the career-defining client: the monolithic real estate developer Black Pinnacle. Success is finally within reach — provided she can keep her life as meticulously controlled as her courtroom strategy.
River Rigel owns Echoes and Insights, a metaphysical shop in the neighbourhood she grew up in. She has a judgemental ghostly roommate, a cat that mostly ignores her, and a love of food and good sex. She lives a life guided by instinct and spirit, a world away from Marina’s 38th-floor office.
When a chance encounter at an art gallery ignites an undeniable, electric spark, these two polar opposites collide. When it comes to destiny, there are no rules. Will Marina be able to see past her ambition, or will her need to win end up tearing River’s world apart?
