If anyone had told Sadie she'd be homeless and living out of her car at age twenty-five, she'd have laughed in their faces. She'd have laughed even harder if she’d been told her new, uptight, beauty parlour boss, Victoria, would steal her heart and stamp all over it. Because Sadie's way smarter than that. The saying “You don’t know what you have until it’s gone” has become Victoria's motto ever since Sadie stumbled into her ordered world. Victoria just needs a cleaner. But apparently Sadie has other talents—the sort that can crack open Victoria's heart and shatter her equilibrium. No, Sadie and her chaotic charms absolutely will not do. Victoria’s strict no-workplace relationship rules exist for a reason. But what if Victoria can’t live without her? Is it too late to win back the intoxicating young woman? An age-gap, rich-girl/poor-girl lesbian romance that embraces the big, crazy, complicated mess of fixing two broken hearts that belong together. 81,000 words

When Soraya Jansen took over the exotic Libellule's from her boss, she understood two things: The beauty parlour offers certain "extra" services that need to be handled with discretion. And there’s a strict no-fraternising rule between staff or clients. But Soraya's in charge now and can bend the rules to suit her style. Besides, no one will get under her guard—not the ex-employee she allows back to work, the flirty new hire, or the hot police officer client who definitely shouldn't be so interesting given they're on opposite sides of the law. So why, after forty years of protecting her heart like a fortress, is Soraya suddenly having the pesky urge to lower her walls and take a chance? Maybe the no-fraternising rule was a good idea after all. A friends-to-lovers lesbian romance about the power of finding someone not just worthy of love, but of trust as well. This spin-off from [The Secrets we Keep](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57372484.TheSecretswe_Keep "The Secrets we Keep") can easily be read as a standalone.
