A sweet and spicy friends to lovers story available on the authors’ website as part of a Valentine’s Day collaboration with K-Y Yours & Mine lubricant. From the authors’ website: Happy almost Valentine’s Day! If you follow us on Instagram, you’ve seen us hinting about this little story, and we’re so excited to bring it to you in full today. When we were approached by K-Y, the #1 brand in lubricants*, about this collab, we were sort of blown away by what a natural fit it was. Romance as a genre is about joy and helping women advocate for their own pleasure and needs, and one aspect of that is comfort and satisfaction. And as writers who started out in fanfiction, we love nothing more than a prompt. Enter: K-Y Yours & Mine. By weaving the couples lube into a playful romantic storyline, we were able to hit all the normal romance beats, while also including the real-life details that don’t always make it to the page. Our goal was to help normalize the use of a lubricant in a way that feels honest, real, and incredibly sexy. Add in one of our favorite tropes—friends to lovers—and the words just started flowing. Thank you to everyone who reads and to K-Y Yours & Mine for understanding the power of the romance genre, and trusting us to play in their sandbox a little. We had the most fun.
