For the first time in years, Zara Nova is staying put. Ten months in Vegas for her residency means no tours, no running from city to city. It also means time—time to finally stop running from herself. Zara’s built a career singing about love while ignoring her attraction to women since college. When a friend offers to set her up with someone discreet, she says yes. For once, she has the chance to explore this part of herself without the world watching. Diane Washington, the daughter of a conservative senator and director of her family's political foundation, is deeply closeted and has spent years fundraising for people who would reject her if they knew the truth. When she walks into her blind date, she freezes. Sitting at the table, waiting for her, is one of the world's biggest pop stars. The attraction is immediate. Their circumstances impossible. Between the stage and the boardroom, they've both mastered the art of performance. Until one song changes everything, and the only choice left is which life to lose. The Residency is a companion novel to Hedonism that can also be enjoyed as a standalone.

Lise Gold is an author of lesbian romance. Her romantic attitude, enthusiasm for travel and love for feel good stories form the heartland of her writing. Born in London to a Norwegian mother and English father, and growing up between the UK, Norway, Zambia and the Netherlands, she feels at home pretty much everywhere and has an unending curiosity for new destinations. She goes by ‘write what you know’ and is often found in exotic locations doing research or getting inspired for her next novel. Working as a designer for fifteen years and singing semi- professionally, Lise has always been a creative at heart. Her novels are the result of a quest for a new passion after resigning from her design job in 2018. Since the launch of Lily’s Fire in 2017, she has written thirteen romantic novels, four erotic novellas under the pen name Madeleine Taylor, and is currently working on ‘The Resort Series’. When not writing from her kitchen table, Lise can be found cooking, at the gym or singing her heart out somewhere, preferably country or blues. Lise lives in London with her two dogs El Comandante and Bubba.
