Chaos and devastation will threaten to ruin everything they’ve built, but Sam and Luciana refuse to be beaten. Now seeing life from a new perspective, Luciana decides to take their future into her own hands…because hell will freeze over before she loses Sam.

DEMANDING BOSS
by Clara Reese
Available in Kindle Unlimited
The new girl is the epitome of cute. Shy. Innocent. Blushes every time she looks at me. I know what she’s thinking. What she wants. And I know exactly how to give it to her. …But I won’t.
As my employee, she’s off-limits. No matter how much I want her, I’m not giving in. Unfortunately, I know all too well where that road goes. In fact, I went there just last week.
My ex-girlfriend was a bit of a drama queen. After our break-up, she went straight to the tabloids. Which sucked…but do you know what sucks more? The fact that she was my top author! Her steamy stories were going to launch my new hot lesbian romance line.
Now she’s with the competition, and my dreams of market domination are fizzling.
Oh hell no. This publishing line is my baby. There’s no way I’m going to lose. All I need is a new author.
Turns out new girl’s writing is just about perfect. In fact, there’s only one problem with her book. Her s*x scenes suck…because she’s never had it. All she needs is a good editor to tutor her…
F*ck. We all know where this is going.

The clock is ticking and the danger is closer than they know.

PROJECT LAUGHTER
I don’t know about you, but the world seems to be getting pretty (insert your favorite colorful word here) intense. While I like to stay informed, I also like to laugh to deal with stress. And, I need some chuckles these days.
So, I’m starting a theme on I Heart Lesfic for 2020. I’m calling it Project Laughter. At least once a week, hopefully more, I’ll post a guest blog from a lesfic author sharing an embarrassing moment in their lives.
Check out Erin Zak’s story and enter for a chance to win a copy of Beautiful Accidents. Click here to read Erin’s guest blog.
