CHECKING IT TWICE

by Lucy Bexley

Available in Kindle Unlimited

Sacha Brighton is dreading her sister’s Christmas Eve wedding, but she’s headed to their family cabin in Northern Michigan all the same. Though she is running several hours late and her phone battery died somewhere on the interstate. Nothing surprising there. Sacha had braced herself for a lot of diva wedding antics from Alexis. What she wasn’t prepared for was to find her sister hired an androgynous wedding planner that Sacha can’t get off her mind.

Hal (Hallie) Halliday (she knows) lives by her checklists. All she wants is for this wedding she’s been organizing for months to go perfectly. She went to school with the Brighton sisters but has had a major glow up since her ponytail jock days and she finally feels at home in her own skin. She knew Sacha would be at the wedding. But she was still shocked to find her massive crush from high school resurrected the second she saw her. Could Hal really have a chance with Sacha?

Or will Sacha be just one more disaster Hal will have to take care of to keep this wedding on track?

Checking It Twice is a low-angst lesbian Christmas romance novella filled with ice skating, failed gingerbread cookies, and people trying their best.

LAST CHANCE

Taste of Port Andrea

by Lily Seabrooke

Available in Kindle Unlimited

Jennifer has an assignment she can’t refuse: write a smear article on her ex-girlfriend’s restaurant and drive her from the city forever.

If she accepts? The senior position that food writer Jennifer Allen has dreamed of all her life, pushing so hard for it that her relationship with her girlfriend is near breaking. But if she refuses? Merciless head content writer Genevieve Durant will end her career.

Athena Walker left Port Andrea six years back ago on the back of a scandal that cost her dream. With a lifetime ban from the city’s restauranteurs’ association and a heart-crushing breakup, she gave up her lifelong dream of running a restaurant in Port Andrea—until now.

Returning to Port Andrea to run a culinary gauntlet through November is Athena’s one last chance at getting into the restauranteurs’ association and fulfill her dream. But when the woman who caused her scandal six years back, hard-edged Genevieve Durant, pledges to crush her again, and the writer covering her restaurant is the woman who broke her heart six years back, Jennifer Allen, Athena finds herself in the continuation of a story she thought long over.

A Short Story

by KC Luck

The last time Abby Lewis was at the beach house, she was thirteen, and everything was grand and full of potential. As her fiftieth birthday rapidly approaches, and gray mixes in with the brown of her hair, that was not the case. Maybe even the opposite. Still, being back here is already helping lift her spirits. Especially when a beachcomber wanders into her life. Yet, this isn’t a stranger, but her special summer friend from all those years ago. Someone she lost touch with but never forgot.

Originally published in 2020 as part of the Summer Loving anthology.
