A CLOSER LOOK

by Michele L. Rivera

Available in Kindle Unlimited

With Boston’s queer community teeming with single women, professional dating coach Harley Cooper’s incomparable match-making abilities are in high demand. Harley attributes her success to her unwavering resolve to maintain professional boundaries with her clients. Of course, her cool demeanor and charming smile don’t hurt. But when Harley meets her newest client, she not only loses her cool, she wavers.

Tessa Pearson is one of Boston’s most acclaimed wedding photographers. And although she has a talent for capturing love on film, she has no desire to be in a relationship. She’s happily committed to her bachelorette lifestyle. Tessa’s best friend, however, has other plans for her.

The last thing Tessa wants is to work with a dating coach. Harley is Tessa’s worst nightmare: prying, overly confident, and guarded. Yet somehow she’s become the star of Tessa’s fantasies.

The last thing Harley wants is to waste her efforts on someone who doesn’t want to date. Tessa is jaded, stubborn, and uncooperative. So why can’t Harley stop thinking about her?

All Harley has to do is her job. All Tessa has to do is play along. But the more time they spend together, the more blurry the lines between work and play become.

DIAMONDS

by Ellie Green

Available in Kindle Unlimited

Emma didn’t want to be tied down. Until Cordelia tied her up.

Emma has spent her adult life travelling, partying and refusing to put down roots. Whenever her money runs out, she returns to Los Angeles to work a few months until she has enough cash to leave again.

Waitressing at an exclusive party for the rich and infamous, her gaze is caught by an elegant woman with an English accent. Once she’s seen her, it’s hard to look away. She spends her shift watching the other woman drink champagne, win at poker and charm everyone around her.

Beautiful, successful and wealthy, Cordelia is used to getting what she wants, in any way she might want it. That usually means with her in complete control. When the free-spirited Emma catches her attention, there is no exception.

Emma can’t stay away from Cordelia, even when she discovers the other woman’s darker preferences in the bedroom. If anything, it fuels the fire of her attraction.

Their physical relationship burns brightly. But with pressure on Cordelia to return to England and Emma’s reluctance to commit to anything, a future between them seems impossible.

Is there a chance for them to find lasting love?
