Sublet: A Sapphic Romance
A steamy sapphic romance novella about a room for rent, a lighthouse waiting to be lit, and the truth that changes everything.
She wrote the listing four times. The last line was the truest I am always honest.
Nell Vasquez works nights in a hospital lab and hasn't let anyone close in two years. Then Teodora Halloran answers her ad for a room. Teodora restores old lighthouse lenses, arrives four minutes early, never turns on the overhead light, and looks at Nell like she's the only thing in the room worth noticing.
One kiss in a dark kitchen becomes something neither of them can walk away from. But Teodora came to the city carrying a letter she never delivered, from the woman who broke Nell's heart, and a promise she has already broken.
From a sunlit city sublet to a dark lighthouse at the edge of the sea, Sublet is a sultry, aching love story about honesty, longing, and finding the light that's already there.
A standalone novella of about 13,000 words with a happily ever after.
