When it comes to sapphic love stories, nothing adds more spice than a touch of scandal or a hint of the forbidden.
I’ve written quite a few romances that have made readers blush, gasp, and sometimes even question their moral compass.
Whether it’s a love that defies age, challenges societal norms, or breaks unspoken rules, these stories all have one thing in common: they’re so scandalous you can’t stop reading. 😍
Join me as I count down my most scandalously forbidden sapphic romances—from the subtly taboo to the downright daring.
9. At Your Most Beautiful
Blurb:
Ten years ago, Quinn Hathaway and Maya Mercer shared a night of forbidden passion they vowed to keep secret forever.
When Quinn and Maya meet again, old sparks fly, but none of the reasons to hide their passion have changed.

Can Maya overcome her fear of what her family might think? And how will Quinn’s parents—who used to be Maya’s next-door neighbors—react to their daughter’s unconventional love affair?

I Think I’m Addicted 😊
It’s no secret that I’m a little bit addicted to forbidden sapphic romances. They’re so deliciously messy, complicated, and irresistibly human. I just can’t get enough… (so I’ll just keep on writing more!)
Enjoy!
