From the author of The Muse...

Some escapes are never meant to last.

​

Taylor came to St. Lucia with her three best friends for a tropical escape between Christmas and New Year's. The plan was simple: sunshine, good food, questionable decisions, and a few unforgettable days with the bros. No work, no responsibilities, and absolutely no pressure to figure out what came next. Romance wasn't part of the itinerary.

​

Then she met Jade.

​

Bold, alluring, and impossible to ignore, Jade enjoys the chase but insists she doesn't catch feelings. She knows exactly how to get what she wants and has little patience for women who mistake attraction for entitlement. But Taylor is different. She's charming, a little shy around a beautiful woman who knows it, and far less interested in playing the games Jade is used to winning.

​

What begins as a chance encounter soon carries them beyond vacation flirtation and into hidden corners of the island, unforgettable nights, slow mornings, and a connection neither woman expected. For the first time in a long time, Jade finds herself wanting something she doesn't know how to ask for: to be pursued in return.

But paradise has an expiration date.

​

With their flights home drawing closer and a new year waiting on the other side, Taylor and Jade must decide whether what they've found was only meant to exist on the island—or whether some connections are worth carrying into the uncertainty waiting for them at home.

​

The Escape is a steamy, emotionally layered sapphic romance about desire, pursuit, vulnerability, and discovering that sometimes the person you want to chase is the one you secretly hope will chase you back.
