About This Book
Two women who thought they'd found their way to each other now face the terrifying possibility of losing everything—including themselves. Caught Sleeping picks up where the first book left off, with Catharine and Alex quietly thriving in a love they've had to hide from a world that isn't ready for them. But quiet never lasts. As Alex chases her World Cup dream and Catharine rebuilds her life in the shadow of her ex-husband's presidential ambitions, a buried secret surfaces with the power to dismantle not just their relationship but their careers, their safety, and the futures they dared to imagine. The stakes here are intimate and enormous at the same time.
Jen Lyon writes romance with an uncommon emotional precision—she understands that the most devastating conflicts aren't external plot machinery but the internal reckonings that follow when people who love each other are forced to choose. The pacing in this book is deliberate and earned, building pressure through character rather than circumstance. Readers who want layered women navigating genuinely complicated lives, written with warmth and without easy resolution, will find exactly that here.
