Why You'll Love This

Two women, one lake house, and a secret that could unravel every relationship they care about — Harper Bliss makes the forbidden feel completely inevitable.

  • Great if you want: steamy sapphic romance with real emotional stakes and an age-gap
  • The experience: warm and escapist but with a tension that quietly tightens throughout
  • The writing: Bliss keeps intimacy grounded — desire feels earned, not rushed
  • Skip if: messy-relationship drama and unresolved guilt frustrate rather than compel you

About This Book

Two women. One borrowed lake house. A summer that was never supposed to matter.

When Raffo escapes to Big Bear to nurse a broken heart, the last person she expects to find sharing her retreat is Dylan — older, complicated, and completely off-limits as her best friend's mother. What begins as an uneasy cohabitation slowly becomes something neither woman can name or walk away from. Harper Bliss builds the tension around a central irony: the place both women chose for safety becomes the most dangerous place either of them has ever been.
