Two women, only one bed, ...and a thousand ways to pretend it’s not a big deal at all.
Here are my sapphic romances that include an "only one bed" scene:

Linda reviews "Shifting Nature" by Jae:

"Quite a thrill ride up until the end... This is not just a story about Tala and Faith. It's also a story about hatred when anyone who is different becomes a target. It seems very timely. 5 stars."

I'm excited to share a brand-new free sapphic paranormal romance ebook with you!

After wrapping up Enemies by Nature and Shifting Nature, I wasn’t quite ready to say goodbye to Tala and Faith, so I wrote a bonus novelette for them.

Depicted is the cover of A Shape-Shifter's Guide to Romancing a Human, a cute cartoon fox with a red rose in its muzzle. Next to the cover is a price tag saying "free" and the book's tagline: Who knew falling in love with a human required a manual?

#LesFicFri "LIPS"

There was a steam boiler ready to explode just six feet from her, and its name was Mrs Jenkins. And yet Veronica was sure she had played her game with such exquisite delicacy and deference it would be impossible for anyone to claim she had engineered the outcome.

“Books cannot teach you all that you need to know, Miss Clifford-Hughes,” said the vicar, placing his hand lightly upon her arm. “I would be quite delighted to instruct you in the subject.”

“Sir, you are too kind,” she said. “I could not possibly distract you from your duties.”

“Nonsense, I’m sure I can find an hour here or there.”

“I must defer to Mrs Jenkins, sir, she must make the final decision. She has my best interests at heart.”

“I must defer to Mrs Jenkins, sir, she must make the final decision. She has my best interests at heart.”

Veronica turned a little and raised her head so she could see Mrs Jenkins despite the strain the action caused in her back. The conflict in the woman was like the Battle of Waterloo, the differing sides throwing themselves at one another.

But it was utterly impossible for Mrs Jenkins to deny him.

“That will be entirely satisfactory, of course, vicar.” The woman’s lips barely moved as she spoke, and her body was rigid.

#LesFicFri "PLEASE"

“Put these on.” Mademoiselle Vionnet had two sets of pale cream, silk undergarments, one in each hand, but as Veronica and Polly reached for them, she pulled her hands back. “You have bathed?” They nodded. Vionnet let them take the clothes, and pulled more packages from the trunks.

Polly quickly pulled on the silk bloomers. “Where’s the rest, mademoiselle?”

Vionnet gave her a long look. “There is no ‘rest’.”

“But—”

“Whatever Margaine-Lacroix can do, Vionnet can do better.”

Veronica had no time to ask who that was before Polly cried out.

“We’re going to be naked!”

“You will be dressed by Vionnet!”

[...] ("please" is in the last paragraph I couldn't include - see alt-text)

Polly looked pleadingly at her mistress. Veronica was still naked and just shook her head. “Help me into these Polly, we will do as we are told.”

“Veronique, if you please.” The couturier gestured at the makeshift podium and produced a tape measure from somewhere.

I'm honored to say my sapphic romance Bachelorette Number 12 just won an International Book Award, the fourth award it won so far!

It's the story of Ellie, a kind-hearted ER nurse, and Regina, a prickly attending physician who thinks emotional involvements are a waste of time...until a charity singles auction throws them together.

Depicted is the cover of Bachelorette Number Twelve by Jae--a female doctor with short brunette hair and a white coat and a nurse with long brunette hair, both in scrubs. Next to the cover is the award seal saying Award Winner - International Book Awards winner LGBTQ+ Fiction.

Four centuries ago, the supreme monarch of the Demon Empire had absolute dominion over Rorel, the Mortal Realm. With iron fists, demons reigned, subjugating the witches and ordinary humans. As part of the aristocratic class were the vampires and werewolves, created by the most powerful royal demons.

#LesFicFri "SMELL"

It seemed strange going out without Polly, but she descended the stairs, went through the ballroom, and out on to the patio. The sun was descending in the west, but the stones were still warm beneath her feet.

The air was sweet from the ranks of flowers, and there was a gentle breeze bringing the earthy smell of the Downs. The occasional bleating of sheep punctuated the constant birdsong.

She was not wearing outdoor shoes, she had no parasol, and she had no one to accompany her.

“If I am the lady of the house, there is no one to tell me what I should or should not do.”

“Except your British propriety,” said Vionnet behind her. “A rule for every occasion, and no occasion without its rules.”

The French woman sat on a lounge chair with her dress pulled up to her knees, in exactly the way that Veronica would never have dared to do—before. The couturier’s eyes were hidden behind some form of spectacles that had dark lenses.

Want to see something really geeky?

Here's my Sapphic Love Scene Word Count Graph!

🔥 My new novel "Shifting Nature" is the book with the single longest love scene at 6,395 words!

🔥 It's closely followed by "Backwards to Oregon" at 6,220 words.

🔥 "Just Physical" is the only book with three explicit love scene, which makes sense since it's a one-night-stand-to-forever romance.

Shown is a love scene word count graph with pink and purple bars showing the word count of love scenes in each book. The top 5 books with the longest/most love scenes are: Just Physical (3 love scenes), Just for Show (2 love scenes), Not the Marrying Kind (2 love scenes), Shifting Nature (1 love scene of 6,395 words9, and backwards to Oregon (1 love scene of 6,220 words).

#PhantastikPrompts 05.06.:
Ist dein aktuelles Projekt ein Stand-alone oder Teil einer Reihe?

Mein WIP ist ein Stand-alone. Aber ich möchte mehrere Werke in der selben Welt, dem #Lespensterwald, ansiedeln, ähnlich wie bei den Scheibenwelt-Romanen. Sie sollen unabhängig voneinander sein, aber wenn man die Welt nicht verlassen möchte, finden irgendwann Romane an anderen Schauplätzen davon statt.

Natürlich werden voraussichtliche alle Bücher #sapphicRomance enthalten.

Here's one of my favorite quotes from my new sapphic romance Shifting Nature.

Of course, we all know that Tala doesn't stick to that resolution. 🤣

mybook.to/ShN13

“If I ever kiss you again, it’ll be because the paparazzi have their cameras trained on us, not because your lips are incredibly soft and you taste like honey.”

Quote from Shifting Nature by Jae. Depicted is the cover of the book, a red fox and a brunette woman sitting facing each other, with the woman petting the fox. The setting is a forest, with a warm yellow-orange glow.
