It's Trope Tuesday, so I'm sharing the tropes you can find in my new sapphic romance Enemies by Nature. There's also a "not-so-fake kiss" and a "heating pad situation," but I'm not sure these are official tropes! 🤣 mybook.to/EbN12

Depicted is the cover of Enemies by Nature by Jae (a red fox facing a brunette woman in a forest), surrounded by arrows pointing to the cover, with the words: fake relationship, fox-shifter with an alpha wolf attitude, single mom, sapphic romance, only one bed, enemies-to-lovers

I haven’t done a #lesficfri post in forever, but since it’s holiday season… here’s two of my favorite quotes from my holiday novella Nochebuena 💕🎄 **theme: fingertip Grab 𝙉𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙗𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙖 here: mybook.to/Nochebuena

Pink background image featuring a quote from Nochebuena by Stephanie Shea. The quote reads: Cami's lips found hers, but unlike their last, this kiss didn't come with the desperation of grounding Sutton, conveying security, conviction. It didn't come with the passion-filled rush of the last few nights either, the promise of blunt nails leaving trails down her back, bruises on her neck and thighs. Instead, the soft give and take of their lips, tickle of fingertips along her nape, relief in every breath carried the weight of emotions too big for words. The simplicity and grandeur of I love you.

Pink background image featuring a quote from Nochebuena by Stephanie Shea. The quote reads: Sutton slowly slipped her fingers out, mapping an erotic trail along Cami's inner thigh straight to her hip, and Cami's eyes fluttered open with a groan. Their mouths brushed, the frenzied tousle of lips and tongues having quelled to a sweeter, more exploratory kiss, so indulgent Sutton released Cami's pinned hand, delighting in the sweep of those same fingertips along her nape.
Sweet, like pomegranate and gin, heightened by the taste of Cami on Sutton's tongue.

Cami Morales has been called a lot of things. Dramatic, impulsive, all heart before reason. And okay, maybe she is all of that. But her married-thirty years-parents are suddenly getting divorced, and her own marriage is… well, rocky. Sue her for being a little sensitive. (Please don’t.) 😅😅

Mood board for Cami Morales, one of the protagonists in Nochebuena. Describes her as:
28 years old. Afro-Latina, family law attorney. Also includes an excerpt from Nochebuena that reads:
"Maybe that was why she couldn't bring herself to outright verbalize the gut-wrenching fear of losing Sutton to someone else. The very implication screamed accusation, and if it wasn't true—and it couldn't be—she didn't want to face the look in Sutton's eyes after letting holes left in her by the most unremarkable person she'd ever known warp her love of someone extraordinary."

Meet Sutton... a cinnamon roll wrapped in a mystery wrapped in the best of intentions (she swears 😅) 1 week to Nochebuena! 💝 Preorder link in my bio mybook.to/Nochebuena

Mood board for Sutton Davies, one of the protagonists in Nochebuena. Describes her as:
33 years old. Black, Bisexual and a contracts director. Also includes an excerpt from Nochebuena that reads:
"Moments like these, Sutton missed the sex almost as much as she missed the intimacy of after, when they'd lie wrapped up in each other, tracing indecipherable shapes on hips and thighs, kissing like time would stand still for as long as they stayed lost in each other's eyes. She missed the taste of love you on Cami's lips, even if they still said it every day."
