She pours drinks, keeps secrets, and never risks her heart until a stranger orders tea instead of tequila and exhales like she s finally safe. What begins as stolen Thursday nights soon ignites into stolen kisses. Then a leaked photo exposes Chloe s identity and shoves both women under headlines that can ruin them. To keep seeing Lou, Chloe strikes a bargain with her cousin feed him bar gossip, or face life under a full-time security detail. When the story explodes, to salvage the only place they ve ever felt genuine, Chloe must risk the one thing her world never allows: honesty. And Lou has to bet everything she has that Chloe s love isn t just another con. A short, sapphic hidden identity romance.
