About this ebook
On Pride morning, bookish and reserved Rachel musters the courage to talk to her barista crush, only to discover she's not alone in her desires.
Where does an introverted bookish dyke hang out on Pride morning? Her local LGBTQ bookstore, of course. While helping to put together the store's annual float for the parade, Rachel reveals that she has a crush on the barista at the coffee shop next door.
The bookstore gang encourages Rachel to step out of her comfort zone and talk to the barista, even though Rachel is convinced she must have a boyfriend. Much to her surprise, the girl flirts with her and even shows up at the bookstore on her coffee break, where she introduces herself as Mavis. In spite of her shyness, Rachel lays bare that she has had a crush on Mavis for some time and Mavis—to everyone's surprise—wants to know what Rachel is doing after the parade.
Beside herself with disbelief, Rachel skips through the parade. She is so unsure of herself and the new connection with Mavis and she's convinced that Mavis is straight. When Mavis confesses she has never been with a woman, Rachel must face her worst fear—that she was right. But it doesn't take long for Mavis to convince Rachel that she's up for a new experience.
Rachel doesn't want to be an experiment and she has a hard time trusting that Mavis wants more than just a bit of fun on Pride. Can she take the leap of faith so necessary in taking their connection to the next level?

Romance heroines have saved my sanity numerous times through break-ups and life changes. I find escaping into a romance both soothing and revitalizing—and even better when there are some steamy scenes to tantalize the imagination. For most of my adult life, I’ve concentrated on carving out a serious career, but a number of love-hungry, sassy characters keep taking over my mind, insisting that I daydream, live vicariously through them and tell their stories. Watching these women emerge on the page gives me a different sort of satisfaction than I get from my day job. It is a joy to share them with readers. I live in a tiny apartment in a crowded city and I like to think there is something romantic about this. I did manage to find my soul mate here.

Chapter One
Some years ago, on Pride morning, I volunteered to help my favorite bookstore with their float in the parade. I do this every year. It’s the best place for a bookish dyke like me to spend her day. I can’t deal with the over-the-top partiers and the semi-naked men everywhere, so helping my friends at the bookstore get their signs ready and marching with them is pretty much the epitome of Pride for me.
Carl, the owner, is always really generous with us helpers, probably because getting gays to show up for anything other than cocktails on Pride is like trying to train cats. It doesn’t work.
Go next door and get yourself an iced mocha or something,
he said. Put it on the store’s tab.
That’s how much he appreciates the handful of us that show up year after year to march with the store. Free food and drinks all day.
My crush was a barista at that shop. I didn’t know her name. She barely acknowledged my existence, but her Australian accent and her hippie dresses and nose ring
