Description
I Don't Need a Happy Ending: I don’t need to believe in a fantasy. As long as these days of bliss continue, that’s enough for me.
From the twisted role reversal between a bully and her former victim to the pure love between an heiress and her maid kept apart by their difference in station, these five stories by the author of Assorted Entanglements explore all the various kinds of love between women. Sometimes sweet, sometimes spicy, and always thrilling.
