Equal parts witty and steamy, this debut rom-com brings a healthy dose of queerness and a whole lot of spirit to a Pride and Prejudice-inspired enemies-to-lovers romance.
"Brims with heart, spice, and humor."--Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn't Care
"The L Word, but better."--TJ Alexander, author of Chef's Kiss
"A juicy sapphic romp; sweet, sexy, and tender in all the right ways."--Gabrielle Korn, author of Everybody (Else) Is Perfect

The only thing worse than hating your boss? Being attracted to her.
Â
Liz Baker and her three roommates work at the Nether Fields, a queer magazine in New York that's on the verge of shutting down--until it's bought at the last minute by two wealthy lesbians. Liz knows she's lucky to still have a paycheck but it's hard to feel grateful with minority investor Daria Fitzgerald slashing budgets, cancelling bagel Fridays, and password-protecting the color printer to prevent "frivolous use." When Liz overhears Daria scoffing at her listicles, she knows that it's only a matter of time before her impulsive mouth gets herself fired.
Â
But as Liz and Daria wind up having to spend more and more time together, Liz starts to see a softer side to Daria--she's funny, thoughtful, and likes the way Liz's gender presentation varies between butch and femme. Despite the evidence that Liz can't trust her, it's hard to keep hating Daria--and even harder to resist the chemistry between them.
Â
This page-turning, sexy, and delightfully funny rom-com celebrates queer culture, chosen family, and falling in love against your better judgment.
