Overview

Career climbing just took the oddest turn.

This funny opposites-attract lesbian romance digs up the awkward truth about what really matters in life.

Ambitious ice queen and corporate lawyer Felicity Simmons has spent her life focused on one thing: scuttling up the career ladder. She’s achingly close to taking charge of a media empire for her boss when she’s sent to investigate a South Bronx charity that helps homeless people’s pets.

Has the charity made off with her boss’s generous donation? And who on earth is that gorgeous soft-butch veterinarian who looks as if she could toss a Shetland pony over one shoulder? Not that Felicity has any interest in some opinionated Amazon or her adorable fleabag of a dog.

Felicity is quite sure she will not be distracted, thank you very much. She has a minor mystery to solve, a mentor to impress, and her life’s dream to fulfil. Even if a distraction might be exactly what she needs.

The Awkward Truth takes place during the last half of Lee Winter’s The Brutal Truth but can easily be read as a standalone story.

About Lee Winter

Lesfic author, genre hopper, twistiest of plot twisters

Welcome! I’m a full-time writer and part-time editor who was formerly an award-winning journalist and sub-editor bouncing around Australia for almost thirty years. I come late to the game at penning novels, never suspecting my non-fiction brain could jump into fiction easily.

It turns out I love it.

When not scribbling age gap and/or ice queen stories about lesbian cellist assassins, moody superheroes or investigative journalists, I wish I had some noble pursuits to list as my hobbies: Rescuing orphaned dogs. Running a Meals on Wheels service. Investigating which superfood is the most super.

In reality I can be found sleeping, weeding my garden with my partner, computer gaming and staring at my beloved bicycle, wondering what madness induced me to move to a suburb comprising 99.9 per cent hills, 0.1 per cent dales.

My spare time can also be spent looking thoughtfully at the horizon while frowning to incur writing inspiration to strike. When it does, rest assured more words and books about feisty and funny ice queens will issue forth in the future.
