Overview

Take one ice queen media-mogul boss, an assistant with a crush on her, throw in a truth bet, and as their secrets pour out in this slow-burn lesbian romance, neither woman will be the same again.

Australian crime reporter Maddie Grey is working the night shift, out of her depth in New York, miserable, and secretly crushing on her twice-married, media-mogul employer.

Elena Bartell is a brilliant, fierce, ice queen boss who eats failing newspapers for breakfast and believes to her core that everything would be much simpler if people told each other the whole, unvarnished truth.

As work takes them to Australia, Maddie is goaded into a brief, seemingly harmless bet with her enigmatic boss—where they can’t lie to each other. The bet backfires spectacularly as Elena realizes that the brutal truth might not be what she wanted after all.

A beautiful lesbian workplace romance about the lies we tell ourselves.

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.
