Greta Gets the Girl - by Melissa Marr (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr comes a steamy tale of forbidden romance.

NY publishing is Greta Clayborne's life, and she's on a high since she edited a hot new series that was just adapted for television. In her career, everything is on track. On the relationship front, there are no relationships, not since she had her heart broken. Now Greta uses a dating app, Sappho's Kiss Society, for casual connections.

That's all the tattooed taciturn Lee was supposed to be when Greta invites the enigmatic woman to her hotel room, expecting to never see her again.

Kaelee has more secrets than truths. She changed her name, finished a couple degrees, and just sold her book in a deal that will replace the money she's spent on her tiny studio during grad school. Her life is writing, teaching, and too much time at the gym. But after she meets "Marie" on her app, she can't get the curvaceous woman out of her mind.

Long distance chat lead to another meeting, and the two discover that they both want more. Maybe. The possibility of something real seems in reach--until Kaelee walks into her meeting with her editor only to find that woman she's starting to fall for is her editor. Now Greta's career and reputation are at risk, but when Kaelee's wealthy and influential family shows up to put a stop to the "embarrassment" of writing sapphic fiction, Greta has to decide what matters more: her heart or her career.
