The Lesbian Clause

Seven rules. One fake-dating contract. And a viral kiss that ruins everything.

Vera Ashford survives on absolute control. As a top-tier strategy director at a cutthroat New York ad agency, she schedules her emotions, color-codes her life, and strictly dates safe, predictable men.

Enter Indigo Marr. The agency’s incendiary, leather-jacket-wearing creative genius. Indigo takes up too much space, drinks espresso out of ceramic cups, and looks at Vera like she’s a structural flaw just waiting to be dismantled.

They can’t stand each other.

But when a multi-million-dollar fitness account forces them to co-lead, the friction hits a boiling point. An explosive, furious kiss outside a late-night bar is caught on camera and leaked to the entire industry. To save the account—and their careers—they have to play along.

The terms are simple: A fake public relationship. Strict boundaries. And absolutely no sex.

But the contract is no match for shared hotel beds in Miami, sweaty gym sessions, and a magnetic attraction that threatens to rewire them both. Indigo refuses to be any woman's secret. Vera is terrified of stepping into the light. And as the line between performance and reality dissolves, Vera has to decide if she's willing to burn down her perfectly architected life for the one woman who makes her feel alive.

The Lesbian Clause is a steamy, high-angst, open-door sapphic romance featuring fierce workplace rivals, a fake-dating contract, and an intense late-in-life awakening.
