Praise

First Step is a deeply moving story about courage, vulnerability, and self-acceptance. Claire’s first night at The Glass Heel is written with such tenderness that I felt her every heartbeat. The connection with Elena is both sensual and affirming, showing how love can help us embrace who we truly are. Emotional, lyrical, and unforgettable. Waiting to read more books from the author.

First Step is a beautiful, heartfelt read about finding the courage to show up as yourself. Claire’s first night out as her true self could have been written with nerves and fear alone, but instead the story shines with tenderness, desire, and hope. What I loved most is that this isn’t just a romance, it’s also a story of self-acceptance. Claire doesn’t leave the club “fixed” by love. She leaves stronger because she finally chooses herself. It’s tender, erotic, and empowering, and it leaves you with the kind of warmth that lingers long after you’ve closed the book

That was the number that came to me—one novella for every weekend in a year. I laughed when I said it out loud. Am I really doing this? Forty-eight? But even as I asked the question, I knew the answer. I had...
