A sapphic contemporary romance set in Rome, filled with longing and intrigue.
A modern reimagining of the Grimm fairytale, The Twelve Dancing Princesses.
Beautiful Clio Bonetti is the party girl daughter of an Italian CEO, descended from power, politics, and medieval popes. The eighteen-year-old wild child is forever escaping her cloistered home to party.
When Clio’s father offers a rich reward to find out how she gets out at night, Aida Visconti, a nineteen-year-old live-in maid, dresses up as a boy and follows her. Aida discovers ancient servant passages, catacombs, and lavish masquerade parties at a hidden Roman ruin.
Safe behind a mask, Aida dances the nights away with the stunning young heiress, tormented by the fact her family desperately needs the reward money. But how can she betray Clio, the girl she’s slowly falling for? A girl who knows her as Sebastian.
A modern take on the Grimm fairy tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses, this lesbian short-story romance is filled with longing, intrigue, and secrets as deep as the ruins the young women hide in.
