Downloading Cellmate Secrets: The Butterfly Tattoo: A Sapphic Prison Romance - Featuring Cheating & Love Gone Wrong

This sapphic prison romance explores themes of domestic violence, drug addiction, and the struggles faced by incarcerated women. This story is a detailed example of how people who have been hurt often go on to hurt other people. However, others are able to use their pain to find a more positive purpose.

Gabrielle “Gap” Carter, hardened, yet beautiful, finds herself locked up on a three year bid, after a botched bank robbery, due to opiate addiction. On the bus ride to state prison, she meets a butch shot caller, Scarlett “Scar” Ramirez, who just did twelve years and is returning on a patrol violation.

The two hit it off immediately. They fall in love during their three months together in reception and classification. Sadly, the two lovers are separated when they are classified into different units. Now, they will only see each other outside of the unit - in classes, at chow, or in the yard.

In her new dorm, Gap is assigned to clean the showers with Dolores “Dolly” Johnson, a tattoo artist with a life bid and a dark past. Soon, an attraction blooms. As Scar becomes violent and possessive, Gap falls more deeply in love with Dolly. The fallout may have deadly consequences. Can the lovers escape Scar's wrath as she wreaks havoc upon their lives?
