Overview

An age gap, work place romance full of hope and longing

One bad break up. Two best friends. Three reasons why they can’t be together.

Work hard, never play. That’s Aili Reiff’s motto for life. When she started her own daycare, she knew what sacrifices she would make. A family of her own, and a partner who could love her. Despite having a small crush on one of her teachers, Aili is confident no one would want anything romantic with her. It’s simple really—Aili’s too fat, she’s too work obsessed, and they work together. Why is Aili even considering this?

Birch Blackwood loves teaching the one year olds, and she’s madly also in love with her best friend and boss, Aili. With a tragic breakup in her past, Birch runs to Aili for support. When they end up kissing, Birch finally has hope that maybe Aili loves her too. But when Aili pulls those walls back up, Birch is left reeling with what to do next.

What will Aili sacrifice for a chance at love? And will Birch finally make Aili look?

About Eada Friesian

Eada Friesian is an author of snarky sapphic women who fall in love hard. She loves all the characters and relationships she gets to play with and the best friends she makes with each new book she writes. She fell in love with the genre years ago and could never leave it. Who would? Now that she’s authoring her own books, she hopes to bring a fresh flair to the sapphic book world.

Eada lives in the mountains, camping her life away with her partner and horde of animals. She has her family right by her side as she strives to live her best life authentically as an author, a parent, a spouse, and weird person. She loves the smell of campfire, the taste of a completely charred marshmallow for a s’more, and living off the land with very little people around her. Of course, none of this last part is true, because Eada is a pen name, and the identity of the person(s) behind her remain hidden.
