King Love: A contemporary sapphic romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780975611142)

Sometimes the only way to be yourself is to be someone else...

Callie Johnson has everything she needs in her curated safety bubble: her family, her home and her job at Brisbane's hottest drag king bar, Club Sappho. All that's missing is what she secretly craves most of all: love. When she notices a beautiful woman turning up at the club each week to watch her perform, she feels compelled to meet her. But offstage, Callie can't summon the confidence and swagger of her drag king alter ego.

Maya Freeman has decided this is going to be the year she finally lives in her authenticity. She's ready to tackle her perfectionist and overthinking tendencies, celebrate her sexuality and find love. She might even try reviving those long-buried performing dreams. So when Maya finds herself returning to Club Sappho to watch a charismatic drag king, she has an uncanny sense they're destined to be part of her new life.

As Callie and Maya step out of their comfort zones and into each other's, they soon discover that falling in love has a way of making you face who you really are. But when one is scared to step into the spotlight and the other is scared to drop the act, can they find the happy ever after they both long for?

King Love is a heartwarming lesbian romance about love, self-expression, gender and performance.
