Shauna
Setting up a little pop-up table in front of The Paper Realm bookstore had been a way to get in some new customers for my baking business and celebrate today’s tiny holiday.
Halfway through the day, though, Vincent stopped by my table.
They were tall and academic, with a narrow waist and a long coat, looking every ounce a delicious professor.
Turns out, their sister owns the bookshop, and Vincent likes my trifle enough to ask me on a date.
I have to say yes, but can it lead to something real, too?
Booking Dessert is a 1,000-word LGBTQ+ instalove romance between a hot academic and their new curvy baker. You can expect flirty banter, opposites attract, and sizzling eye contact.
Echo Lark (she/they) is a queer writer of LGBTQ+ love stories, where all the focus is on the character’s journey. They’re currently writing short romances where characters fall in love fast and follow where their chemistry leads. There’s a mix of sweet and spicy stories, so be prepared to embrace each character/couple!
Echo grew up on fanfiction, so if you’re a fellow fanfic reader, you might recognize the fun character cameos, shameless fluff, and smut that can last for chapters at a time (for certain couples!).
Whether it’s sexy cowboys, sweet pet parents, or found family, you can find your next favorite slice of queer joy in one of Echo’s books.
