Downloading Between Files and Broken Hearts (Sapphic Hearts)

Some loves defy every expectation.

Susan Clarke, 48, has perfected the art of invisibility. Executive secretary, respected widow, controller of every detail in London's most prestigious law firm. Her carefully ordered life is her armor against a world that has already taken too much.

Then Victoria Prince walks through the office doors.

Twenty-eight, brilliant, and devastatingly confident, the new junior solicitor sees straight through Susan's professional facade. Victoria's flirtations are dangerous, her interest genuine, and her persistence is slowly unraveling every defense Susan has built since Helen's death three years ago.

When one explosive night changes everything between them, Susan must choose: retreat into the safe loneliness she's cultivated, or risk her heart on a love that society will never understand. Because loving Victoria means facing the whispers, the judgment, and her own deepest fear - that she's not worth loving at all.

But some souls recognize each other across any divide. And sometimes the most unexpected love is exactly what a broken heart needs to feel whole again.
