Downloading Galentine's with Benefits: Sapphic Slow Burn Romance

When Tambi Knight is dumped three days before Valentine’s Day, she doesn’t expect her best friend Krista Morrow—the steady, soil-stained landscape designer with a patient smile—to offer the single most impractical solution: date each other for two weeks as an experiment. Tambi agrees as satire; Krista says yes while her chest quietly breaks because she has been in love with Tambi for years.

The trial that was supposed to be a palate-cleanser turns into midnight confessions, accidental first kisses, and a garden contract that ties their professional futures together. Secret calls, a protective mother, and a rival developer threaten the fragile trust they’re building, and pretense quickly demands truth.

Now the stakes are higher than a broken heart: their careers, their chosen family, and the delicate possibility of a life where both want the same thing.

Will the experiment end as planned—or will they learn learn that sometimes you have to risk everything to let love root?
