Overview

Strait-laced, middle-school math teacher Laura made certain to specify “no strippers” at her bachelorette party—but then her bridesmaids hired a tarot reader. She has no interest in woo-woo, fortune-telling nonsense… Yet Laura finds herself questioning what she’s always known to be true as she deals with the heartbreak the cards foretold. And then there’s the woman Laura can’t get out of her head—the sweet, spunky tarot reader herself.  Free-spirited Fiona has always adhered to her golden rule: never get involved in her tarot clients’ problems. But enter serious-eyed, skeptical Laura, and the disaster she’s sure is coming on the woman’s wedding day, and Fiona wonders if rules weren’t meant to be broken.  Against the romantic backdrop of the Venice Beach canals, these two women discover that despite their opposing perspectives, they may have more in common than they realize—and the cards may have more surprises in store for them.  In the Cards is a sweet, queer romantic short story/novelette of 10,000 words, with a mild heat level and a happily-for-now ending
