AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'What if the story didn’t have to end? We give you the after happily-ever-after for eleven lesbian romances.

'Nine best-selling authors have come together to imagine what happened after the happily-ever-after in some of Ylva’s most popular lesbian books.

'Discover the irresistible magic of the morning after, or the month after, or even years later. What happens when it’s not just about discovering new love, but letting love settle a little? What are these passionate lovers, fighters, executives, and explorers up to now?

'These charming, funny, and entertaining short stories can each be read as standalone pieces to whisk you into new and different worlds…or immerse you in universes you already know and love, and can’t wait to revisit.'

Love Is Not Nothing, Lee Winter , single work novella crime

'Requiem hadn’t meant to care. Hadn’t wanted to fall in love. She didn’t do love. But life without Alison had seemed so insubstantial. Bleak. Empty. So she went back for her.

'It’s now been two years since Australia’s top cellist and secret underworld assassin Natalya “Requiem” Tsvetnenko stood in the rain, faced her biggest terror, and asked her “little mouse”, Alison Ryan, to move to Europe with her.

'What has happened since? Does Requiem still burn to hunt? Has she been tamed by love? Was her prediction right that they could never work out; that they would implode before too long? How could two such different people ever last?

'In a single, powerful day in Vienna, all their doubts are faced and the truth seeps into the light.'

All Wrapped Up, G. Benson , single work novella

'Who doesn’t love a birthday party? Especially a toddler’s. There’s sugar, balloons, games—all the makings for fun; that is unless it’s the first toddler birthday party you’ve ever planned in your life.

'It can’t be that hard, Anna Foster decides; and when she’s decided something, that’s it. The ones she attended as a guest were a blast, and surely there’s nothing that over organisation, a checklist or three, and a Type A personality can’t fix, right? Though the smirk her mother keeps throwing her way is a little off-putting.

'Maybe four checklists would be better. Or maybe a glass of wine.'
