Partners

By Jae

Ice queen Dee has never before shared the top spot with anyone. Running a new company with her girlfriend, Austen, is taking some getting used to, especially since Austen doesn’t deem knocking heads together to be an acceptable leadership choice.

When disaster strikes at work and their management styles clash, they’re forced to figure out how to be as good together as business partners as they are lovers. It might take compromises and donut bribes, but they’re determined to find a way.

“Partners” is a short story sequel to Jae’s award-winning lesbian romance "Under a Falling Star."
