Lambda Literary award winner and national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur returns with a steamy sapphic rom-com about a quiet bookseller and a romance novel cover model who agree to a modern-day marriage of convenience...
Tansy Adams' greatest love is her family's bookstore, passed down from her late father. But when it comes to actual romance... Tansy can't get past the first chapter. Tired of her stepfamily's questions about her love life, Tansy invents Gemma, a fake girlfriend inspired by the stunning cover model on a bestselling book. They'll never actually meet, so what's the harm in a little fib? Yet when real-life Gemma crosses Tansy's path, her white lie nearly implodes.
Gemma van Dalen is a wild child, the outcast of her wealthy family, and now the latest heir to Van Dalen Publishing. But the title comes with one tiny condition: she must be married in order to inherit. When Gemma discovers a beautiful stranger has been pretending to date her for months, she decides to take the charade one step further-and announces their engagement.
Gemma needs a wife to meet the terms of her grandfather's will and Tansy needs money to save her struggling bookstore. A marriage could be mutually beneficial, if they can fool everyone into thinking it's a love match. Unexpected sparks fly under forced proximity as Tansy and Gemma play the role of affectionate fiancées, and suddenly the line between convenient arrangement and real feelings begins to blur. But the scheming Van Dalen family won't give up the company without a fight, and Gemma and Tansy's newfound happiness might get caught in the fallout...

LOVELOVELOVELOVEEEED IT
The Fiancée Farce is exactly what it promises to be — a queer romcom that’s equal parts ridiculous, tender, and quietly sincere. Alexandria Bellefleur takes the classic “fake relationship” trope and fills it with heart, humor, and characters who feel beautifully human in all their messiness. Tansy and Gemma have the kind of chemistry that sneaks up on you — not just sparks and banter (though there’s plenty of that), but those small, grounding moments that make you believe in them. It’s soft and funny and sometimes a little absurd, but it knows exactly what it’s doing. What I liked most is how Bellefleur writes joy without ignoring pain. Both women carry the weight of expectation, loneliness, and self-doubt, but the story never punishes them for wanting more — it lets them have it. It’s comfort in book form, a warm hug of a story that also makes you laugh out loud and maybe tear up once or twice. Predictable? Sure. But it wears that predictability like a promise — that no matter how messy things get, love can still be a little bit magical.
