Book Blurb

She’s taking back what was stolen. Love is a bonus.

All I wanted was romance…

One reckless choice destroys not only Sarah Clayborn’s life, but nearly costs her career as assistant to the city’s most powerful player. She’s lost her unborn child, her twin brother’s admiration, and any shred of decency her British mother instilled in her.

But I haven’t lost everything….

To cope, Sarah creates “Angel.” She’s the one who finds trouble. She’s the one who seduces half the world’s rabble-rousers.

She’s the one who meets Luca Blackbourne.

She was never supposed to be a part of it…

Sarah’s encounter with Luca was supposed to be a one-time affair. But when she returns to work Monday morning and discovers Luca hanging around?

It’s not pretty.

Why the hell does she want me so much!

So begins their tenuous courtship. Whether reading between the lines or the sheets, Luca has no idea what Sarah has been through. Nor does Sarah know to what extent Luca will fight for those she loves.

“What do you want, Angel?” she always asks me.

What does Sarah want? Choice. A future. A sense of belonging in a world too cruel to bear.

To be empowered.

The Assistant is a sapphic retelling of Empowered by Cynthia Dane. It deals with some heavy subjects in the past such as miscarriage and toxic relationships.
