Serafina

By Madeleine Taylor and Lise Gold

A reason to live, weeks before she has to vanish

Hidden away in a luxury Monaco hotel, Serafina Valenti is the star witness in a case against one of Italy's most powerful criminal families-her own. Until she testifies, her world is locked doors, armed guards, and the certainty that the people she once loved would rather see her dead than hear her speak.

Then she meets Reba Vance. American, ex-army, and paid to be discreet, invisible, and incurious, the hotel's night concierge isn't supposed to look at Serafina the way she's started looking at her. At thirty-one, Serafina has never been touched - one kiss, at sixteen, and a promise to her mother that ended it. But her mother is dead, and there's nobody left to disappoint.

What do you do with a love that has an expiry date - protect yourself, or take every night you're given?

Set against the glittering coastline of Monaco, the French countryside, and the deadly reach of the 'Ndrangheta, Serafina is a slow-burn sapphic romantic suspense about forbidden desire, family loyalty, and two women discovering that freedom means more than simply escaping.
