To Love Violets for Their Thorns

To Love Violets for Their Thorns
By Rachel Sullivan

What if the love you lost walked back into your life—on a sapphic reality dating show?

Elly Straus thought she was ready for love again. Years after her fiancé walked out, she’s finally putting herself out there—on a sapphic reality dating show. Eager to spend weeks swooning in a Spanish villa, Elly's hoping for flirtation, fireworks, and maybe even a second chance at happiness. She doesn’t expect a surprise mid-season twist that brings in new contestants—including her ex-fiancé.

Nora Comstock has spent the last few years healing from losing her dad. When her friends sign her up for a sapphic dating show airing during Madrid’s Pride festival, she says yes—her dad would want her to be happy. But nothing prepares her for the gut punch of seeing Elly again.

Forced to face the heartbreak they never quite got over, Elly and Nora must decide: breathe fresh life into an old love or try again with someone new?
