Synopsis

Regan O’Riley has just about given up hope that she will ever find a woman into shy, geeky programmers. She yearns for a connection, but can’t seem to make the first move. Mel Raines knows all about making moves. After a childhood under the thumb of her alcoholic father, she avoids intimacy by drowning herself in fiery, fleeting encounters with strangers.

When Regan and Mel meet in a straight bar, of all places, their chemistry is unmistakable. Before they can begin to explore their new relationship, Mel’s world is rocked when a close friend is a victim in a shooting. Regan suggests they take a road trip to escape reality for a little while, and Mel is only too ready to shake things up. Together they embark upon a physical and emotional journey where they discover that breaking free of old habits may be the only way to change your life.

Chapter One

“I hate goddamn straight bars. ” Regan took a swig of her beer and glowered at a frat-boy type walking by their table hand-in-hand with a vapid-looking girl.

From the proliferation of pool tables and dartboards in the lung-burningly smoky bar, and nary an arcade game in sight, Regan knew that she wasn’t amongst her own kind. She sensed her companions’ sighs before she heard them.

“Yes, Regan,” Dan said, raising his beer and his eyes to the ceiling. “We’re perfectly aware of your aversion to heterosexual mating grounds. Now be quiet. ”

“Thanks. I appreciate the sympathy. ”

Dan grinned at her, and Regan couldn’t help but smile back at the warmth in his eyes. “I tease because I love,” he said.

Adam leaned across the table. “In a minute I’m gonna tease  ’cause I’m annoyed. ” He turned to Dan and gave him a serious look. “Didn’t I tell you that this place was going to offend her tender lesbian sensibilities?”

Dan stroked his chin, nodding thoughtfully. “Right you were, too. And you know how I hate to offend anything that’s tender and lesbian. ”
