Trying to figure out the rules of her first lesbian relationship is a difficult task for Callie Emerson. She and her lover worked long and hard on coming up with a set of rules that both of them could live with. But her lover is having a very hard time keeping her end of the bargain. Regan Manning and her lover have a very traditional relationship, built on a foundation of monogamy. Or so Regan thought. She’s devastated when she learns the truth, and she’s unwilling to forgive or forget.

Cheating partners brought Callie and Regan together. Not as lovers, but as friends supporting each other through tough times. They both come to realize that they could be more than friends. But they each have to get past their insecurities before they can try to take that leap.

It’s not easy for either of them: the path to true love rarely is. But their friendship can be a bridge to commitment if only they’ll let it.
