Nobody Needs to Know WLW (LGB TQ)

Nobody Needs to Know is an evocative WLW romance that delves into secrecy, self-discovery, and the bittersweet tension of love hidden in plain sight.

Harper Evans has always been good at keeping secrets. A rising star in her conservative small-town politics, she knows that appearances are everything. For years, she's suppressed the part of herself that doesn't fit the mold, pushing her dreams aside for the life her family and community expect her to lead. But everything changes when Ellie Monroe, a fiercely independent artist with a penchant for breaking rules, moves back to town.

Ellie, Harper's childhood best friend, has returned to start over after a messy breakup and a stalled art career. Her unapologetic confidence and rebellious charm are a stark contrast to Harper's carefully curated life, and Harper finds herself drawn to Ellie in ways she can't ignore-or explain away.

When a chance encounter turns into late-night conversations and stolen glances, Harper and Ellie can't deny the chemistry between them. But in a town where everyone knows everyone, and whispers spread like wildfire, they decide to keep their growing relationship a secret. What starts as an exhilarating escape quickly becomes a fragile balancing act as Harper wrestles with her public image and her private desires.

As their connection deepens, Harper is forced to confront the lies she's told herself and the truth she's been avoiding. When a shocking revelation threatens to expose them, she must decide whether to fight for the love she's found with Ellie-or lose her chance at happiness to keep her world intact.
