Renée Dahlia

A fake date… a real secret 

An invitation to her ex's wedding is just the icing on a crappy cake for burlesque dancer Yolande. Her ex ghosted her just as they were about to take the stage for their neo-burlesque act. Yolande’s friends at Seraph's Burlesque Club convince her that attending the wedding will show her ex that she's moved on. Only one problem - she just needs a date. 

Shy bartender Reiko has a secret, or two. She can't risk anyone discovering that her life as a penniless PhD student and bartender is a sham. And even though she's been in love with Yolande forever, when Yolande needs a plus-one to save face at her the wedding, Reiko knows any fantasy of romance is just that – a fantasy. Yolande will never notice the way Reiko looks at her. 

When the drama of the wedding reveals a spark of attraction between them, Reiko will have to risk her fake identity for the chance at true love.

‘Show Up’ is the first installment in the "Seraph’s Burlesque Club" – a series of lesbian romances set in a London burlesque club.

Show Up

From casual hook up… to something more?

Burlesque dancer Charlie Kent should be happy performing and hooking up with sexy people now that the pandemic is over, just like before. But now it feels empty. The audience always seems to be missing Elle - her friend-with-benefits. They were just casual, but Charlie now realises she wants more. Much more. But when Elle arrives at Seraph’s Burlesque Club on business, Charlie is not going to let this second chance go to waste. 

Elle’s interior design business has been booming since the pandemic with so much work she’s barely thought of the sexy-as-sin burlesque dancer who she used to hook up with…. except when she’s lonely all night. But she can’t be just friends anymore, so she stays away. When she is commissioned to refit Seraph's Burlesque Club, Elle bumps into Charlie, and all her best intentions go straight out of the perfectly dressed window. 

Elle must keep her professional reputation intact, and can’t allow her attraction to Charlie to derail her work and her need for love… . But what if she can have it all?
