French Kisses — Lou Morgan

Bea is heartbroken. Her husband has run off with a much younger woman and her friends seem to have abandoned her, leaving her a stranded British expat in France. She meets Chloe by chance one night when she stumbles accidentally into a gay bar and although Bea is straight, she has the brilliant idea of faking a lesbian relationship, as a way of eclipsing her husband's midlife crisis and exciting attention back from her friendship group. She is even willing to pay Chloe. The fake relationship goes well and soon starts to feel more real to Bea than her old life. She finds out her husband is having a baby with his new wife and realises how much she wants a family. When a man comes on the scene, she is forced to examine her true feelings and make a choice: has she found real love with Chloe, and does this mean her dreams of having children are over? A spicy sapphic fake-dating romance set in dreamy Paris, perfect for fans of Clayre Lydon, Alexandria Bellefleur and Meryl Wilsner.
