Our First Book is Here: Dangerous Illusion by e.r. hawthorne
Be among the first 15 members to sign up and receive a signed copy by E.R. Hawthorne!
Valerie Bradley has always lived by three words: Prim. Proper. Professional. Fresh out of training and armed with a sharp mind and indomitable willpower, she’s ready to prove herself at the CIA—even if it means suppressing every vulnerable part of herself to fit in with the boys’ club of Langley.
What she doesn’t expect is the mysterious woman across the street from her new home.
Luna is captivating, elusive, and clearly hiding something. Valerie knows better than to get involved, but when quiet glances turn into a tense game of proximity, she finds herself falling into something far more treacherous than any mission she could be assigned. Because Luna isn’t just her neighbour and confidante—she might be the enemy.
Set during the height of Cold War paranoia, Dangerous Illusion is a heart-racing blend of spy thriller and forbidden romance. With secrets on both sides of the street, Valerie must decide what’s more dangerous: the mission—or falling in love.
The Friend Group You Opt Into
This community is for LGBTQ+ women who are done searching for friendship in bars and done trying to fit in with straight spaces.
The L Edition is a monthly book-and-community membership that turns reading into a standing invitation to belong. We believe that reading is just the beginning.
Why Join?
Finding your people as an LGBTQ+ woman can be surprisingly hard.
You may have a great life, a career you’re proud of, and friends you love—but you still want more women in your world who just get it...
Women who are smart and curious.
Independent and grounded.
Interested in real conversation—not just small talk.
