Two strangers. One booking error. The honeymoon suite they’ll have to share.
Harper Vance doesn’t do spontaneous. As a Chicago corporate lawyer who color-codes her spreadsheets, she had her life perfectly planned—until her fiancé dumped her via email three days before their wedding. Now she’s alone in Hawaii, stuck in a honeymoon suite she can’t afford, pretending the ice in her heart isn’t starting to crack.
Riley Chen doesn’t do commitment. As a freelance photographer who’s never stayed anywhere longer than six months, she lives for chaos and collects bad decisions like souvenirs—including booking the same room as a stranger after her own relationship imploded. One look at the uptight woman claiming her suite, and Riley knows exactly what she needs: loosening up.
When a resort booking error forces them to share the most romantic room on the island, they strike an impossible deal: fake a honeymoon, split the perks, and absolutely, definitely, under no circumstances catch feelings.
But between couples’ massages that get too real, a coconut mascot named Gary who judges their choices, and a chemistry that ignites every time they touch, the lines between performance and truth start to blur. Harper’s carefully constructed walls are crumbling. Riley’s running shoes are getting dusty.
And somewhere between the fake vows and the real kisses, they’ll both have to decide: Is this just vacation magic? Or the real thing?
Getting Lei’d is a full-length sapphic romance featuring two women who are absolutely terrible at following their own rules, a judgmental coconut, one glorious bed, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Contains explicit content and is intended for readers 18+.

Chapter One: The Booking Error
Riley Chen had made a lot of questionable decisions in her thirty-one years on this planet.
There was the time she’d gotten a tattoo of a pineapple on her hip after three margaritas in Cabo. The semester she’d dropped out of art school to follow a mediocre DJ named Zephyr across Europe. The ill-advised pixie cut of 2019. And, most recently, the decision to book a week at Hawaii’s most romantic couples’ resort despite the fact that she was now—as of approximately forty-seven hours ago—aggressively, dramatically single.
“I’m sorry,” the woman behind the front desk said, her customer-service smile beginning to show cracks. “But we simply don’t have any other rooms available.”
“Right.” Riley rubbed her temples. “Because it’s Valentine’s week.”
“Because it’s Valentine’s week,” the woman—her name tag read ‘Keoni’—confirmed with the particular weariness of someone who had already had this conversation seventeen times today. “We’re at full capacity. The Mana Loa Honeymoon Villa is the only room available, and according to our system, it’s already been assigned to both you and—” She glanced at her screen. “A Ms. Harper Vance.”
Riley looked to her left, where the other claimant to her vacation stood with the rigid posture of someone who had never relaxed a day in her life.
Harper Vance was—objectively speaking—gorgeous.
Tall. Dark-haired. Wearing a blazer despite the Hawaiian heat, like she’d been plucked directly from a law firm and dropped onto the island against her will. Her makeup was flawless, her posture was perfect, and the expression on her face suggested she would rather swim back to the mainland than share breathing space with Riley.
“This is absurd,” Harper said, her voice clipped and precise. “I booked this room three months ago. I have a confirmation number. I have email receipts. I have a very detailed spreadsheet—”
“I’m sure you do,” Riley interrupted, because she was tired and jet-lagged and absolutely not in the mood to listen to someone list their organizational accomplishments. “But I also have a confirmation number. And I also don’t want to share a honeymoon suite with a stranger. So maybe we can just figure this out like adults?”
Harper’s perfectly sculpted eyebrow rose approximately three millimeters. “I was attempting to figure this out. You’re the one who arrived late.”
“My flight was delayed.”
“Perhaps if you’d left more buffer time—”
“Perhaps if you’d—” Riley stopped herself. Took a breath. Reminded herself that committing murder in a hotel lobby would probably void her travel insurance. “Okay. Let’s start over.”
She stuck out her hand.
“Riley Chen. I’m a photographer. I’m recently single. I’m here to drink mai tais and pretend my life isn’t falling apart. Nice to meet you.”
Harper stared at her outstretched hand like it might be contaminated.
“Harper Vance,” she said finally, giving Riley’s hand the briefest possible shake. “I’m a lawyer. I’m also recently single. And I don’t drink mai tais.”
“What do you drink?”
“Regret, mostly.”
Riley blinked. Had that been… a joke? From the ice queen in the blazer?
Before she could respond, Keoni cleared her throat.
“Ladies, I understand this is frustrating. But I have a proposal…”
