Soft Girl, Hard Edge

Free with Kindle Unlimited

She made me want to be louder.

Jordan Lee built her entire brand on being soft. Warm lighting, gentle voice, curated vulnerability — that’s what 180,000 BookTok followers signed up for. She talks about romance novels like they’re sacred texts. She hasn’t raised her voice in years. And she definitely, absolutely, under no circumstances should be developing an obsession with the cocky fitness influencer her brand just paired her with.

Riley Sharp built her entire brand on being seen. A million followers. Thirst traps. The kind of confidence that makes straight women question everything. She wakes up at 4 a.m. to be #fly and she’s never once let anyone see behind the performance — because behind it, there’s a woman terrified that without the body and the bravado, no one will stay.

When a supplement brand pairs them for a cross-platform collab, the chemistry is instant and catastrophic. Their audiences ship it before they do. Fan edits go viral. Jordan can’t stop watching Riley’s gym videos at midnight. Riley can’t stop thinking about the way Jordan’s voice cracks when she talks about books that made her feel seen.

What starts as content becomes confession. What starts as a brand deal becomes the most unscripted thing either of them has ever done. And when the internet decides their love story belongs to everyone, both women must choose: perform the relationship for the algorithm — or protect the only real thing they’ve ever had.
