The Wager

The Wager
by Joanne Starr

Best friends Janet and Heather have shared everything for nearly a decade — secrets, heartbreaks, late-night takeout, and a too-small apartment. What they've never shared is a bed.

After a drunken argument spirals out of control, Janet makes a reckless bet: she has one week to make Heather feel undeniable attraction. If she succeeds, Heather owes her a month of servitude. If she fails, Janet publicly admits defeat.

It's supposed to be a joke. A game. Another round in their endless competition.

But forced "practice dates" turn heated. Lingering touches feel different. A single kiss changes everything.

What begins as a playful wager ignites into something neither woman can ignore — a consuming desire that threatens to rewrite their friendship forever.

As the week comes to an end, the real stakes become clear. Was it just a game… or have they uncovered the love they've both been too afraid to name?

The Wager is a steamy best-friends-to-lovers sapphic romance filled with emotional tension, intense chemistry, and a guaranteed happy ending.
