Queer love gets a second chance in this steamy and sweet romance with a trapped-in-paradise love triangle twist.

A queer human rights lawyer with a shattered heart believes she’s found true love again—until a hidden past of devotion and deception threatens to break her all over again.

Ivy

I’ve been through love before—the kind that tears you apart, leaves you questioning everything. I had it all with my college girlfriend, and when it ended, I swore I’d never let myself fall that hard again. But here I am, years later, still yearning for that kind of connection, even though I know how much it can hurt.

Adam

Look at her: Ivy. My first love. I’ve always been here, always watching her chase after love and lose it. But I was never the right man for her—until now. When we matched on a dating app, I thought it must be fate. Convincing her might take some time.

Ivy

Just as I start to let my guard down, to open my heart to the possibility of something new, I find out there’s more to our story than I ever knew. Adam’s been hiding something from me, something that ties us together in ways I never imagined. His devotion to me is intense, but so is the betrayal I feel when I learn the truth. Now I’m left to figure out if I can forgive him—and if he can earn that forgiveness.

When Ivy Met Adam is more than just a love story. It’s about confronting the past, healing old wounds, and taking a chance on the future—even when it scares the hell out of you. Based loosely on the biblical story of Eve, this is a contemporary LGBTQ+ romance full of second chances, steamy moments, and the messy, beautiful complexities of love.
