The Lying Bride and the Same-Sex Marriage Debate Vol. 1

Shigisawa Rei has accepted that her life is different from most--while her friends are settling down with families, she's devoted herself to her work as a gay woman in a world that doesn't always feel built for her dreams. But everything changes when she bumps into Goto Saya, a former coworker who once captured her heart. Petite, charming, and ever-popular, Saya seems like she's walked straight out of Rei's past fantasies--except this time, she's asking for Rei's help after a falling out with her husband. Opening her home to Saya should have been simple, but with each passing moment, old feelings bubble to the surface, and Rei finds herself trapped between desire and restraint. Can she resist the pull of forbidden love, or will she risk everything for the woman who was always out of reach? Love, longing, and emotional turbulence collide in this captivating girls' love series where rekindled flames burn brightest.
