Where understanding feels like home.
Dakota Drake doesn't explain herself. She lives comfortably in the in-between-confident, grounded, and uninterested in labels that never quite fit. Hawkins suits her: a town that notices people without demanding definitions.
Elliot Emerson is new to town-and to themselves in ways they're still learning how to name. A gender studies professor at the Braintrust, Elliot understands theory far better than vulnerability, especially when it comes to desire.
Their connection begins quietly. A fundraiser. Shared conversations. Small moments that refuse to stay small.
As Hawkins looks on-warm, curious, and entirely unbothered-Dakota and Elliot navigate attraction, identity, and the space between expectation and truth. What unfolds isn't about fitting into a box, but choosing intimacy without apology.
Soft Edges-Open Hands is a tender, affirming sapphic romance about presence, consent, and the courage to let someone see you as you are-no explanations required.
- A standalone novel in the Hawkins series
- Gender-fluid and lesbian representation
- Slow-burn, emotionally grounded romance
- A town that welcomes love in all its forms
