The Power of Lipstick

Harper Collins has always been the reliable one—the executive assistant who keeps everything running, the girlfriend who makes compromises, the woman who puts everyone else first.

But when her boyfriend Thomas criticises her for missing an important dinner, something cracks beneath the surface.

Then Nikita Voss walks back into her life.

Bold, magnetic and impossible to ignore, Nikita awakens a version of Harper that has been buried beneath years of responsibility, routine and expectation. What begins as friendship quickly becomes something far more complicated, forcing Harper to confront the uncomfortable truth that she’s been disappearing inside her own life.

As old certainties unravel and the lines between desire, freedom and identity begin to blur, Harper must decide what she truly wants—and whether she can find herself before losing everything else.
