Ex Marks the Spot
Alex Emery
Claire and Rue have one thing in they were both married to Jason. What should have been a punchline becomes a spark when a chance encounter at a night market leads to laughter, flirtation… and something dangerously close to longing.
Claire is polished, private, and used to control. Rue is vibrant, unapologetic, and intimately familiar with emotional chaos. Neither of them expected to feel anything but awkward around each other. But instead, they find comfort. Curiosity. Chemistry. And maybe—something worth risking everything for.
As their shared past becomes the foundation for an unexpected connection, Claire and Rue navigate desire, vulnerability, and the possibility of something real. But letting go of old ghosts means confronting new truths—and neither of them is used to saying what they really want.
Told with warmth, wit, and heat, Ex Marks the Spot is a slow-burn, high-tension f/f romance full of smart banter, aching intimacy, and all the moments in between. For fans of emotionally complex sapphic stories with heart and heat in equal measure.
