Brunch, Breakups & Blind Dates

Sam Duke was never supposed to become the problem again.

Not because Peyton Parker still wanted her. Not because their history was unfinished. And definitely not because Peyton had any interest in re-litigating one of the most formative relationships of her life over brunch.

But when Sam shows up with someone new-someone calm, unreadable, and completely unmoved by the group's usual chemistry-testing chaos-Peyton's carefully managed social ecosystem starts to fail in real time.

Cyndy Blake does not need to be optimized. She does not need approval. She does not seem particularly interested in surviving the Peyton Parker brunch circuit on anyone else's terms. Worst of all, she and Sam just... work.

For Peyton, that should be manageable. She is good at managing. She is good at reading rooms, understanding patterns, and identifying exactly where everyone fits. But this is different. Because when something fits without needing explanation, intervention, or strategy, it leaves Peyton facing a possibility she hates: maybe not everything important can be mapped before it happens.

Set in a queer social world built on exes, group chats, brunch politics, and affectionate chaos, Brunch, Breakups & Blind Dates is a sharp, emotionally layered sapphic romance about disruption, recalibration, and the deeply inconvenient reality of watching something make sense without you.

Perfect for readers who love:

* sapphic romance
* exes with history
* emotionally intelligent friend groups
* witty dialogue
* ensemble queer cast dynamics
* slow emotional shifts with strong social tension
