Sapphic fiction about belonging, identity and love
Versions of Us (Ylva, September 2026)
Heat, ambition, and power are the backdrop to this rivals-to-lovers lesbian romance about reinvention and finding the courage to let someone see who you really are.
A decade after watching her career implode, ice-cold advertising strategist Sienna Margot returns to Hong Kong to lead a high-stakes pitch that could restore her reputation and secure the promotion she’s spent years chasing.
Charlie Blake was once the advertising industry’s golden girl. But after a crisis halts her meteoric rise, she’s struggling to be the woman she once was. Now guarded and professionally vulnerable, she desperately needs to prove she still belongs.
Forced to work together, the women’s professional rivalry soon gives way to an attraction neither sees coming. But as career, desire, and the ghosts of the past collide, they must decide what they’re really fighting for: ambition or love.

Frankie Alexander writes sapphic fiction about identity, belonging, and love.
Her novels follow women who appear to have everything under control, yet quietly find themselves questioning the lives they've built and the people they've become. Drawn from different worlds and shaped by different experiences, her characters are united by a search for somewhere and someone that feels like home.
She's interested in the moments that change us almost without us noticing: when someone understands us more completely than we expected, when a relationship asks us to let go of an old version of ourselves, or when we realise that belonging starts with being honest about who we are.
Set against vividly realised places where landscape, memory, and community become part of the story, her fiction is known for emotionally nuanced characters, understated prose, and romances that unfold with patience, warmth, and emotional depth.
At its heart, her work is about finding the courage to be seen, and discovering that love can sometimes bring us closer to ourselves than we ever thought possible.
