The World Within

Lila's life is almost perfect. She's finally opened her luxury sex shop and wellness center in a rehabilitated ancient temple. The painted faces are lining up to buy the new alchemical vibrators and unwind in the spa and baths. And she gets to work with her two best friends every day. So why is there an empty place in her chest? Enter Avisse, the delivery woman, a single mom with a quick smile and eyes that flash from hard to soft in an instant. There's a spark, and a kiss, and a promise of dinner next time Avisse is in town. Until then, Lila's got her hands full with the shop, not to mention the mystic portal she's discovered in the temple basement. What lies beyond will turn their lives—and the World Within—inside out. This steamy sapphic fantasy romance stars a transfeminine heroine and includes meditation magic, alchemical trans healthcare, and family lost & found. The World Within is intended for an adult audience. Content warnings include explicit, consensual sex scenes, occasional dysphoria, societal transphobia, and child peril. It's set in the Weirdwater universe and includes some characters from The Living Waters and Unpainted but is meant as a standalone.
