If you’re craving high-stakes political intrigue with a sapphic twist, *The Fixer* and its sequel *Chaos Agent* by Lee Winter deliver a smart, gripping ride. While the romance is subtle and more of a quiet thread than the main act, the tension is electric.

The heart of these novels lies in their morally gray, endlessly fascinating characters. Michelle Hastings is the ultimate ice queen: calculated, powerful, and nearly impossible to read. Then there’s Eden Lawless, the chaos agent with a stubborn sense of justice and a knack for getting under Michelle’s skin. Their dynamic simmers beneath layers of secrets, strategy, and razor-sharp dialogue.

These books are less about grand romantic gestures and more about trust earned through fire, betrayal, and the messiness of loyalty. They are complex women navigating a dangerous world, challenging each other, and somehow finding something like connection in the wreckage.

A perfect pick for readers who love character-driven novels with just a hint of sapphic heat and a whole lot of heart beneath the ice.
