Lea Norvik’s The Executive Is Out Now

Lea Norvik launches her new Private Terms series with The Executive, an adult sapphic contemporary romance about attraction, independence, power — and what happens when two women who are accustomed to defining their own lives discover that desire is the easy part.

Horse breeder Lil Holt knows exactly what she wants from her life at Holt Ridge. When Victoria Hales, the polished and formidable CEO of Hales Leisure & Development, arrives prepared to pay full asking price for one of Lil’s young mares, she should be the perfect buyer. Lil refuses to sell to her anyway.

That should be the end of their connection. Instead, Lil finds herself looking for another reason to see Victoria, while Victoria can’t stop thinking about the blunt horsewoman who refuses to be impressed by status, asks uncomfortable questions, and seems to notice far too much.

The Executive opens Private Terms, a new linked romance series following Lil through relationships with powerful, complicated women — while the horses, family, friendships and everyday work of Holt Ridge remain the steady center of her world.

The Executive is now published.
