A lesbian detective's world turns upside down when she unexpectedly falls for an engaged straight girl.

First sight:
With a fast and forceful grip, Amber seized her. "Ma'am!" she called out. A sharp command that caused the thief to whirl on her heels. The moment Amber caught a glimpse of Nia's beautiful face, ... Amber, holding Nia's hand-once with a firm grip like a crocodile's bite-now trembled like the legs of a newborn fawn. Amber's eyes paused in time. Her heart...
First fright:
Amber pondered, "In fact, I don't even know why I'm scared-is it for me or for her? Am I scared that I'll fall for her, knowing I can't have her? Or am I scared that I'll ruin her marriage life, much like I ruined her happiness the other night? Honestly, I don't know. All I know is I'm scared."
...Amber, a fearless detective and workaholic-chasing criminals on Christmas Eve kind of workaholic-who prioritized her job above everything...
Nia, with eyes as beautiful as the Himalayan blue poppy, as delicate as dewdrops caught in the morning mist, and sparkling like the brightest Rigel star. As soft as cotton, her blond curls were. With a gentle breeze and sunshine, they would flow like a silk river and glow like a halo of spun gold. Even the slightest caress would make her soft, pinkish skin blush. With her moonlike smile, the sun itself forgot to shine. She was a sensitive angel, bearing a tender heart that cared deeply for the most bewitching melody of the world-the children's laughter.
This isn't a detective-chasing-criminal kinda story. No, it's not.
This one's a unique romance story with an unexpected lesbian crush, a gay married couple, a cute 4-year-old girl, many sweet moments, romantic cliffhangers, fantasy, and a little bit of action. I'm sure you'll love it!
I tried something new with my very first novel: Modern World Christmas theme with CASUAL dialogue & VIVID narration. English literature isn't my major (IT WFH), so feedback is welcome.
