Forged in Deception
A sensational morally gray lesbian romantic suspense about an icy museum curator and an openhearted art forger.
Lucia Rossi is a gifted, intuitive, emotional artist who forges classical masterpieces and carries burdens that were never meant to be hers.
Enter highly controlled, brilliant museum art curator Penelope Blackwell who can practically taste colors and chases down the truth like it’s her calling.
When a stolen masterpiece sets them on a collision course, buried betrayals force the women to choose between loyalty and truth, and vengeance and love. Can they reach a fragile future they never thought was possible?
Sabrina Blaum writes emotionally intense sapphic romance where connection isn’t easy—and rarely simple.
Her books explore power, restraint, and what happens when two people who should know better choose each other anyway. Across contemporary, suspense, and fantasy settings, her work is driven by complex characters, past choices that don’t stay buried, and relationships that demand more than either person wants to give.
Originally from Germany, she has lived in the United States since 2006.
