Lady Raine Rivers is a noble adventurer stepping into the political spotlight—but beneath the glamour and fame, she’s quietly burning out. With her final Arena spectacle approaching and the weight of expectation pressing in, she turns to her closest friend, fashion designer Talia Merrow, for comfort, clarity, and connection.
Over the course of one summer evening, they share a private fashion show, a decadent dinner, and a night of playful intimacy. As Raine dreams of using her fame for good, and Talia offers enchantments, wisdom, and unwavering care, both must confront what their bond truly means—and what it might become.
Best Friends With Benefits is a sapphic fantasy short story of queer joy, emotional safety, and chosen family—Book 0.5 in the Hawk and Flame Saga.
