About this title

Synopsis

Ingrid Voss lives by control. In business she is decisive. In love she prefers certainty. Her relationship with Nora has rules, even when those rules leave wounds neither of them fully name.

The night Ingrid collides with Sasha in a restaurant should have meant nothing. A ruined blouse. A sharp apology. An unexpected conversation. Instead, it unsettles something Ingrid has kept sealed for years.

Sasha does not fit into any existing structure. What begins as disruption slowly becomes confrontation.

Nora has spent years loving a woman who keeps part of herself locked away. Sasha refuses locked doors. As tension builds, all three are forced into a level of honesty none of them planned.

Two x Three is a sapphic relationship drama set within the Sterne Universe. It explores negotiated intimacy, attachment wounds, and the possibility that connection does not have to end when it becomes complicated. For these three women, the hardest choice may not be who to leave, but how to stay.

About the Author

C.R. Hale writes dark, intimate fiction driven by psychological realism and the quiet tension between power and vulnerability. Hale's work explores how desire - in all its forms - alters the trajectories of ordinary lives, leaving subtle echoes across time. Each story stands alone yet belongs to a larger constellation of human connection, shaped by emotional precision and the belief that intimacy changes us in ways we cannot undo.
