Depends on whether you want slow-burn discovery F/F romance or a sure-thing FFM erotic romance.
For strictly F/F, you'll want to read Turning Point, my first novel (and still the characters closest to my heart as they went through a lot of the same self-discovery I did).
If you're more into people who know what they want, but are not always on the same page when it comes to emotions, check out my FFM polyamorous romance, We Three. It's about the relationship that builds between Jess and Elena, both bi women, who sometimes include Elena's husband Eric in their fun, in and out of the bedroom.

My most recent release is We Fit (2022). It's a sequel, so there's a bit of the idea there that the characters in We Three had more story to share.
I also was inspired to include polyamory elements as there's been a lot of discussion in groups about the difference between swinging and polyamory, and the hunting and treatment of "unicorns." Jess, in We Three/We Fit could technically be called a unicorn, a single bisexual female who becomes involved with both a husband and wife. But the distinctions were many and I wanted to have the characters explore that. I didn't want to write scenes where they explicitly use the terms or argue the issues, but more where a problem comes up and they deal with it through communication and their love languages. The erotic parts are still really erotic, but I think I got more of the throuple's romance and love onto the page too.

Currently I am working on developing several novellas since I'm in the mood to try some shorter projects after getting nowhere on a novel-length story for NaNoWriMo.
