She’s On To Something
A debut novel by Sandy Bailey
When hard-charging lesbian SEC prosecutor Jaye Brannigan stumbles onto a church-based investment scam draining millions from working-class families, she knows the case could make—or end—her career. Queer, outspoken, and already targeted by a hostile administration, Jaye follows the money from Boston to New Mexico, uncovering a web of religious patriarchy, financial fraud, and offshore secrets. As the danger mounts, so does the temptation to guard her heart—especially when a magnetic woman pulls her toward connection just as everything else threatens to unravel. A sharp, sapphic romantic thriller about justice, power, desire, and refusing to stay quiet in a world built to silence you.
Coming October 13, 2026
Also available to pre-order at all the usual places where you find great LGBTQ books!
Praise for She’s On To Something
“It's impossible not to love courageous butch Jaye Brannigan . . . a page-turner of the best sort."
– Ann Aptaker
Lambda Literary and Goldie award-winning author of the Cantor Gold series
“Bailey achieves what good literature strives for: a story that is contemporary, reflective, and satisfying, with the tension that keeps the reader totally engaged. I couldn't stop reading."
– Mimi Gonzalez
Poet, comic, and LGBTQ+ firebrand
“This book pulled me in, made me want to solve a crime, and go dancing with a sexy woman. I loved the representations of Butch/femmes, theys, and thems. A wonderfully queer cast of characters all felt like people I've met and want to know more about. Bailey's writing builds as much tension in financial crimes as the potential romance. A triumph!"
