Room 312 (en Inglés) - Tatiana Vixen Reyes

From the BookFest 2026 3rd Place-Winning Romance Series

The Heel's Nest isn't listed on booking sites. It's whispered about-a hidden hotel above Chicago's most secretive nightclub, a sanctuary curated for trans women by the enigmatic Echo.

Lena Marquez, travel journalist, arrives to write about it.

She doesn't expect Adrian Vega-the concierge with careful boundaries and a gaze that lingers just a moment too long.

She doesn't expect the blizzard that shuts down the city and traps them inside.

She doesn't expect Room 312.

What begins as an interview becomes midnight conversations in an empty club. Quiet dances under amber light. Opulent rooms where walls come down and two people who've spent their lives moving-Lena chasing stories, Adrian curating home for everyone but himself-finally stand still.

The storm won't last forever.

Neither will this.

But for now, there's only snow falling outside, heat rising inside, and the question neither of them wants to ask:

What happens when the world comes back?

Room 312 is a tender, explicit romance about a trans woman and the man who sees her completely, set in a blizzard-bound sanctuary where love blooms when you finally stop running.

Book 2 in the She Came at the Glass Heel series: sensual, affirming stories about trans women and the nightclub that changes everything.
