Falling in love with your boss is never a good idea. And if you're a lesbian and she's straight - that's double trouble right there. When Kim and her very attractive, straight, and married boss Sonja find themselves having to share a hotel room at an out-of-town conference, one thing leads to another. But after one night of forbidden passion Sonja almost cruelly tells Kim they're finished. Sonja's emotional and physical distance is a torment to Kim. And aside from the obsessiveness of being in love, there are more questions: What is really going on in Sonja's marriage? Is Sonja who Kim really thinks she is, after all? And - what are the chances that love will prevail?

Brilliant writer and gorgeous seductress Anna Lessing wants to resolve her intimacy issues, but she finds that her attractive psychotherapist makes things even more complicated. Carolin and Rebekka, the most constant couple in their constellation, continue to forge ahead in building their lives together. Sadly, grief prevents Silvia from enjoying life in the way that Luise can, no matter how much their delightfully youthful students offer. Thea's new admirer makes her life ... interesting. And dear, sweet Anita finally gets what she deserves. Welcome back to "L as in Love", and the lovely, lively women who congregate at the Sappho Café.

The ladies you love ... and the ladies who love each other ... come from the worlds of publishing, big business, journalism, and more - where they earn their livings by using their brains, their hands, or sometimes their naked bodies. In Book Two, couples re-arrange with other partners, singles search, and they all try to figure out whether sex really is that important, whether their relationships really are secure, whether friendship can indeed become love ... or whether ex-lovers can really be friends. Rick, Carolin, Anna, Rebekka, Marlene, Anita, Sabrina, Chris and all the rest converge at Melly's Sappho Café in the midst of their lives of pleasure and pain, laughter, lightheartedness, luck, and lust - but mostly, "L - as in Love"!

Peek into the interwoven lives of the women who gather at the Sappho Café, and meet a broad cross section of Cologne's most interesting people. Whether we're in the presence of the "perfect" couples or the women who are on the lookout for love, you'll find that Sappho always has drama on the menu - as well as a first-rate cappuccino. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Once you've met Sabrina, Chris, Carolin, Rick, Rebekka and all the rest, you'll be back for more "L" - as in lovely ladies, lust, laughter, lies, lightheartedness, and lasciviousness - but mostly, "L - as in Love"!

The Sappho Café treats its women extremely well. Now, if life would only do the same. Rebekka and Carolin have achieved happy coupledom ... almost. Marlene is still making money banging around in porn flicks - which sometimes lets her forget that she'd rather be driving her truck. Sabrina and Chris, who always appeared to be the dream couple, seem to be trying to work out their problems. Thea continues to break hearts - sometimes a man's, sometimes a woman's, sometimes, her own. Melly's friends are surprised when her secret past catches up with her ... And Melly's sister Silvia experiences, in the hardest way, that fate can be cruel. Ultimately, though, there's plenty of love to go around, and in L as in Love: Book Three, the lucky professors and pupils who encounter each other outside of class realize that their deepest interests can be mutual beyond the halls of academe, as well.
