Does Milan write non-het romance? 'The Suffragette Scandal' has a very sweet f/f couple in a subplot. In 'Hold Me', her second contemporary, the heroine is a transwoman (I believe the hero additionally is bisexual, but I might be misremembering).
The real problem, if I like her writing, may be the availability of her books in print rather than pixels. I spend a lot of time on screens and really prefer not to do my reading off them. Ah, yes. That can be a problem with romance in general; the genre has hugely exploded into the ebook market (possibly because more people are willing to read them without embarrassing covers, possibly become many romance fans easily go through a dozen or more books a month, and the lower price point of ebooks has enabled that), and lots of people aren't bothering to put out physical copies anymore.
How are the extant books so far? It was quite good, though not my favorite of hers. It stars a heroine who once was rich and noble, but after her father and older brother were accused of treason (the father committed suicide, the brother was transported to Australia as a criminal), she's forced to move to a poor neighborhood, work for a living, and raise her younger siblings by herself. The hero is her former childhood friend, who was the one who testified at the trial to prove the treason. The heroine believes her family was innocent and the hero lied, but we eventually find out that the treason did in fact happen, and involved the father and brother aiding the Chinese for moral reasons; the hero and heroine come to agree with their choices. However, that part of the plot is pretty minor and is mostly just setting up the dominos for future books rather than playing a major part in this one itself.
