Looking for book published in 1980s

I'm looking for the title and author of a non-series book which was written by a woman in the 1980s. The details of the book are:

• The main character is a female trader dealing with smugglers


• She's a lesbian or bisexual


• The story is set on a non-earth planet


• The lead character becomes involved with a female smuggler


• The secondary character is a male net runner who collects info for her


• Ultimately the female smuggler is killed

The author has also written several fantasy novels. The Book was most likely published by small press. What is the name of this book?
