    Summary

    the two sat in silence, jarring and imprisoning, for the first time that night. another uncomfortable saxophone solo pierced through the chatter of other patrons in the bar. rumi felt lightheaded.

    when the silence between the two became unbearable, zoey breathed a quiet, “fuck.”

    rumi was scared to ask. she was scared because she didn’t want the direct confirmation that asking would bring her. rumi and zoey, meeting their exes in the same place, in the same way, having the same lingering feelings and sentiments towards her. rumi knew what that meant. she asked broadly, just in case her assumption was incorrect, “you know mira..?”

    only for zoey to laugh pitifully, confirming what rumi already assumed, “yeah. she’s my ex.”

    rumi and zoey meet by chance at a local bar. once sparks start to fly between the duo, however, they discover that they have a rather unfortunate link – a shared ex, mira, that neither of them can seem to move on from.

    Summary

    All her life, Cassandra Dimitrescu has known the rhythm of the hunt. The chase, the screams, the silence that follows. Mortals run, they cry, they beg, they break. Until one doesn't. You don't.

    The knife struck the wall with a sharp, defiant thud; close enough to cut the air between you. Your eyes met hers, steady and unflinching, lit with something that wasn’t fear. For the first time in her life, Cassandra forgot how to breathe. For the first time, she hesitated. That hesitation became the beginning.

    She started watching you: through the corridors, across candlelit dinners, from behind the rim of her wine glass. You walked the castle like someone who already knew she was doomed, yet dared the devil to prove it.

    Curiosity became fascination.
    Fascination curdled into obsession.
    And obsession, in time, became hunger.

    In Castle Dimitrescu, where affection tastes like blood and interest is a fatal indulgence, Cassandra finds herself facing a truth far more dangerous than any weapon: she doesn’t want to kill you. She wants to know you. To unravel you.

    And if that means losing herself in the process, then so be it.

    Summary

    Ava’s plan was simple: start over, keep her head down, and never let anyone get too close. With no family, no friends, and only the baby growing inside her to worry about, she thought it would be easy.

    Then came Beatrice, a burdened business owner intent on recapturing her grandparents’ legacy.

    She wasn’t supposed to matter.

    She wasn’t supposed to get inside Ava’s carefully constructed walls.

    But when Beatrice steps into Ava’s life, will the past she's tried to escape finally catch up to her?

    Summary

    Beatrice has had a very difficult year, not that she would admit that to anyone (even herself). Her best friends have convinced her to take some time away from work, soak in some sun, and get back in touch with herself but relaxing proves to be a little harder than it looks – especially with someone like Ava around.
