She wanted a quiet life among the books. Lena left behind a past she never chose. Now she spends her days surrounded by stories, sipping matcha, and pretending the past doesn't exist. It's simple. It's safe. It's everything she never knew she needed. Then a woman walks into the library with a smile like sunlight and eyes that hold something dangerous behind the warmth. --- She wanted to be unseen. Miu controls an empire from the shadows-billions of dollars, seventeen countries, and a secret identity so carefully constructed that even intelligence agencies only have rumors. She is kind. She is cruel. She is whatever she needs to be. But when she meets a librarian with Aphrodite's face and a quiet kindness that feels like home, she starts to want something she can't buy, command, or control.
