Unexpectedly, something happened on her way home when she met someone who would eventually lead her to an even better job opportunity from a prestigious family. Skylar accepted it without having a hint of the bigger trouble that would appear in her life in the form of a person; a woman named Hera Cythera Arentsvelt. The stories about Cythera intrigued her, even without personally seeing the infamous head of the family as she's always locked in her room. Quiet and mysterious, hauntingly playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

Eight years ago, Renata Vitali disappeared without warning. No explanation, and certainly no goodbye.

Like she'd never existed. Amara Morrison learned quickly not to get attached to anything that could leave. In turn, she built something else instead. Control, structure, and a career that leaves no room for loose ends. Now, she's one of the youngest rising attorneys at LA's most ruthless firm. And Renata? Renata operates in a different world entirely. The kind where power is quiet, influence is inherited, and nothing is ever as simple as it looks. They haven't spoken since they were seventeen. Until Renata walks into a Century City conference room, drops a multi-million dollar case on the table, and asks for Amara by name. Only Amara.

Emily Lockhart has it all figured out. She's studying in a prestigious program, living abroad, and dating with marriage in mind. Her future is mapped out. But life doesn't care about plans. When Emily's world is suddenly turned upside down, who will she turn to? ・・・ Alex Carmichael is a lost soul. She used to have a clear path laid out: she'd inherit her family's fortune, marry her high school sweetheart, and run one of the largest companies in the U.S. But now, she has no idea what to do with her life. The fame that once clung to her now feels suffocating, her will to meet new people nonexistent, and her heart seems broken beyond repair. But when she locks eyes with a familiar pair of deep, ocean-blue eyes, she feels like she can breathe again. ········· This is an independent sequel to Melting The Ice, following the story of Alex and Emily from both POVs. It can be read as a standalone, and I will admit the writing is much better in this one, but you're more than welcomed to read Melting The Ice beforehand. Trigger Warnings: This story portrays a character who is struggling with eating disorders, particularly anorexia, so beware. There will be mentions of depression and anxiety. They are both going through it, and it is the trying that matters, so a lot of heartbreak before a happy ending. And, of course, smut🫡
