Love was a term coined by the movement for equality beginning in the 1960's. Love was something that Rebecca Hayes never thought she would find. A young, introverted college graduate, Rebecca is commission to be a French tutor to the youngest children of the wealthy Donnelley family. In the summer of 1964, Rebecca is uprooted from her quiet life in the suburbs of New Orleans and settles in with the Donnelleys in Los Angeles, California. During this internment, Rebecca finds experience. She finds friends. She finds purpose. What she did not expect to find, was love. And the last place she ever thought she would find it was in the eldest Donnelley daughter, Joanne. Now an old woman, Rebecca recounts the passionate love affair that is still just as picturesque as it was 59 years ago, during a time when this kind of love was considered something entirely opposite.

The Fox of Rotthendahl Celeste Hawthorne has spent her life chasing ghosts-of enemies, of secrets, of a past that refuses to stay buried. At thirty-one, the former CIA operative has traded covert missions for corporate intelligence, navigating a quieter but no less dangerous world. When her employer Alena Stavros grows suspicious of her brother's hedonistic behavior at Paris's elite Château Noir, Celeste is sent to investigate-discreetly. What she doesn't expect is her. In the middle of a velvet-draped hallway and an attempted abduction, Celeste steps in to save a stunning, unnamed woman dressed like royalty and radiating secrets. She plays the part of a jealous lover to throw the attackers off, pulls the woman to safety-and is rewarded with suspicion, silence, and a kiss. Before Celeste can get answers or even a name, the woman vanishes into the night, leaving only the burning imprint of a kiss and a gnawing sense that nothing about her was what it seemed. Celeste has spent years decoding lies. But this one? This mystery wrapped in silk and attitude? She can't let go. As threads unravel-from the cold case that defined her childhood to the storm brewing beneath the Château's luxury-Celeste finds herself pulled into a dangerous game. And at the heart of it is the woman who disappeared...and who might be the biggest lie of all. Beneath layers of deception, attraction sparks between two women on opposite sides of truth. But as old ghosts rise and enemies close in, Celeste must decide: can she outfox the past before it swallows them both?

Amara Alonso is 22 years old and is in her final year studying English literature at NYU. She's smart, kind and gentle, she always has been. But she carries a quiet sadness that most don't see. After losing her mother and sister in a tragic car accident 8 months ago, she was left with an alcoholic father who she blames for their death. She promises herself to push through her last year of college but soon falls into a cycle- skipping classes, tear-stained eyes, and an empty stomach. Emilia Zayed is a 29 year old creative writing professor. Emilia is poised, intelligent and emotionally guarded. She keeps everyone at arm's length- students, colleges, friends, and especially family. She doesn't trust people and shows no intention to. She shows no interest in anybody around her, until a soft brown eyed girl enters her lecture with a look of hurt deep in her eyes that she can't seem to stop thinking about. Emilia notices Amara's writing first. There's something about her work-so raw, so aching, so lonely. It touches something in Emilia she thought she'd buried. Never has a student's piece of writing made her feel this way. They shouldn't get close. They can't get close. But they do. And it's slow, quiet, and deeply emotional. It's Amara showing up during Emilia's office hours not just to talk about writing but about life. It's Emilia realising Amara needs more than feedback-she needs someone who sees her. And it's Amara finally finding someone who doesn't leave. The two form an unspoken bond they can't explain. It's forbidden in the eyes of everybody else. But they can't help but feel softer around each other. Will they ever act on it? Will Amara's hurt or Emilia's closed offness prevent them from ever truly opening up and giving in?
