Flowing silk dresses. Structured suits. Empty, forced vows. Soft, sweet nothings. Whispered caresses. Bittersweet kisses. Blue, blue eyes. This is not a love story. This is ruination. 🥀 Rosaline Beaumont. A name that once graced every tabloid, a face that used to be plastered all over social media. A girl that had all but disappeared. But now, four years after everything had turned to ashes in her grasp, she was back under the ever greedy gaze of the cameras, the watchful eyes of high society thirsting to watch their darling unravel. Standing at a wedding altar not of her choice, Rose was on the precipice of vowing to spend the rest of her life with a man she hardly knew. A deadly gamble. A hopeful new start. But could something new truly blossom, when the clutches of the past were dug so deep? Could she ever truly move on, when she couldn't close her eyes without dreaming of him? And could a marriage really last, when her heart would forever beat for another? 🥀 Completed on July 5, 2025.

In the quiet town of Hollowridge, secrets are currency, and everyone knows the cost of keeping them. Madeline Olivia didn't choose to carry this one, but now it's hers - a truth so dangerous it threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew about her family. Elijah Norel isn't just her stepbrother. He's a force that bends everything in his path to his will. There's no safety in his presence, no escape from his attention. What he wants, he takes. What he loves, he keeps. But running isn't an option. Not when he's always a step ahead. Because what they share is as sweet as honey. And just as deadly as poison.
