Until the Russian mafia boss does. Mikhail Morozov is a leader, not a savior. Cold, calculated, and feared, he doesn't believe in coincidences-or letting things go. When Annelise crosses his path, walking away stops being an option. Protection turns into surveillance. Survival turns into obsession. And the man who saved her may be the most dangerous thing she's ever encountered. (TW: dark themes, sexual content, violence, smut, adult situations, trauma)

When they start exchanging messages with Claude Lublin, a struggling architecture student in 1900s Paris, their lives become entangled across time. As their conversations deepen, so does their bond. They share their dreams, fears, and the mysteries of their timelines. And with each message, the mystery deepens: why can they talk to each other and what happens when ink on paper is no longer enough?

Madelyn Chung is one of the best clinical psychology PhD students Harvard has ever seen--the most controversial, too. After discovering academic fraud conducted by Harvard's star faculty, Dr. Charlotte Shelby, her future career seems uncertain as whispers accuse her of being a burdensome whistleblower. With a potentially groundbreaking research project in the line, she is appointed to work with Dr. Alex Manning, Harvard's young neuroscientist and professor who revolutionized several research in his field. A life-changing opportunity for Maddie--but she must deal with the fact that Alex was one of Charlotte's past collaborators, and his career was at stake because of the scandal. Maddie has always been careful when trudging through endless hours of clinical shifts and research. But when she doesn't know if the longing stares from Alex every time he tries to make her life harder are an indication of hatred, or if they mean something else, she starts to feel unprepared. Because Maddie knows she is a falling star, and if she holds onto the fragile trust between her and Alex too tightly, she will only fall harder.
