Si Clara Montgomery ay sanay sa buhay na tahimik, maayos, at laging sumusunod sa rules. Perfect lady-in-waiting ang peg niya para sa future na pinaghihirapan niya. Pero ang future na 'yun, nakadepende sa trabaho ng mommy niya bilang Head Maid sa dambuhalang coastal estate ng mga Vale. Ngayong summer, imbes na libro ang hawak ni Clara, basahan muna ang dala niya para tulungan ang mom niya sa mansion. Akala niya magiging boring at routine lang ang lahat-hanggang sa pinauwi ng pamilya Vale ang pinakamalaking sakit sa ulo nila. Enter Seraphina Vale, ang reigning queen of chaos. Isang rich brat na laging laman ng headlines, at kombinasyon ng dark feminine allure at pagiging spoiled. Ang parusa sa kanya dahil sa latest scandal niya ay "exile": tatlong buwan siyang kailangang tumira sa ilalim ng strict na rules ng lolo at lola niya hanggang sa magtanda siya. Si Clara yung tipo ng tao na dapat i-ignore ni Seraphina, at si Seraphina naman ang rason kung bakit dapat lang umiwas si Clara. Pero dahil sa forced proximity nila sa loob ng suffocating na mansion, magbabanggaan ang mundo nila. Habang tumatagal ang mga gabi at humahalimuyak ang amoy ng dagat, yung asaran nila, unti-unting nagiging something serious. Si Seraphina na sanay na laging nasa kanya ang control, biglang nawawalan ng kontrol sa babaeng nagse-serve sa pamilya niya. At si Clara na laging "proper," makaka-feel ng kakaibang tapang sa harap ng babaeng bawal niyang mahalin. Sa summer na puno ng secrets at stolen moments, sapat kaya ang forbidden desire nila para labanan ang social divide-o maglalaho lang ang summer romance nila kapag natapos na ang bakasyon?

[WLW] [TAGLISH] Lucifer has one dear daughter. "God only knows, but you'll never leave her." - The 1975 Her name is Heia Rhiannon Marchesi Verridien. Say it slow. She doesn't answer to it all the time. Because the devil is a liar. And his daughter is a crowded room. Heia. Rhiannon. Rhirhi. Could there be another one? Do not confuse them. One pulls you in. One pushes you away. And one doesn't even know you. Some girls save you from fire. Other girls set your house on fire just to carry you out of it. She might exactly be the latter. It wasn't the eviction notice that ruined Charlie Vivienne's life. It wasn't even the fire that swallowed her apartment whole. It was the hand that pulled her out. Because the woman who saved Charlie's life might be the very same monster who destroyed it years ago. While Charlie is busy memorizing the angles of Heia's jaw, Heia is busy trying to scrub blood off her hands from a murder she does not remember committing. The original sin wasn't eating the forbidden fruit. It was falling in love with the devil's daughter. And it is without salvation... Because you will never ask to be saved. "I built a church between the devil's thighs. I only kneel for her." WARNING: This story contains psychologically complex, morally gray characters and uses religious imagery metaphorically.
