LinaKyle
She stitches beauty into every costume-until her own skin becomes the fabric.
Lina Marris, a 30-year-old costume designer in the shadowy heart of Oakland's underground burlesque scene, is precise, composed, and always behind the curtain. She dresses goddesses, touches starlets, and lives by a rule she's never broken: control everything-or get consumed.
But her carefully hemmed world begins to unravel when two wildly different people enter her orbit:
- Richard Carver, a magnetic 55-year-old architect with shoulders built for silence and a philosophy carved in steel.
- Delia, a red-haired, barefoot temptation who flirts like a prayer and never knocks before entering.
Caught between structure and surrender, love and performance, Lina begins to peel back the layers of who she's always been-and touches the raw pulse of who she might become.
A sensual, slow-burning exploration of power, intimacy, and the beautiful, brutal act of being seen.
