In Ephemeral Hearts, Echo and Day are more than best friends-they're each other's lifeline. To their families, they're inseparable companions; to each other, they're partners in an unspoken pact to escape their suffocating lives. Day, the dreamer, finds solace in writing, weaving endless stories of a better existence where fear and judgment can't touch them. But Day's anxious heart constantly worries about crossing invisible boundaries or overstaying any welcome. Echo, ever the guardian, stands steadfast, shielding Day from the harshness of reality. They have no idea where their yearning for freedom might lead, but they don't care. As long as they're together, they'll write and dream their way into the life they've always wanted-one word, one heart, at a time. It is a kaleidoscopic dreamscape where whimsy and danger coexist in a fragile, shifting balance. Much like Alice in Wonderland, it defies logic, with impossible landscapes that bend and twist, creatures that embody riddles, and rules that are as transient as Day's fleeting confidence. This world is born of Day's imagination, each corner shaped by their dreams and fears, making it both an escape and a reflection of their inner turmoil. Within this strange and enchanting realm, Echo is a constant anchor, guiding Day through its unpredictable paths while protecting them from its lurking shadows. It is a place where reality dissolves, and the pair's longing for freedom finds its most vivid and fantastical expression.
Cassalyn Diao is used to making enemies of all kinds, but none have ever come close to truly hurting her. So when she stumbles upon a plot that could set her nation back by years, she runs to her old allies at the Arecian Secret Service for aid.
Marcus Dalton has been looking for Cass since their last disastrous last encounter years ago, but he didn't expect their next meeting to begin with her passing out bleeding on his front doorsteps. But he'll take the chance to reconcile with her and try to put their past behind them.
It won't be easy, though, with their cunning enemy seeking ways to silence Cass and her own refusal to let anyone in again. The two will have to work together against the ticking clock to survive this game of cat-and-mouse and come out with both their hearts and heads intact.
