Crimson Lullaby

They said the dorm was safe.
They said nothing dangerous lurked inside.
They were wrong.

When Gracie Stewie moves into the new dorm with her sister, Grata, and meet an orphaned girl named Annie, she thinks adjusting to co-ed living is her biggest problem. But on a stormy night, a brutal murder right outside their door changes everything. A figure with glowing red eyes, a smirk laced with cruelty, and a hunger that isn't entirely human.

No one speaks about them. The ones who hide in plain sight. The ones who kill without hesitation. The ones called Harts.

And now, Gracie has caught the attention of one.

A game of shadows has begun.
The rules? Unknown.
The players? Deadly.
The cost? Everything.

Because once a Hart sets his sights on you..
There's no way out.

Gracie is the kind of girl who doesn't go looking for trouble, but somehow, it always finds her. With sharp wit, a stubborn streak, and an uncanny ability to read people, she's not one to back down from a challenge. She doesn't fluster easily-at least, she likes to think so. But then there's Ethan.

Ethan is a walking contradiction-casual yet intense, effortlessly charming yet frustratingly unreadable. His amber eyes seem to catch everything, making it impossible for Gracie to pretend he doesn't get under her skin. He doesn't just push her buttons-he finds them, memorizes them, and presses them at the worst possible moments. He always has the perfect comeback, the kind that makes her want to throw something at him, or worse, melt right on the spot.

Their interactions are a battlefield of words, filled with sarcastic jabs, teasing smirks, and moments of undeniable tension that neither of them are ready to acknowledge. Gracie swears she doesn't like him, but her heart doesn't seem to get the memo. And Ethan? He just enjoys watching her malfunction.

Stay and find out what happens! Gracie and her tension filled relationship with ethan, friendship, family, mystery red eyed 'bish' as she calls him, & HARTS.
