Gorillas Sleep Like the Dead #ONC2025

Sleeping Beauty with a few twists!

Scarlett Bochelle is just fine alone, thank you very much. She is perfectly satisfied with her work as a Zookeeper for large primates and her hobbies. She certainly doesn't need her friend setting her up on a date with a rockstar with public commitment phobia. Little does she know that her friend and her date are hiding secrets that will put her in grave danger even before their first date begins. She will have to choose between her relatively safe but lonely life, and a breathtaking love that will require a leap of faith.
