Camila Reyes - soft-spoken barista with a love for dark, twisted love stories. The more red flags the male lead has, the faster she reads. She dog-ears pages and writes notes in the margins. Pretends to read classics on the train, but it's mafia smut with a fake cover.
Alessandro Vitale - ruthless billionaire who reads dark romance on a black Kindle with a password. Pretends it's legal docs, but he's knee-deep in the same morally gray, enemies-to-lovers chaos. No one knows. Not a soul.
Until her.
