"So why did you decide to become a seamstress?"
"I'm good with my hands."
Maeve couldn't tell if it was just the dim light or something more, but she swore she saw a flush spread across Virella's porcelain skin. A blush. A game that was becoming more and more intriguing to play.
Maeve Wilder is a celebrated seamstress by day and a vampire hunter by night. After an apocalyptic war, peace is struck between humans and vampires. Humans would get protection from other vampiric kingdoms and in return, they would give voluntary blood donations. Maeve goes undercover as the seamstress for Princess Virella D'Aurelius's coronation, determined to expose the corruption of the vampire royal family. But as old vendettas resurface and unexpected desire sparks between them, Maeve must choose between duty and love-her dagger or her heart.

Me Against Her (Cate Blanchett x OC)
I pointed to the cardboard boxes under the table, "All packed. It's my last day." Then I continued packing quietly, my hands bathing in the soft orange glow of dusk that illuminated the place I called home for six years. The warm and familiar scent of carpentry, dried paint, and electric cable coatings filled my nostrils, sending a jolt of pain to my heart. Minutes must have passed before she spoke up: "Don't go, Edith." "Is there something else you need help with?" "No," she stepped closer and put one hand on my cardboard box, "I mean, don't leave the company. Not yet..." The stunned look on my face and my inability to speak must've made an impact on her, because I heard a word that I never thought would come out of her mouth. "...please." ----- When Edie, a twenty-something theater administrator, is offered the chance to interview for a promotion, she jumps at it. Except the board forgot to tell her that she's up against a Hollywood power couple gunning for the same job: Artistic Director of the Sydney Theatre Company. Cate Blanchett x OC. F/F.
