Maya thought she knew exactly what her life looked like until a chance encounter at an art gallery changes everything.
The woman studying the paintings captivates her instantly. Elena is sophisticated, intelligent, and sees beauty in Maya's tattoo artistry when others only see rebellion. Their connection is magnetic, almost familiar, like they're picking up a conversation that was interrupted long ago.
But as their relationship deepens and passion ignites, strange coincidences begin to surface. A shared memory here, a familiar phrase there. The way Elena looks at Maya's art with more than just appreciation with recognition.
Maya can't shake the feeling that their meeting wasn't as random as it seemed. And Elena finds herself haunted by memories of a student from years past, someone who reminds her achingly of the woman now sharing her bed.
When the truth finally surfaces, it threatens to destroy everything they've built. Some secrets are too big to overcome. Some connections run too deep to ignore. And some love stories get a second chance if they're brave enough to take it.
But first, they have to survive the revelation that will change everything.
What happens when the past collides with the present, and love hangs in the balance?

Slowly she began reaching her hand towards the animal, feeling compelled to touch it. Would it be as soft as it looked? Did it want her to touch it? The rain continued pelting them, but it felt like its eyes were drawing her into another space, where nothing else mattered. The sudden desire to be closer to this animal was beginning to overtake her mind, especially as her hand neared its head. The whole time the animal only watched her with those large eyes. She imagined it almost asking for her touch. It didn't cross her mind how she knew he'd be soft, or how she even knew the creature was a 'he' to begin with. As her finger just barely grazed the animal, multiples things happened. She felt something shock her causing her to pull her hand back, just as thunder and lightning sounded. When the light cleared the animals' eyes, were narrowed into slits, and it was growling. It was a deep menacing sound that sent her stumbling backward, heart wildly beating. It bared fangs the size of her hand alone dipping its head. Had her touch angered the animal into finally attacking her? She kept moving backward in the rain, slipping in her converses as the creature continued growling. It was then she knew she was prepared to run, no matter what happened.

Beneath the Sanguine
"You think I didn't want to forget you?" Enzo's voice cracked, raw and wrecked. "I tried. God, I fucking tried." Sloan's laugh came sharp and broken. "Then try harder." He stepped closer, green eyes wild. "You don't get it. You're not something I can fucking forget." His hand found her jaw, thumb trembling against her skin. "You're every fucking thing I can't unfeel." Her voice rose, sharp with pain. "And what the fuck do you want me to do about it?" He moved in until their bodies nearly touched, one hand sliding behind her head, pulling her in until their foreheads pressed together. His voice came out low, rough, trembling against her breath. "I want you to hate me more than you miss me," he whispered. "Just once." Sloan's breath hitched sharply, her steel blue eyes locked onto his. Enzo's fingers curled tighter at the nape of her neck, and God, he swore he could feel her breath tremble against his lips. "Maybe then...
