When Jean, a disillusioned Parisian bookseller, keeps in his drawer a manuscript that every publisher has turned down, meets Esther Teillard, France's most magnetic young author, the ordinary turns extraordinary. What begins as a spontaneous escape from routine becomes a whirlwind day across Paris: cafés, literary salons, old bookstores, and encounters with eccentric writers. As fiction and reality blur, can two writers rewrite their lives? A love story born from books, shaped by words, and provin by the love of literature.

Rotten Roses
Zikora Somadina is a twenty-five-year-old author whose words captivate readers across the world, but behind her quiet brilliance lies a heart far more dangerous than most could ever imagine. Lucien Moon, at twenty-nine, is the enigmatic CEO of a powerful biotech and defense empire. To the world, he is untouchable, a man of precision and power. But to Zikora, he is something else entirely, an obsession, a possession, a secret she has no intention of ever letting go. Their paths first crossed eleven years ago, and fate bound them together again three years ago. Through what began as a business partnership. But business quickly gave way to something darker, something personal. Love, if it could be called that, blossomed into something obsessive, intoxicating, and deadly. What looked like a perfect pairing to outsiders was, in truth, a dangerous entanglement between two lovers who mirrored each other's madness. Because not everyone who laughs with you celebrates you. Not every hand extended toward you comes without a knife hidden behind it. In their world, betrayal is inevitable, secrets fester in the shadows, and death is never too far away. Lucien fell first, hard and irrevocably. Zikora followed, but not as the gentle muse people assumed her to be. She was his, fiercely, entirely, and dangerously. Just as he was hers. What they share is not ordinary love, it is possession, a twisted bond where obsession thrives and nothing else matters. But as their empire of passion and power grows, the walls around them begin to crack, revealing truths that will test their devotion in ways neither imagined. In this world, everything is not what it seems. Behind the glamour lies darkness, and behind the smiles lurks betrayal. A story of passion, obsession, secrets, and ruin, where love itself becomes the sharpest weapon of all.

Revision (COMPLETE)
My name is Delaney and this is my story. I feel compelled to give you fair warning before you embark on my journey. It's messy. It's chock-full of terrible choices and split-second decisions filled with bad judgment. It's rough, complicated and angsty-but, hey, isn't that what real life is? You live and learn through experience. You (hopefully) mature and don't make the same mistakes twice. These, however, are tough lessons to learn when you're trying to navigate through. Sure, dear reader, you will have ideas of how I could've handled it all better-I know I certainly do, in retrospect. But, I'm me. I'm human. And to err is human, right? Isn't that the popular quote people love to use as an excuse? Well-there it is. Read my life story, I dare you, but remember you've been warned. The divorce of her parents does not come as a surprise to Delaney, however her mother's swift decision to relocate to Florida throws her for a loop. After enrolling in classes at university, she makes fast friends with Shane, the quintessentially perfect guy. Jaded by her past experiences with relationships, Shane completely confounds her. He represents everything Delaney believed didn't exist in real life; stability, security and good old-fashioned kindness. It should be effortless. With Shane, it's exactly the type of happily-ever-after story she loves to read, as well as write. Enter Fin: the edgy, risk-taking artist that unrelentingly captivates her attention. Soon after becoming her partner in literature class, he becomes her one and only copyeditor and most trusted confidant. Torn between two different worlds, Delaney stumbles through a range of decisions that lead her on an unexpected journey. She finds herself left with an impossible choice: A life of contentedness filled with ease and love or a passion-filled wild ride that leaves her breathless. However, Delaney also discovers that sometimes the seemingly unimportant everyday decisions end up making the choices for you...Complete
