Burning Hearts

For Wednesday Addams, the only thing more agonizing than human emotion is a persistent partner. But when she is thrust into the ancestral dorm room with Rosaline-a painfully vibrant Italian psychic whose passions run from vintage guitars to Formula 1 racing-Wednesday's meticulously ordered world of apathy begins to decay.

Rosaline is relentless sunshine; Wednesday is cold, perpetual midnight. She's the loyalty he despises; he's the danger she can't resist.

Forced to navigate the escalating Hyde murders, a town obsessed with colonial denial, and the horrifying visions tied to their Addams ancestor, Goody, Wednesday must rely on the one person whose warmth might thaw his cold, dead heart-or incinerate it completely.

Between deciphering cryptic family secrets in the decaying Cobham Woods and resisting the possessive sting of jealousy whenever Rosaline is called "Rose" by the local competition (Xavier and Tyler), Wednesday finds himself fighting not just a monster, but the unfamiliar, agonizing urge to protect his roommate above all else.

She is his anchor. He is her dangerous obsession.
