Engines & Ink

Amara Celestine has always trusted engines more than people.

Engines make sense. They break, you fix them. Simple. Predictable. Controlled.

But literature?

It's the one thing she can't understand-and now, it's the one subject she's failing.

Forced into a mentoring program, Amara is assigned to Sienna Laurent, a woman known for her brilliance, discipline... and her attitude.

Cold. Sharp. Unapproachable.

And unfortunately-

The same woman Amara had a heated argument with in the parking lot.

From the very beginning, they clash.

Every session feels like a challenge.
Every conversation turns into tension.
Every look lingers longer than it should.

Amara hates her.

She hates the way Sienna talks to her.
The way she always seems one step ahead.
The way she makes her feel... off balance.

But what Amara hates the most-

Is how she can't stop noticing her.

Because Sienna Laurent is everything she avoids.

A woman she can't have.
A mentor she shouldn't want.
And someone who will never see her the same way.

But somewhere between engines and ink-

Between logic and emotion-

Amara might just lose control.
