Rosemary has just been dumped. Again. In desperation, she follows her sister's advice and decides to undergo a process of self reflection with one simple tool: a deck of Tarot cards. Join Rosemary in a revealing, heartfelt - and sexy - quest to find herself through the Major Arcana.
**
Tarot cards, contrary to popular belief, are not for seeing the future. Rather, they reveal information about an individual's state of mind, inner thoughts, and subconscious wisdom. A full Tarot deck contains 78 cards: 56 Minor Arcana (divided into four suits: Wands (or Staffs); Discs (or Pentacles); Cups, and Swords), which include numbered cards 1 - 10, and also "face" cards of King, Queen, Knight, and Page. The Minor Arcana depict specific individuals, events, decisions, or possible outcomes, and add detail to any Tarot reading.
There are also 22 Major Arcana cards. These cards represent major ideas, elements, or "twists". Starting with The Fool and ending with The World, the Major Arcana also present the narrative of a journey. It is this which inspired my writing this erotic romance, featuring Rosemary as the reluctant reader of Tarot. Through the cards, she will grow and change - and find love - all while examining her innermost self.
I'm leaving this story up to the cards. Each chapter is influenced by the card I pick; the Tarot will guide me as I write. (As will you, readers, with your comments, feedback, and suggestions). I hope this journey will offer plenty of enjoyment to lovers of romance, Tarot, and good storytelling, alike.
(Please note: this has been adapted to meet Wattpad's qualifications for submission. Never fear: the full-on, Fionna-style erotic version shall be published when complete! For all those who enjoy a little more spice with their romance. :)
Like in the deck of cards, the Ace outranks the King-and so does Ace Salvatore.
A Greek-Italian mafia leader feared by all, Ace is a man of unspeakable cruelty, a calculated mind ruling an empire built on blood and terror.
His face is a mystery- those who've seen it are long gone, silenced by his wrath.
Manipulative, controlling, psychotic, and untouchable, he rules his empire with an iron fist, his past buried beneath layers of bloodshed and regret.
His obsession with power and control leaves no room for weakness-not in himself, not in his enemies, and certainly not in others.
When a desperate debtor can't repay what's owed, he offers something unexpected to settle the score: a little girl.
Ace accepts the deal, not out of need, but because curiosity flickers in his mind- a curiosity he loathes.
Yet the little girl is more than just an innocent.
She unknowingly awakens ghosts of Ace's past- a life of betrayal, loss, and secrets he swore to bury.
Even monsters have scars.
The darkness that shaped him, the wounds he carries, and the revenge that fuels his every decision begin to resurface.
The past never truly stays buried.
As their worlds collide, her presence becomes both his salvation and his torment.
But as the past catches up, threatening to destroy everything, Ace must face a harrowing choice: cling to the monster he's become, or risk everything for the one thing he never thought he'd have- a chance at redemption.
Will his darkness consume her and change her?
Or will she destroy him?
