"Sin wears silk and smiles." In the glittering decay of nineteenth-century Europe, one woman trades her soul for freedom-and finds herself forever bound to the Devil who grants it. From the gilded palaces of France to the fog-choked streets of London, Jeanette Rouge follows the rise, fall, and rebirth of a courtesan turned immortal hunter. Once a pawn of kings, Jeanette signs the Scarlet Contract to escape her ruin, only to awaken in a world where demons walk among the desperate and angels sell indulgence by the ounce. As she crosses paths with an enigmatic butler, a noble family cloaked in mirrors, and the shadow of a killer who bleeds cities dry, Jeanette learns that desire can damn as surely as sin-and that redemption may demand a deeper surrender. A tale of beauty, vengeance, and the price of eternity, Jeanette Rouge unfolds across five acts of blood and velvet: The Scarlet Contract. The Devil in Black and Crimson. Mirrors and Monsters. The Sins We Serve. Rouge Eternal.

A self help book for dealing with stupid crushes. Being in twenties and dealing with crushes and situationships can be very challenging. I'm trying to give advice on how to deal with it based on my experiences and tv shows I watched. It's like a wikipedia to deal with crushes . If you are delusional and feel left out then don't worry there could be more people like you. It's okay to have crushes and face weird, awkward situations in day to day life. You can have a prince charming and happy ending like movies. But if you don't, you can learn, gain experiences and have more humor and fun to life.

Most of your thoughts revert back to loosing yourself. You need to stop.
