    Summary

    The sketchbook was left open.

    He was out on a coffee run. A harmless errand.

    She hadn’t intended to snoop.

    She wasn’t that type of woman.

    But it was right there—on his desk. Open. Beckoning.

    And something deep in her spine, something laced in pride and cold-blooded curiosity, made her reach for it.

    The first page was ordinary—rough studies of fabric drapes, heels, cuff angles.

    Then—

    Her breath caught.

    Her.
    On her knees.

    Mouth slightly parted. Eyes half-lidded. Chin tilted upward like she was offering something unseen.

    Her blouse was open. Fully. Her breasts—drawn with brutal precision—looked soft, heavy, revered. Her thighs spread, unapologetic. Even her necklace was captured—the fine gold chain she wore under her shirt every day. That he’d never seen.

    Or so she thought.

    She turned the page.

    Another one.

    This time her legs were up on a desk. Her desk. Her skirt hitched up. Lips parted mid-laugh—except there was nothing funny about it. It was hunger in ink. He’d drawn her looking like a temptation no god could resist.

    She slammed the sketchbook shut.

    The silence roared.

    Summary

    He saw her in a painting. He had to have her. Even if it meant stealing her life.

    Paris, 1783. Aurore de Sevigné lives a quiet life—an only daughter, adored by her father, soon to be married to the boy she’s always loved. But when an anonymous gift arrives—a single moonflower, white as bone and blooming only at night—her world begins to shift.

    Abducted from her estate and taken across the sea, Aurore awakens in a golden palace built for desire, ruled by a Sultan scarred by power and haunted by obsession. He makes her his favorite. She swears to hate him.

    Summary

    “I hate and I love. Why do I do this, perhaps you ask.
    I don’t know, but I feel it happening, and I’m tortured.”

    Coming of age during the Great Depression, Catarina has tried to be good girl her whole life. A good daughter, a good Catholic, a good friend, all while she dreams of beautiful things that she should not want.

    When a certain stranger offers her all the pleasures of a wordly life in exchange for one thing in return, she learns that rules exist for good reason, and there lies an underbelly in her city that she never could have imagined.
