    Summary

    The driver’s door opened more slowly. And then—

    Well, shit.

    The woman who stepped out looked like she belonged on a red carpet, not a snow-covered trail in the Alaskan backcountry. Long dark coat cinched at the waist, leather gloves, lips painted the kind of deep red that would stain if you kissed her—not that Emma was thinking about that. Just…observations.

    She was stunning. Regal. Controlled. A sharp edge of elegance that made Emma feel like she’d wandered into the wrong movie.

    Summary

    She didn’t move toward them until Zoey turned and held out a hand.

    Mira didn’t take it — not really. She just stepped close enough for Zoey to pull her in, arms looping around her waist. Rumi’s arms came next, forming a circle Mira wasn’t sure she deserved to be inside of.

    “I’m sorry too,” Mira said, voice flat. Too calm. “For what I did.”
    Zoey squeezed her once. Rumi nodded.

    The words were accepted. The apology, acknowledged.

    But forgiveness doesn’t erase guilt. And Mira’s guilt didn’t let go.

    Or...

    Mira struggles with overwhelming guilt and self-harm, pushing away the family she cherishes—Zoey and Rumi. As she spirals into dangerous nights of drinking, drugs, and battles with her inner demons (and literal ones), Zoey and Rumi refuse to give up on her.

    Summary

    Regina Mills is twenty-one, the concert master of the Boston Combined Youth Concert Band and on the path to law school, a good marriage and state senate – if her mother has anything to do with it, at least. Emma Swan is an ace trumpet player, working three jobs to stay afloat and not terribly impressed by Regina Mills’ cold and snooty attitude.

    Alternate universe.
