The Fox of Rotthendahl Celeste Hawthorne has spent her life chasing ghosts-of enemies, of secrets, of a past that refuses to stay buried. At thirty-one, the former CIA operative has traded covert missions for corporate intelligence, navigating a quieter but no less dangerous world. When her employer Alena Stavros grows suspicious of her brother's hedonistic behavior at Paris's elite Château Noir, Celeste is sent to investigate-discreetly. What she doesn't expect is her. In the middle of a velvet-draped hallway and an attempted abduction, Celeste steps in to save a stunning, unnamed woman dressed like royalty and radiating secrets. She plays the part of a jealous lover to throw the attackers off, pulls the woman to safety-and is rewarded with suspicion, silence, and a kiss. Before Celeste can get answers or even a name, the woman vanishes into the night, leaving only the burning imprint of a kiss and a gnawing sense that nothing about her was what it seemed. Celeste has spent years decoding lies. But this one? This mystery wrapped in silk and attitude? She can't let go. As threads unravel-from the cold case that defined her childhood to the storm brewing beneath the Château's luxury-Celeste finds herself pulled into a dangerous game. And at the heart of it is the woman who disappeared...and who might be the biggest lie of all. Beneath layers of deception, attraction sparks between two women on opposite sides of truth. But as old ghosts rise and enemies close in, Celeste must decide: can she outfox the past before it swallows them both?

This book may NOT be reproduced, reposted, copied, or translated in any way unless you receive permission directly from the author. Felicity Rose Bennett has everything the world thinks she wants-chart-topping songs, magazine covers, fans who call her perfect. But the world doesn't know she's hiding. Burned out, suffocated by fame, and haunted by a stalker no one else knows about, Felicity flees to her mothers' quiet Toronto lake house just to breathe for the first time in years. She doesn't expect Harriet Johnson to walk through the door with a suitcase and a key. Harriet has spent the last four years running from her past-alcohol addiction, heartbreak, and the memory of the only girl she's ever loved. Sober now and fighting her way through med school, she only wanted a quiet summer. She didn't know Felicity would be here. She didn't know that sharing a roof again would feel like falling into a storm she thought she'd survived. They were childhood best friends turned teenage lovers-until Harriet broke Felicity's heart in the worst possible way. Now they're twenty-two, trapped by old history and new secrets, in the same house that once held their whispered dreams and first kisses. The deal is simple: her side, my side. But nothing about Felicity and Harriet has ever been simple. Not the history, not the wanting, not the way every look feels like a dare and every brush of skin threatens to set them both on fire. In the thick of July, in a house full of memories, two girls who once had everything will have to decide if second chances are worth the risk-and if loving each other is worth surviving for.

Emily Lockhart has it all figured out. She's studying in a prestigious program, living abroad, and dating with marriage in mind. Her future is mapped out. But life doesn't care about plans. When Emily's world is suddenly turned upside down, who will she turn to? ・・・ Alex Carmichael is a lost soul. She used to have a clear path laid out: she'd inherit her family's fortune, marry her high school sweetheart, and run one of the largest companies in the U.S. But now, she has no idea what to do with her life. The fame that once clung to her now feels suffocating, her will to meet new people nonexistent, and her heart seems broken beyond repair. But when she locks eyes with a familiar pair of deep, ocean-blue eyes, she feels like she can breathe again. ········· This is an independent sequel to Melting The Ice, following the story of Alex and Emily from both POVs. It can be read as a standalone, and I will admit the writing is much better in this one, but you're more than welcomed to read Melting The Ice beforehand. Trigger Warnings: This story portrays a character who is struggling with eating disorders, particularly anorexia, so beware. There will be mentions of depression and anxiety. They are both going through it, and it is the trying that matters, so a lot of heartbreak before a happy ending. And, of course, smut🫡
