A stolen kiss at a masquerade sets off a chain reaction that upends Francesca's carefully arranged life, catching her between two powerful men with completely different claims on her heart. When she's forced into marriage with one while entangled with the other, she discovers that the vows she thought would define her are just the beginning of a much more complicated love story. With dangerous rivals, family secrets, and her own desires pulling her in opposite directions, Francesca must navigate a world where nothing is as it seems and her heart refuses to follow the script written for her. This is a sweeping dark romance about passion, loyalty, and finding your own power in the spaces between impossible choices.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, sensual, and dangerously intoxicating—think moody R&B, sultry indie, and intense alternative pop. Layers of tension, forbidden desire, and smoldering passion. Artists like The Weeknd, SZA, Cigarettes After Sex, and Florence + The Machine. Gothic romance meets contemporary obsession.
