"Chemistry that jumps off the page." — Kim Wilch
Some loves are not meant to be gentle.
When Ellie meets Alex, the attraction is instant—violent in its intensity, impossible to ignore, and frightening in how deeply it takes hold. Alex doesn't want her casually. He wants her completely. With a devotion that borders on obsession. Ellie feels the same pull... a hunger she doesn't understand, a sense of being claimed by something ancient and inevitable.
Because this is not the first time their souls have collided. They have loved each other before. And it destroyed them.
As Ellie's modern-day story unfolds, a second timeline bleeds through time—one set in 19th-century Greece, where a village girl named Sophia and a Greek shipping heir named Orpheas lived a love so forbidden, so consuming, it carved itself into eternity.
Their desire. Their defiance. Their tragedy. All of it echoes in Ellie and Alex.
When the past begins bleeding into the present, Ellie is forced to confront the truth behind their bond—one written long before either of them were born. A truth that threatens everything.
