The fish on her plate had been cooked at the precise temperature where hope and flavor evaporated—and in the Ravel household, hope evaporated daily.

She had once been alive—now she was a fragile presence in beige dresses and measured gestures. Whatever was left of her dreams dissolved night after night into cold Chilean wine and fractured conversation. A

Ronja T. Lejonhjärta

Colt has always known what a moonshot is—the dream so impossible it hurts just to want it.

Zoey’s presence pulls him into a whirlwind of heart and heat, where desire feels dangerous but irresistible. Wanting her is reckless, but not wanting her feels impossible.
