Read Me Like a Road

In a snow-locked cabin lit by firelight and smelling of pine smoke, three road-weary travelers. Luna, Nico, and the quietly commanding Rowan, turn a car-born game of silence into something tender, electric, and revelatory. Rowan guides with patient restraint, Nico disarms with warmth and humor, and Luna surrenders to both, cycling from delicious powerlessness to unexpected sovereignty as she discovers that being wanted is its own kind of leverage. But beneath the exquisite tension of held breath and tapped wrists, Luna carries a heavier ache, the dread of Sunday, of airports, of becoming nothing more than a firelight memory on someone else's highway, and it is only the game's ruthless honesty that finally cracks her open enough to say the true thing aloud. Readers can expect a story that melts the line between erotic surrender and emotional courage, leaving them warm, undone, and aching in the best possible way.
