Crimson Petals of the Midnight...

Hoang Nguyen

Beneath the chandeliers of the gilded ballroom in Veridia, where florists craft bouquets of midnight roses and shadowed dukes prowl with secrets etched in velvet, artisan Lila captivates Duke Harlan, a noble haunted by a lineage of cursed thorns. Their forbidden dance, spun in petal vows and shadowed steps, ignites a scandal that could wilt the court's fragile alliances or cultivate a garden of redemption. As they steal moments in hidden arbors and rose-laced alcoves, stalked by gossip weavers and thorned rivals, Lila's floral alchemy blends with Harlan's ducal enigma, revealing a midnight rose prophecy of thornless union. When a poisoned petal unleashes spectral blooms, they must waltz through the shadows to prune the curse. In the twirl of crimson petals, where every thorn pricks with desire and every waltz echoes forbidden longing, their romance becomes the bloom that defies the night's decree.

We were all alone, in a shaken and shattered house, in the dark. And I was in charge. 
 
 
 
Hannah Steele loves living on Pelling, a tiny island near Seattle. She's always felt totally safe there. 
 
 
 
So when she's asked to babysit after school one day, it's no big deal. Zoe and Oscar are her next-door neighbors, and Hannah just took a babysitting class, which she's pretty sure makes her an expert. She isn't even worried that she left her inhaler at home. 
 
 
 
Then the shaking begins. 
 
 
 
The terrifying earthquake only lasts four minutes, but it changes everything—damaging the house, knocking out the power, and making cell service nonexistent. Even worse, the ferry and the bridge connecting the kids to help—and their parents—are both blocked, which means they're stranded alone. And Hannah's in charge as things go from bad to worse.
