  Description：
  When Mia's boyfriend Ash vanishes, he leaves behind a chilling set of rules and a monthly deposit of $13,750. All she has to do is stay inside their luxurious villa. Simple, right? But the rules are terrifyingly specific: don't eat food with red eyes, don't wear the red fur in the closet, don't sleep on the bed if it bleeds. And a final, ominous warning: trust your roommates, but not completely. Mia dismisses it as a bizarre joke—until she learns Ash died the day before he was with her. Now, trapped within the villa's walls with her eerily compliant roommates—Scarlett, Mona, and Luna—Mia realizes the rules are a matter of life and death. A plate with human eyes appears at her door, and the line between reality and nightmare blurs. To survive and uncover the truth behind Ash's death, Mia must navigate a web of deception, supernatural horror, and the sinister secrets hidden in the very home meant to be her gilded cage. Can she follow the rules long enough to escape, or will breaking one be her last mistake?

Arthur Delaney sets out on a punishing 20-year journey across Canada to find them.

  My peaceful existence gets body-checked when a brooding, grumpy hockey player moves in next door . . .  
   
   
   
  The first time I meet Niall O'Rourke, he greets me, wearing little more than a scowl and a demeanor colder than the ice he skates on. My deeply ingrained Southern manners force me to give him the benefit of the doubt, but every interaction we share convinces me he's a grade-A jerk. 
   
   
   
  I do my best to avoid him, that is, until he makes a proposition too good to refuse: I pretend to be his fiancée, and in return, he'll appear on my local television show, which could give Bigfoot's Hairy Tale the ratings bump needed for national syndication. 
   
   
   
  Despite our personalities clashing like hockey sticks, I discover beneath his brawny exterior is a man burdened by a complex past and a wounded heart. 
   
   
   
  But I'm not interested in "fixing" him. I've been down that road before, and it never ends well. If only Niall weren't so hellbent on using his lips to convince me otherwise. 
   
   
   
  It's going to take everything in me to evade the enforcer. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
