Zara Evans has come to the Aurelia Theater, home to the visionary director Leopold Henneman, to play her dream role in Echo and Ariston, the Greek tragedy that taught her everything she knows about love. When the director asks Zara to promise that she will have no outside commitments, no distractions, it's easy to say yes. But it's hard not to be distracted when there's a death at the theater — and then another — especially when Zara doesn't know if they're accidents, or murder, or a curse that always comes in threes. It's hard not to be distracted when assistant lighting director Eli Vasquez, a girl made of tattoos and abrupt laughs and every form of light, looks at Zara. It's hard not to fall in love. In heart-achingly beautiful prose, Amy Rose Capetta has spun a mystery and a love story into an impossible, inevitable whole — and cast lantern light on two girls, finding each other on a stage set for tragedy.

“Someone needs to make you come completely undone, Sydney Parker.” His
tongue moved slowly over his lips. “That someone is going to be me.” Goal-oriented
Sydney Parker has never had a problem focusing. She’s about to start
law school, the first step on her way to the Supreme Court. With no time
for relationships, she lives vicariously through her best friend Brynn,
who has recently decided to use sex as a research tool. Sydney,
however, hasn’t been laid in years. Men are a distraction, one Sydney
has diligently avoided…until Jackson West crashes into her life, and
under her hood. The last thing Sydney needs is a hot
mechanic working on her ‘69 Camaro. Especially a hot mechanic with eyes
like the ocean and lick-me abs, who claims to be better in bed than a
werewolf. Jax thinks that’s exactly what Sydney needs. But Sydney has goals, and a relationship with the enigmatic Jax would challenge her. Distract her. Tempt her. Sydney is about to find out that temptation is very hard to resist. Views: 63
