Strange Seduction

Three years of long-distance. Two weeks together. One tragic ending.

After three years of long-distance love, Carmen Reyes and Theodore Clayton never thought they’d share the same space again, let alone the same bed. But fate hands them a fragile window: two weeks together in Italy before Carmen’s high-profile legal career whisks her away to New York.

It should’ve been simple—a quick catch-up and a romantic getaway. But nothing about them has ever been simple. What should have been a sweet, nostalgic reunion quickly spirals into chaos.

Old wounds resurface, secrets fester, and the clock ticks louder daily.

It turns out that loving someone across an ocean is hard. But being back in the same room, facing everything they’ve been avoiding? That might be even harder.
