She never knew ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒโuntil she was asked to inherit someone elseโs.
๐ ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฑ๐ ๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฎ๐ป is just trying to make it through the day without falling apart.
By morning, sheโs teaching music to kindergartners.
By night, sheโs behind the bar at her late grandmotherโs nightclubโsome nights it smells like love, other nights like cigars.
A place where married men whisper promises theyโll never keep and single ones flirt just to see if they can make her blush.
Itโs loud, messy, and real. The only piece of her grandmotherโs ๐น๐ฒ๐ด๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ she has left.
At twenty-one, Melody is untouched by loveโor anyone at all.
Not because sheโs waiting for a fairytale, but because sheโs still learning how to live without the woman who raised her.
Then comes an ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ she never saw coming.
A dying woman.
A deal that ties her to a world she doesnโt understand.
And a name that changes ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ .

But beneath the perfection is a woman fighting a battle sheโs already losing.
Determined not to let chaos write her ending, Scarlett makes one final, chilling
She handpicks the woman who will take her place when sheโs gone.

A girl with grit and softness in the same breath.
A girl who was never supposed to touch her worldโor ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐บ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑโ๐ heart.
This isnโt a love triangleโitโs a love born from loss, choosing tenderness over control.
Scarlett believes sheโs protecting her legacy.
But ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ doesnโt play by rules, and ๐ด๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ณ never stays in its lane.
As ๐ ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฑ๐ and ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ป find comfort in shared loss, their connection turns from forbidden to undeniable.
And when Scarlettโs perfect plan unravels, she must face the in trying to control love, she may have destroyed it.
