People love telling stories about ballerinas becoming their Black Swan like darkness suddenly appears the moment someone finally lets go, but Blair Lockwood has spent her entire life knowing it doesn't work that way. In the Lockwood family, dancing both the White Swan and the Black Swan is practically inherited, and Blair has everything she should need to pull it off. She has the technique and the discipline and the control, yet every time she performs the Black Swan, something still feels missing, like she's reaching for a version of herself she can never fully touch. Then Lovina Ander arrives at the academy and suddenly everybody's attention shifts. Blair thought Lovina was coming for the role. She didn't realize Lovina's attention had been drifting toward her the entire time. And somewhere between rivalry and obsession and the pressure of becoming the dancer her family expects her to be, Blair starts discovering parts of herself she was never supposed to touch.

Isabelle was raised to fear sin. She never expected to crave it. After a violent raid leaves her with nothing but a child and a past that could get her killed, she disappears into a lawless town and becomes someone else. Lilith Hale. But lies don't survive women like Josephine, a cold-eyed cowgirl who sees too much, gets too close, and doesn't believe in forgiveness. Isabelle should fear her. Instead, she can't stay away. What grows between them is wrong in every way Isabelle was raised to believe-and impossible to resist. Because the closer she gets, the more her faith begins to fracture... into something darker, something consuming. Something that feels like truth. And some sins don't ask to be forgiven. They demand to be chosen. ____ This is set in 1849 California. (It's WLW)
