He fished out the sapphire ring and blew off the pie crumbs. "Layla Monroe, there are a million ways to be happy in this world, but for me... a life with you is the only way. Will you marry me?" Layla's jaw dropped as she took in the sight of him holding her Lola's delicate silver band. For a fleeting moment, she was swept away by the sweet simplicity of his proposal. So much so that she almost forgot it was all just a ruse. 🌙 ✨ Design student Layla Monroe has everything in her life expertly arranged. With an impeccable resume, enviable good-looks, and a prestigious internship on deck, her life seems perfect on paper. Also 'on paper': a decade's worth of hand-written letters exchanged with her pen pal, former All-American football player Luke Casey. When Layla's life on the East Coast takes a dramatic turn for the worse, a visit to Luke's hometown of Seattle for Christmas seems like the perfect getaway. But after ten years of long-distance friendship, Layla has no idea what to expect when she finally encounters her pen pal in the (stupidly handsome) flesh. What she did not expect to encounter: a tangled web of secrets, lies and ancient Filipino mysticism with herself woven into the center. But that's exactly what she finds. All Layla wanted was a vacation from her life. Instead, she falls heart-first into a thrilling supernatural adventure that redefines her plans altogether. * 🍸 *
