    Summary

    Set in the early 19th Century, The Vidal Family’s standing comes into question when their sole heir and daughter, Rio Vidal, nears the age of seven-and-twenty, unmarried and far too preoccupied with the trouble of the neighbor’s adopted stable girl, Agatha.

    In the face of societal rumor mongering and her daughter's peculiarities, Lady Vidal orchestrates a summer of masquerades to help encourage Rio to procure a respectable engagement.

    But can one find love hiding behind a mask?

    OR

    Rio Vidal finds herself caught between the forbidden, unrealized feelings for a woman of the wrong class and the enchanting mystery of a masked suitor who promises everything society demands of her.

    Summary

    Agatha was born on land, but she was raised in the sea. As a mermaid, she had one very important rule: do not interact with humans.

    But Agatha has never been very good at following rules.

    Naturally, she gets caught up, literally, by a fishing boat and meets probably the most beautiful human she's ever laid eyes on.

    Rio had always had an interest in sea life. Her father was a fisherman, so it was only natural that she follow in his footsteps, listening to his stories of the mythological creatures that live below the surface.

    Her favorite stories are those of the mermaids though she knows that they're made up...or are they?

    When her fishing boat catches a mysterious (and beautiful) woman miles from shore, she starts to believe that there may be some truth to her father's stories.

    Summary

    The woman doesn’t look away. Instead she smiles. It’s not soft or overly friendly. It isn’t even warm. It’s coy.

    It makes Rio shiver slightly.

    No one watches the Secret Service. No one smiles at them. People avoid them. They lower their eyes as they walk past. Even seems to shrink themselves subconsciously. The authority makes them nervous.

    This woman doesn’t fear her. She doesn’t even seem intimated by her. She’s fascinated.

    Like a predator studying another predator. Trying to decide friend or foe.

    “I need intel on the brunette,” Rio snaps into her earpiece.

    Or:

    While assigned to the President’s detail, Secret Service agent Rio Vidal meets Agatha O’Connor, a socialite with old family money. Except that’s not Agatha’s name. Or Agatha’s job.

    Summary

    “We got engaged?”

    Rio looks at her, puzzled. Her eyes dart back and forth between Agatha’s.

    “You remember?” Rio asks carefully.

    Holy shit. She’s engaged to Rio.

    She’s engaged to Rio.

    Her heart feels like it’s about to give out and that burning in her ribs feels like fire.

    When did this happen?

    “Not really but I guess it makes sense.” She’s barely able to hear the words leave her mouth over the beating of her own heart.

    “So you remember Wanda?” Rio asks dejectedly. Agatha frowns, confused all over again.

    “Wanda?” She repeats. “Who’s Wanda?”

    —————————

    Agatha wakes up in hospital with amnesia after a car accident and immediately jumps to the very logical but extremely wrong conclusion about her best friend. As she tries to piece together her life with memories of Rio and no one else, she’s forced to ask herself an important question:

    Why did she agree to marry the wrong person?

    Summary

    “I just don’t understand where it’s coming from.”

    “You know where it’s coming from,” Agatha muttered.

    Rio scoffed. “Because I won’t let you fuck me? It’s not my fault I have a girlfriend.”

    “Yes, it is!” Agatha shouted. “Why the fuck do you have a girlfriend?”

    Rio couldn’t count on her fingers how many times they’d had this argument.

    “Because I’m in love with-”

    “No, you’re not,” Agatha cut in. “You know you’re not.”

    OR: Agatha inviting her friends to stay on her estate the summer before they graduate from Oxford is a good idea...right? Who cares if her best friend Rio brought her girlfriend with her? Who cares if you both know she'd rather be with you...?
