    Summary

    Zosia never meant to fall for the woman behind her grandmother’s favorite romance novels.
    Carol Sturka writes sweeping straight love stories and guards her private life carefully. But one late-night message turns curiosity into connection, and connection into something neither of them can ignore.

    One lives in New York. The other in Albuquerque.
    And falling in love might cost more than just the distance between them.

    Summary

    “Zosia, when I look at you I feel sick to my stomach.” That was not what Zosia was expecting to hear. From the look on her face, it was not what Carol had come in expecting to say either. She had stopped pacing. Zosia just gaped at her, front door still hanging open. “I didn’t mean it like that.”

    Zosia shut the door and went to sit back down on the sofa. She looked up at Carol, and crossed her arms. “What could you have possibly meant it like?”

    Carol sighed, and started pacing again.

    “I used you. I hurt you, I drugged you, I blew you up, and I fucked you. I did all of those things knowing that you might still be in there, knowing that you couldn’t consent. I can’t sleep at night because every time I shut my eyes I think about every horrible thing I did to your body and now you’re back, you’re back because I wanted you to be back, I wanted it to be you, and now I can’t even look at you.” True to her word, Carol was staring up at the ceiling. The words poured out of her like sputum.

    “To be fair, I killed your wife.”

    “That’s not funny.”

    “I’m not joking.”
