The Sweetest Decay (Decadance)

By Reeven Blackwood

In the shadowed heart of Paris's Latin Quarter, Yesenia Castillo bakes to survive the grief that's consumed her since the loss of her brother, Ricardo-a once-renowned chocolatier whose brilliance was eclipsed by addiction. Her solace lies in the kitchen, where flour and fire blur the lines between memory and desire.

Javier Moreno, Ricardo's best friend and Europe's reigning chocolate artisan, has always been more than a mentor to Yesenia. He's the man she's secretly loved since girlhood-the one who taught her to temper chocolate and shield her heart. But when a reclusive artist known only as L'Ombre arrives in Paris, his obsession with Yesenia sparks a dangerous rivalry.

As young women begin to vanish from the Quarter, Yesenia finds herself caught between two men: one who holds her past, and one who threatens her future. With every disappearance, the city's sweetness curdles into dread, and Yesenia must confront the darkness that binds them all.

In this haunting dark romance, passion and peril entwine, and the most dangerous secrets are the ones we crave.
