Dark Waltz

I didn't plan to step into the glittering chaos of the masquerade. I was supposed to be just another guest blending into the crowd, sipping champagne and pretending not to notice the undercurrents of power and intrigue swirling around me. But then I met him-James, the man whose presence could command an entire room without a single word. One dance, and suddenly I'm caught in a dangerous game where the stakes are my life and his secrets are the currency everyone is after. And then there's Clara, a rival with a smile sharp enough to draw blood, and Magnus, a shadowy figure who's used to winning at any cost. Trust me, I'm no damsel waiting to be rescued, but navigating this labyrinth of masked deception might be more than I bargained for. The thing is, I don't back down. Not from a challenge, not from danger, and certainly not from a man who keeps pulling me deeper into a world that could ruin us both. So, are you ready to see how far this dance will go? Because I have a feeling this is just the beginning.
