*It was supposed to be just another night.

Glitter. Music. Networking under Atlanta lights.

A party Angel Buchanan knew by heart.

But one unexpected moment changes everything.

A photographer’s push.
A staged shot.
An angel… crashing into a devil.

Sincere Lee.

Charming. Magnetic. Unapologetically intense.

What begins as playful chemistry quickly deepens into something neither of them planned — a conversation that lingers, a connection that feels… familiar.

Because beneath the costumes, they’re both carrying something heavier than the night was meant to hold.

For Sin, it’s a birthday shadowed by loss.
For Angel, it’s a date she’s been trying to survive.

And as the night unfolds, laughter turns to vulnerability… and vulnerability turns into something far more dangerous:

a connection that doesn’t ask permission.

But some encounters aren’t just chance.

They’re turning points.

Because while Angel is stepping into something new…
something from her past refuses to let her go.

And what starts as one unforgettable night…

becomes the beginning of everything that follows.

“I thought this was just going to be about one night… but it turned into so much more. Definitely wasn’t expecting it to hit like that.”
— A. Cunningham
