By the time the rain learned to fall upward, the old bridge had already swallowed three generations of names. Beneath it, where the river kept its own counsel and the city’s ordinary laws thinned into superstition, a teahouse opened after dusk for the grieving, the desperate, and those unfortunate enough to mistake a receipt for a promise. Every bargain came with a cup, a signature, and a clause written small enough to conceal a knife. Grief has always been willing to negotiate against its own interests; the more dangerous question is who profits when the dead cannot answer, and what, exactly, the third cup was designed to collect.

Susan Morris: This is a fantastic romance story! The writing, the timing, the flow, the characters were all great. I love the story because it involved a “process” I had not read about before in shifter romance and was well thought out and applied to this story. Cheers to the author!
