Solstice

This work contains coercive relationships and graphic scenes. Please keep this in mind while reading.

This work is fiction. The names of the people, places, and organizations that appear in the story are fictional, and the described judicial procedures and administrative systems differ from reality.

Agent River Winsted, who has been suspended, is given a dangerous undercover infiltration mission in exchange for reinstatement.

The mission: become the lover of Alessandro, the son of her enemy and the first love who betrayed her, and steal information.

“Only one of us has changed, Alessandro. I’ve changed too.”

River, disguised under a false identity, succeeds in entering the house where no woman has ever been invited.

“Then what if, what if...

your appearance on this stage, and in front of me of all people, is a trick by God?”

Under those freezing blue eyes, everything begins to go wrong.

“What... exactly are you?”

Alessandro.

The only labels that should cling to him are hatred and resentment.

Because this feeling must never be called love.
