Dead Week: A Dark Why Choose MMF Romance

The Vigil doesn't haze. It watches. And it keeps what it pays for.

Margot Ellison has three rules at Wexford: practice at midnight, owe nothing she can't audit, and never ask who funds the scholarship that keeps her enrolled. Then a black summons appears on her music stand with her name on it - and Margot breaks her own rules in one signature.

The answers come wearing mirrored masks.

Two watchers hold her file. One talks like a symphony and lies like his father. One doesn't talk at all and has never once looked away. They know her coffee order, her bow grip, the measure where her cadenza cracks - and, she discovers on a wrong stair in the crypt, each other's mouths.

Dead Week has rules. Run if you want to be chased. Refuse anything by name. One word stops the world - and they will always, always stop.

But her file was never a scholarship. It's an invoice. And the man who intends to collect is the one man her watchers were built to obey.

DEAD WEEK is a standalone dark why-choose romance in The Vigil series - two masked men who share everything (including each other), a consensual hunt across a candlelit campus, and a debt that comes due at graduation. Scorching MMF heat, real stakes, no cliffhanger, guaranteed HEA. 18+.
