Evelyn Rose Hart is not interested in hope.
Not anymore.
At eighty years old, she knows exactly what life is: a quiet house, an aching body, cold tea beside her chair, and the empty space where her wife Jules used to sit. Jules has been gone for nine years, but Evelyn has kept the world exactly as she left it. Her chair. Her mug. Her memory. Her absence.
Then Mary, Evelyn's caregiver and the only person stubborn enough to love her through every sharp edge, insists they leave the house for Evelyn's birthday.
A cinnamon roll. A short walk. Fresh air.
That was the plan.
The Arcane Room was not.
Tucked between ordinary storefronts, the strange little tarot shop seems to know too much about the wishes people are afraid to make. There, Evelyn draws The Star, a card of hope, healing, and impossible renewal.
Evelyn does not believe in any of that.
The Star believes in her anyway.
After one sip of enchanted tea, Evelyn wakes in her eighteen-year-old body on the night of her senior prom. Her parents are alive. The house she grew up in is exactly as she remembers. Her future is still unwritten.
And waiting in the living room, wearing a red dress and a smile Evelyn would know in any lifetime, is Jules.
Not the sick version. Not the ghost of memory. Jules at eighteen, impossibly young and somehow still hers.
For one night, Evelyn gets the love story time denied them. The photographs they never took. The dance they never had. The chance to say what grief left unsaid.
But The Star is not offering escape.
It is offering a choice.
Evelyn can cling to the beautiful dream of what might have been, or she can return to the living world with the truth Jules always wanted her to understand: love does not ask us to stop living when it leaves.
Star Crossed is a heartfelt, magical sapphic Romantasy, interconnected standalone, in a novel about grief, second chances, late-life love, tarot magic, and the kind of hope that does not erase the darkness, but teaches us how to walk through it.
Welcome to Tarot Fantasies, where one card can grant your deepest wish, but every wish comes with a truth.
