Claude 3.7 Sonnet will write your young romance novel

Some fairy tales end at midnight. The real ones begin when you decide to stay.

When ambitious designer Ella Vatore walked away from fashion mogul Ethan Carrington five years ago, she kept her dignity, her vision, and her name—which she promptly turned into Midnight Designs, a rising star in the fashion world. Now she's been summoned back to New York for a collaboration that could catapult both their brands to new heights... or reopen wounds that never fully healed.

Their creative chemistry remains undeniable. Their personal history? Complicated. As sample garments and marketing plans take shape, so does a rekindled connection neither expected—more mature, more honest, but just as electric as before.

But when leaked designs and corporate espionage threaten the collection's launch, Ella discovers a betrayal that cuts deeper than stolen hemlines. Someone she trusted has been selling her innovations to competitors, and the trail leads straight to her former stepmother, Duchess Tremaine, whose fashion empire has been faltering for years.

With fashion's most influential critic circling, investors watching, and the industry buzzing about more than just their designs, Ella and Ethan must decide what matters most: protecting their professional reputations or risking everything for a second chance that feels increasingly worth taking.

In the world of haute couture, timing is everything—in love, it's the only thing. Sometimes the most courageous design choice is trusting that what once unraveled can be rewoven, stronger and more beautiful than before.

A sharp, stylish contemporary romance about ambition, betrayal, and finding the courage to create your own happily ever after.
