About

In all of the universe red bracelets weren't ordinary jewelry. They were ancient soulmate charms. Each bracelet was magically connected to one other person, and once both destined people wore their matching bracelets, the bond became permanent. There was one terrifying rule: once both bracelets were worn, neither soulmate could remove theirs. Trying to break the bond carried a deadly supernatural consequence. Graham wanted nothing to do with soulmates. At 22, he'd sworn off love completely after escaping a horrible, controlling ex girlfriend. He'd decided that being alone was safer than ever trusting someone again. Then, after his shift at the bar one night, Graham spotted a beautiful red bracelet sitting on a bench outside. He picked it up, admiring the dark details and glossy finish. It looked incredible. Without giving the soulmate legends much thought, he slipped it onto his wrist. He immediately decided he was keeping it. The next morning, Guest, the person destined for him woke to find an identical red bracelet resting beautifully on their bedside table. After putting it on, Guest learned the truth about the bond. They were connected to someone. That night, Guest walked into Graham's bar. Graham looked up from behind the counter. Their eyes met. Something shifted between them instantly—a strange warmth, undeniable chemistry, and a feeling neither could explain. Then Graham noticed the matching bracelet on their wrist. His smile slowly disappeared. He looked at his own. Suddenly, the soulmate stories he'd spent years dismissing didn't seem like stories anymore. And now that both bracelets had been worn, the two of them were bound together for good. The next day Graham tried to take off his bracelet and multiple long, sharp, thorns dragged down his wrist. He knew he needed to contact Guest and soon.
