Book Excerpt:

"This is a short story … so quick that it moves fast. No slow burn, no filler. This couple gets right to the point. 

Nova Bradford and Mikhail Luther have a long history. They've known each other since they were students at Blythe T. Young Magnet High School. Mikhail was the handsome high school jock with the pretty homecoming queen on his arm and Nova, well Nova was the ugly duckling no one cared about. After years of working on her self-confidence thanks to a friend and therapy, she finally decides, albeit reluctantly, to embark on a school reunion cruise to a tropical paradise where she will come face to face with her former classmates that taunted her every day. What she doesn't expect to find is Mikhail, alone and not the same young man from school. What follows seems unlikely, but it's also the thing they both needed ..."

"The Swan:  Carvivale Chronicles" by Aja

My Speculation:

What an enjoyable read 'The Swan' was that featured Nova and Mikhail.  I loved how Nova was finally able to overcome her insecurities when it came to being with Mikhail and being the beautiful 'Swan' that she was to him.  And having Mikhail admit his love for Noval was even sweeter. 

Yes, the intimacy was hot, but seeing the transformation from the story gave the readers one good emotional read.
