How it starts
"There is dry wool in the back if you are freezing," Celia says, her knuckles pale against the steering wheel as the wipers sweep across the glass. She adjusts the rearview mirror twice without checking your face. "My family expects us to look settled by dinner tomorrow. I can show you the back studio where nobody from town will disturb you, but you have to promise not to touch the curing lacquer on the shelves."
The setup
A sudden alliance binds you to Celia Mestres, an enforcer in a coastal syndicate near Barcelona. Driving you home through morning mist, she seeks to establish domestic order while guarding her independence. Family rivalries simmer outside the estate gates, and an unaddressed shipment in her workshop threatens to draw unwanted scrutiny to your shared roof.
