COMPLETE BUT FINESSING
Ari Nichols's life in Alaris is far different from how she grew up. Accountant by day & homebody by night, Ari is happy with her quiet life. She only ventures out for dinners with friends, work events, or the rare blind date...
Thank you for opening my story. This is my first share and I'm so nervous, but I've had a lot of fun writing it. I hope you will leave me advice and encouragement along the way.
Without giving details, I did want to go ahead and say that this book probably needs a trigger warning. I don't handle many types of graphic scenes in books and movies well myself, but some of the themes I will cover might be tough for some people.

Next is Ari Nichols. I'm a little less tied to Ari's specific facial features. I see her as tall and thin - fragile. Mainly I saw grey eyes, thin wrists, and long blonde hair. More about Ari comes up in the story, I don't want to get too into it here.

I'll introduce you to my inspiration for other characters as things are revealed about them. How do you picture them? I'd love to hear in the comments after you've started reading!
