About the Books
Emily McIntire has built a reputation for taking the world's most iconic tragic love stories and rewriting them with the endings readers always wished for, and the Defying the Stars series is her boldest reimagining yet. Set in the wealthy, secret-soaked town of Rosebrook Falls, the series follows interconnected couples whose love is tangled up in generations-old family feuds, hidden identities, and dangerous loyalties. Burning Daylight opens the series as a Romeo and Juliet retelling, introducing Juliette Calloway, daughter of Rosebrook Falls' most powerful family, and Roman Montgomery, the hidden heir of her family's sworn enemies, whose reckless chemistry collides head-on with a blood feud neither can escape. Forsaking Midnight continues the story as a Lancelot and Guinevere retelling, centering on Lance Calloway, a man forged by years of brutal loyalty, and Genevieve DeGrance, who discovers the one man she's forbidden to love is the only person she trusts. Both novels are interconnected standalones, each delivering its own complete happily ever after while building the larger web of secrets running through Rosebrook Falls. Readers who love forbidden romance, enemies-to-lovers tension, and classic retellings given fresh, satisfying endings will find this set impossible to put down.
