Mayluna

Kelley McNeil

2024

The safe choice. The choice of her heart. Two hundred years apart, are Evie and Jacquette so different?

In Mayluna, Kelley McNeil gives us a modern rock-star romance shaped by desire (burning), timing (poor), and the consequences of choosing between two very different futures (heartbreaking). Evie’s dilemma echoes the emotional heart of Butterfly Games: Jacquette, too, must weigh the man who offers security against the man she cannot stop loving. Neither woman always makes the best decisions, and each pays the price.

The settings could hardly be more different—modern America and late-Napoleonic Sweden—but both novels ask whether the safest choice is ever the simplest one.
