Valentine’s Day idea:
Flowers fade. Chocolates disappear.
Give them a story about loyalty, a past you can’t outrun, & just enough love to make it hurt a little.
SAINTS of the ASPHALT
Not just a basketball book.
For the one who likes stories with scars. 💔🏀

Matilda’s Retreat by @catcavendish.bsky.social has hit the world 😱
A remote house on a bleak moor, burdened by a past that refuses to stay buried. An ever-present darkness that has driven many owners away before... the house is still not ready to be claimed.
