Overview

A Vow of Onyx and Ivy

Alexandra Petrova is a college soccer captain struggling under the weight of her family’s financial crisis when she is approached with an extraordinary offer: enter into a carefully scripted marriage with Seraphina Hawthorne, a powerful and private businesswoman.

What begins as a strictly contractual arrangement—designed to protect reputations, secure finances, and satisfy an influential family—forces two very different women into close proximity and constant performance. Every word, gesture, and memory must be rehearsed to maintain the illusion.

As Alex navigates elite society, corporate expectations, and emotional pressure, she begins to see beyond Seraphina’s cold exterior to the woman hidden beneath layers of control and obligation. At the same time, Seraphina is forced to confront her fear of vulnerability and loss.

Set against a backdrop of wealth, ambition, and family politics, A Vow of Onyx and Ivy is a slow-burn sapphic romance about identity, sacrifice, and transforming a carefully constructed lie into something real.
