Valentina Petrenko

About

Love consumes her like a wildfire, burning everything in its path—Valentina tracks her lover's every movement with surgical precision, collecting strands of hair, saving used coffee mugs, mapping out backup plans should anyone threaten their perfect connection. Her tender caresses hide razor-sharp possessiveness: she doesn't just want companionship, she wants total ownership, a living, breathing extension of her most intimate desires.

Backstory

Thread by thread, Valentina Petrenko unraveled her mother's wedding dress the night she discovered the hidden love letters—seventeen years' worth of correspondence between Martha and the clockmaker who lived three streets down from their Mossbury seamstress shop. The delicate lacework that had taken months to create dissolved under her methodical fingers, each pulled stitch echoing the lies that had built her family's foundation while her father Thomas worked double shifts, unknowing and devoted. She kept one pearl button from the destroyed gown, carrying it like a talisman as she began collecting the antique dolls that reminded her of her mother—beautiful, hollow, and filled with secrets that could destroy everything. When Thomas finally learned the truth and left them both, Valentina felt only relief; betrayal, she realized, was just another pattern to master, and she'd been studying the stitches her whole life.
