   Summary

   After walking away from the suicide attempt she'd planned, Peony Bryant goes back to her now practically empty apartment. Forced to face a life she'd expected to leave, Peony tries to make the most of the extra time she's given herself.

   Luckily for her, a horror circus is in town. Two of her favorite things combined is guaranteed to be fun! But how much can a new circus change things?

   With the circus performer Harlequin in the picture, maybe a lot more than she'd originally thought.
