I’ve lived with a shadow for years—an invisible weight trailing behind every move I make. I pretend I don’t notice, but I do. I bury the unease under work, trying to make a name for myself. When I land the promotion of my dreams, what lurks in the dark refuses to stay hidden. Love that I never expected to find vows to burn the world to keep me safe, and God have mercy for the soul of the one who lights the match. Nothing burns hotter than love blooming amid an empire of ruin. THIS IS A DARK ROMANCE WITH HEAVY TRIGGERS. READER'S DISCRETION IS HIGHLY ADVISED.
