She survived the man that tried to silence her.

She wasn’t looking for love… until he lit a fire she couldn’t ignore.

Talia knows what it means to survive. After years of hiding bruises and pretending everything was fine, one final betrayal pushes her to walk away for good. She’s not searching for romance—she’s chasing freedom, peace, and a chance to find herself again.

Then she meets Damian.

Sexy. Quietly intense. And armed with a slow, seductive smile that undoes her in all the right ways. He doesn’t just see her—he awakens her. With one touch, one smoldering kiss, he shows her what it feels like to want. To crave. To burn.

Talia tries to resist him. But with every stolen moment, every heated night tangled in his sheets, she falls harder—for his strength, his tenderness, and the way he makes her feel like she finally belongs to herself.

Just when she starts to believe in something real, a secret from Damian’s past threatens to destroy it all. Now Talia must choose: stay hidden in the safety she’s built—or risk everything for a love that’s fierce, flawed, and breathtakingly real.
