She had only one person in the world-her mother.
Until one brutal night stole everything.
Orphaned and hunted, she escapes with nothing but rage in her heart and shadows in her past.
Alone, she begins a new life under a different sky-where her scars are secrets and her silence is survival.
Then she meets him.
Charming. Protective. Dangerous in all the wrong ways.
He becomes the one light in her dark world. The boy who sees through her armor and makes her feel alive again.
Love blossoms like fire... but fire burns.
As they fall deeper, old wounds reopen.
Memories return.
And a single encounter on graduation day shatters the fragile peace she built.
The past is no longer behind her.
It's right in front of her-smiling.
And the curse of love is only just beginning.
