❝our eyes met, and our souls caught on fire.❞ ═════════════════════ Carla Marshall was a storm that could not be contained, her thunder rumbling and her lightning flashing, but her beauty could only be seen when the rain began to fall. The raindrops were her tears, the storm was her sorrow, but when she opened herself up to the world, she revealed a rainbow of hope and light. She was a rare thing, a force of nature, a tempest of emotion, and those who saw her for who she truly was knew that she was more than a storm cloud. She was the sun after the rain, the promise of a new beginning. She's always had to fight to survive, whether it's against the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father or the challenges of everyday life. But now that she's a freshman at CSUN, she's determined to forge a new path for herself. She wants to make friends and build a future for herself, but trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes. When she meets Valen Monroe, a cocky and arrogant student who seems to have it all, the last thing she wants is to be around him. Valen Monroe was a force to be reckoned with, both inside and outside of the ring. As a boxing champion for two years running, he had a fierce reputation and an even fiercer gaze. His devilish looks and charming smile had many a girl swooning, but there was one girl who refused to fall under his spell. A girl with a quick temper and even quicker fists. When his friend was on the receiving end of her punch, Valen's interest was piqued. He knew there was more to her than met the eye, and he was determined to find out what it was.
