If there was one thing Blaze Vitale perfected over the long years of suffering and pain, that was pretending to be okay and making "I'm fine," the most common lie in human history believable. He had to be fine. For his brother. He decided to be fine and made himself smile. It was hard, but he had to do it right-with a smile. Then she came along, the woman who had the same face as his beloved. He was a mess and broken, and he thought she was his salvation, that she was the answer to his affliction... But he was wrong... because instead of fixing him, she broke him even more. CECELIB | C.C. WARNING: MATURE CONTENT | R-18 COMPLETED Cover: Astrid Jaydee
