He wasn't used to distractions. Emotions were a weakness he couldn't afford. He ruled with an iron will, his control absolute. People like her didn't belong in his world. She was chaos-and chaos got people killed. But hell, chaos had never looked so damn good before. She had sworn men were nothing but distractions at best. She risked her life, not her heart. But somehow, she found herself ensnared in his dangerous world, as if she were the one pulling the strings, dragging herself deeper into his orbit with every reckless step. ----- But what happens when two unstoppable forces collide? When fire meets ice, when chaos challenges control-do they destroy each other, or burn even brighter together? In a world where power is everything and love is a liability, their connection could be their greatest strength... or the reason they fall. The real question is: Will they survive the fire, or will they burn in it?

She's the chaos. He's the steady one. Amy never planned on falling for Zahn; the quiet, disciplined boy who somehow became her unofficial babysitter. He wakes her up for classes, steals her junk food, nags about grades, and lectures her like a mom... yet somehow ends up being the only place she feels safe. She's lazy, reckless, dramatic, and far too spoiled, her favorite daily routine is pushing his buttons. He's grumpy, easily exasperated, always rolling his eyes... but secretly, a total softie. Together, they're messy, heartfelt, and inseparable, even when life (and their own mistakes) try to tear them apart. Because love isn't always soft edges and fairytales. It's laughter, heartbreak, healing... and holding on anyway. (Cover drawn by me)
