Tadhg Lynch is fire and silence. With a brutal past and a father who taught him fear behind closed doors, Tadhg wears his trauma like armor - sharp, defensive, and unreadable. Nightmares chase him, trust eludes him, and peace is something he's convinced he'll never earn. He recognizes pain the way others recognize faces - fast, instinctively. Especially in her. Ciara Bellemore is light dimmed too soon. Graceful and polite on the outside, she hides bruises beneath long sleeves and hope beneath whispered prayers. With a mother fading from illness and a home filled with silence and control, Ciara clings to the only comfort she knows: angels, feathers, and a belief in something better. When they collide, it's friction and fire. She thinks he's arrogant and angry. He thinks she's fake and fragile. But pain recognizes pain - and slowly, behind the bickering and glares, a quiet understanding grows.

Siente que se ahoga en las expectativas que el mundo ha depositado en ella, como si cada gesto y cada decisión debieran estar a la altura de un ideal que ella nunca eligió seguir.

Sin embargo, en lo más profundo de su dolor, aún guarda una chispa de esperanza, una necesidad casi desesperada de redención, de encontrar algo, o a alguien, que le recuerde que todavía es posible volver a empezar
