They ignite like flames fueled by lust, never asking for more, never imagining consequences. When passion collides with secrets, will lust and love survive the truth-or will the flame of lies consume them both? Started: 03/29/20 Finished: 06/16/20

Siverio Series # 1 Floralya Laurencia Evasco grew up in the quiet, slow-paced life of the province, where every day felt like a soft whisper of time passing. But her heart always raced and beat furiously for one person---Leor Alejandro Siverio. Her best friend's older brother, the man she had secretly admired for as long as she could remember. She would wait for him every summer just to catch a glimpse of him. He never stayed long---until one summer changed everything. In stolen glances, in their shared moments in silence, and the warmth of his presence, her feelings blossomed into something deeper, like the flowers in her garden. But seasons change, and summer was never meant to last forever. Just like the flowers that once bloomed so beautifully, some things are meant to wither and fade.
