One of the top trauma surgeons at her hospital, Scarlette Boone is just getting off her shift when her whole world is flipped upside down and she's thrown into a situation she never saw coming. Kidnapped and taken to a place to perform surgery, she had no idea how much longer she's going to live or die. But when she tries to escape, she finds a man in the basement who's been tortured and is barely alive. She realizes she can't leave without him, or he'll die, and she can't let that happen. But by saving him, she's thrown into a world she never knew existed, where a battle to save a realm is being fought by the man whose life her own is now entwined in. Can she accept her new destiny? Or will she walk away and forget about the man who haunts her dreams?

When I met him on a rainy afternoon the air smelt like gardenias. My black oxford pumps were soaked from accidentally stepping on a puddle, and the tiny yellow umbrella I held up barely saved me from the chilly rain. When I met him on a rainy afternoon, the sky was pink and blue. I was starving and almost craving to smell the stuffy scent of my closed up home's small living room. When I met him on a rainy afternoon, his son held my feet out of the blue and called me 'mum'. He rushed out of the restaurant only seconds later, his cheeks a pale flushed hue. When I met him one day on a rainy afternoon, he looked up into my eyes and apologized. And inside my head, I thought to myself... what a lovely way to meet a lovely man on such a lovely rainy afternoon. ••••••-••••••-••••••-••••••-••••••-•••••• 1st Draft - 15/03/18 2nd Draft - 08/08/20 Published : 28/08/21 | Paperback & Kindle Cover : Sierra Po Trailer : boba
