An egotist heart. And a man who loves that very heart-fiercely, foolishly, endlessly. When fate forces their paths to cross again after a shattered breakup, the spark between them ignites once more. But this fire is not the rebirth of love. It is the echo of a past that never truly died. It is attraction tangled with obsession, desire mixed with possessiveness, and memories that refuse to fade. Everything between them becomes jumbled and dangerously intense. No matter how hard they try to restrain their emotions, their hearts betray them. Love remains unspoken-hidden behind her towering ego and buried beneath his confusing, half-spoken confessions. She refuses to bend. He refuses to stop loving. Between pride and passion, silence and longing, they stand at the edge of a fate neither can escape. Will the egotist heart finally surrender... or will the heart madly in love lose itself trying to win her? And will destiny be kind enough to let them tie their souls together-or cruel enough to keep them apart forever?
