    ​"Nathan, I'm scared of loving again." ​His grip on my arms was firm, yet his touch was devastatingly gentle-as if he knew I was a flight risk. As if he promised never to let go. ​"I want you, Ama. I need you." ​With every slow, intense stroke of his hands against my skin, my carefully built walls began to crumble. He knew exactly what he did to me. This love had already shattered every boundary I possessed, and as he pulled me against his chest, his gaze locked onto mine with a hunger that threatened to consume me whole. ​"Please, Nathan... Not again," I whispered, a helpless breath lost between us. ​Ama swore she would never let anyone close enough to break her heart a second time. But Nathan doesn't just knock on her walls-he tears them down. Can she survive opening her heart to the one man who has the power to utterly destroy it?
