Sometimes the person you least expect becomes the one thing you can't live without.
Eia Maice I'oveioure isn't your typical girl. She's blunt, brutally honest, and has an attitude sharp enough to keep anyone from getting too close. People call her rude-she calls it self-defense. After all, trusting someone means giving them the power to break you, and Eia swore never to let that happen again. She's never been the type to believe in happy endings. For Eia, fairy tales don't exist-only reality, and reality has always been cruel.
Then there's Aclei Crae Devrioux. Calm. Collected. Nonchalant. The kind of guy who seems detached from the world yet notices everything. He doesn't speak much, but when he does, his words carry weight. Genuine. Sweet in ways that don't feel forced. The kind of presence that sneaks into your life without warning-and stays.
Their meeting wasn't magical. It wasn't even perfect. It was a clash-her fire against his quiet, her sharp words against his steady calm. They were too different to work...yet somehow, Aclei becomes the one person who sees through her walls-the one who isn't afraid of her sharp edges, the one who never runs when she pushes people away. And for the first time, Eia wonders: what if someone could love her for who she really is?
But love isn't simple. And life isn't a fairy tale. Between secrets, fears, and the heavy question lingering between them, Eia can't help but ask herself:
Can someone who's forgotten how to love learn to trust again? And can a man who loves quietly heal a woman who's only known storms? Or will their differences tear them apart before they ever get the chance?
