A Sweet Romance Series.
Fragments Of Us.
Book III | A Stain Of Love Series.
___
Indira and Giovanni were once married, once certain, once deeply in love. But words spoken in anger and pain on the night of their divorce left scars neither of them knew how to heal. They walked away from each other carrying regret, pride, and everything they never apologized for.
Years later, they're forced back into each other's lives by the same friend group that once watched them fall in love. Every shared glance is heavy. Every conversation is awkward. The spark between them still exists, lingering in the silence, in the things they avoid saying out loud.
Indira holds onto her grudge like a shield, even as guilt quietly eats away at her. Giovanni wants to take back the words that shattered them, but time has made the distance between them feel impossible to cross. They both want forgiveness-but neither knows how to begin.
Until Indira finally breaks.
In one emotional moment, she apologizes for everything-her overreaction, her silence, her love that never truly left. And suddenly, the past they tried to bury resurfaces, forcing them to confront the fragments of what they once were... and what they could still be...
