LET IT ALL BURN | Book 2
The narrative has given them another chance, a new page to rewrite their story. A new timeline. A new chance. Is history bound to repeat itself? - 'The blood of the butterfly had laced into her veins, burning into a longing, a yearning as ancient as time itself.' Katya Hawthorne doesn't know how to love. Duty, sacrifice, martyrdom--that is her destiny. Her frozen heart only knows her younger cousins, nothing and no one else, not even herself. But now they aren't here, and she is forced to confront the truths lying beneath the ice. Theo Hawthorne only knows how to be a chairman and the eldest Hawthorne cousin. Ruthless, powerful, warm to his younger cousins--that is all he is. Without their younger cousins, with only her, he must face the truest desires of his heart. He must face what it means to truly feel, what his ruthlessness will become when flooded with a love the likes of which his soul has never felt. But in the pursuit of rewriting history, they risked repeating it with their own two hands. And the flutter of a butterfly's wings could easily whirl into faithless devotion. - [Book 2 of the House of Butterflies series]
