Nowhere but you
Whispers travel fast, dear readers... It seems fate has orchestrated a most deliciously inconvenient arrangement-two souls, utterly at odds, stranded together with no means of escape. A free-spirited traveler Iris Young and a brooding enigma Orion James, trapped together in the wilderness. A battle of wits, tempers, and undeniable tension has begun dear readers. A war of sharp words, stolen glances, and an attraction so fierce it could melt even the iciest of hearts. But beneath the icy glares and sharp words, something far more dangerous stirs-something neither of them dares to name. The question is not whether sparks will fly, but rather... how long before they ignite? A most enthralling tale is about to unfold... and I, for one, shall be watching closely. Scandalously yours, Amara 🪬
