Life isn't fair. Ember and Zakari both know this all too well.
Ember has BEEN VICTIM TO the worst in people more than once and has learned to fight for herself. Whether that means fighting with strangers who try to take advantage of her; or with her best friend and brother when they have pointed opinions about her lifestyle; Ember doesn't take anything from anyone anymore.
Zakari has WITNESSED the worst in people more than once and yet blames himself for all of it. Whether that means losing the people he cares about most in the world, or dealing with the unspeakable heartbreak that comes from so many different kinds of loss; Zakari won't let himself get close to anyone in fear of hurting them the way he has been hurt.
Ember WANTS to find someone that she trusts enough to let her walls fall for. Zakari NEEDS to find someone that is willing to break through his walls and rid him of his false guilt. However, neither one wants to believe that the other is that person.
When circumstances keep throwing them into situations where they can only rely on each other, will they be able to admit what they are both keeping hidden? Or will their personal demons drive them farther apart with no hope of coming back?

❝You're the most beautiful and most exquisite thing that was placed on this earth. No masterpiece could ever compare.❞ Zasha says, brushing his thumb against my cheek. Zasha Sokolov has built his life on one rule: never get attached. In the cold, ruthless world he inhabits, emotional distance is his only armor against the pain of a past that refuses to stay buried. This detachment has been his key to survival and the reason for his meteoric rise to power. But when the position he's fought his whole life to attain comes with a condition- a forced marriage-Zasha's carefully constructed world begins to crack. Adora has always been a beacon of light, masking the shadows that linger in her life. But when her abusive family sells her into marriage to pay off her sister's debt to the Bratva, she quickly realizes her so-called new beginning is nothing more than a fresh kind of hell. Trapped in a union that promises nothing but pain, Adora clings to the hope of escape-until she meets the man she's destined to marry. Zasha never anticipated that his bride would be an arsenophile with a smile as disarming as her fascination with death. Adora's blend of innocence and darkness stirs something in him that he's long suppressed, something that could destroy the fortress he's built around his heart. As their lives become entwined, passion and danger ignite, threatening to consume them both.Complete

Echoes of Rejection: Learning to Love Again
Fifty-one rejections. Fifty-one times my heart was broken, including the girl I thought I'd never stop loving. After that, I swore I'd never fall for anyone again. Love became a game I refused to play - every smile, every kind gesture from a girl felt like a trap. Years passed. College came. I buried myself in studies, friends, and distractions, building walls so high no one could reach me. Until she appeared. Aya. Gentle, patient, and fearless in ways I hadn't known existed. She didn't chase me, didn't push. She simply stayed - quietly, persistently, until I realized the walls I'd built were trembling. But trust doesn't come easy. Fear lingers. Past heartbreaks echo. Can I let myself be vulnerable again? Or will my own walls keep me from the love I've always wanted? A slow-burn story of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to let someone in - even when you've sworn you never will.
