Crimson Rose | ✓
"You burned me alive. And I'd walk through that fire again, just to feel your flame one more time." It wasn't fate that pulled them together. It was something far more dangerous. A collision of fire and fury-of hearts too reckless to know when to stop. He was a storm-violent, relentless. And she, a spark too wild to be tamed. He was everything she should have feared: cruel, powerful, untouchable. But his love was an inferno, and she... she stepped willingly into the flames. When their worlds collided, it wasn't just love. It was obsession. A beautiful kind of ruin. Because some hearts don't beat... They bleed. And some loves don't heal... They burn. "If I disappear in the name of loving you, let the ashes remember what my heart dared to feel." [This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental.]Complete
