Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans.
Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore.
But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done.
"You still look at me the same way," she muttered, hating the way her voice wavered.
Tayler smirked, stepping closer, his voice low and daring. "And you still get flustered when I do."
She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?
[An Indian romance thriller...with twists and secrets]
"One never truly fathoms the weight of another's arrival until their presence shifts the course of existence-be it toward ruin or redemption."
Some wounds never heal.
Some stories are written in silence, buried beneath the weight of betrayal and loss.
But when the past refuses to stay hidden, and revenge becomes the only way forward, even the purest hearts can turn to fire.
This is not just about justice.
It's about untangling the threads of love, hate, and everything in between.
Because sometimes, in the pursuit of redemption, you end up finding yourself.
