Embracing My Light (Moribund Series #2)

Embracing Series#2: COMPLETE || You can read this as a stand alone ||

They say time heals all wounds, but for Cashleigh Kirche Sandoval, time has only acted as a bandage over a scar that never truly closed. Having grown used to abandonment, she grew up relying on no one but herself making her build a strong wall to protect herself.

But what happens if her vulnerability shows to someone she never expected would care for her? Would she let that person inside her walls? Will she show that person her wounds or will she forever keep it to herself to avoid getting hurt?

Caleb Rye Santiago is used to being the rebel, the fighter, and the one who survived- but did he really survive? Living in a cycle of gang fights and guilt, he made a silent vow: he would never let anyone he loves bleed for him again. Haunted by the night his brother died to save him, Caleb transformed himself into a shield, taking every hit and every blade meant for others.

So when he was forced to make an impossible choice between his past and his future, the true cost of his protection is finally revealed. Can he answer a question despite knowing that whatever answer he give lies a consequence.

In a world where light can burn just as easily as it can guide, can two broken souls find warmth again, or are they destined to remain frozen in the past?
