Two rivals, haunted by their pasts, clash burning hatred-yet forbidden desire pulls them into an irresistible, dangerous bond They had been enemies for as long as either of them could remember-two souls scarred by their pasts, each wearing their pain like armor. He was cold, distant, a man who had learned early on never to trust anyone, while she masked her vulnerability with sharp words and an iron will. Childhood trauma had shaped them both, molding their defenses so that no one could ever get too close. But when circumstance forced them into each other's lives, sparks flew, igniting a heat that neither could deny. The line between hate and desire blurred with each passing moment, and the connection they fought so hard to resist began to pull them together. In their shared brokenness, they found something neither expected-an unspoken understanding, a flicker of something deeper. What began as a battle of wills was slowly becoming something far more dangerous: a bond that neither could control, but both craved.
