Megan Brown thought her life couldn't get any darker after losing her father, Jack Brown, to the infamous villain known as Nightmare. But when a deadly bank explosion leaves her hospitalized and shaken, Megan's world is turned upside down once again.

Unbeknownst to her closest ally, Crossfire, Megan is drawn into a dangerous game when Nightmare-whose real name is Richard O'Connor-contacts her with shocking revelations about her father's dark past and his own tragic upbringing. The lines between good and evil blur as secrets unfold, trust is tested, and emotions ignite in unexpected ways.

Caught between her role as the resilient Phoenix and her growing connection to a man responsible for so much pain, Megan must decide where her heart truly lies-and whether redemption is possible for anyone.

All characters, including Phoenix, Nightmare, Crossfire, and others, are original creations of mine. Please respect my work and refrain from copying.
