Shattered Beings

Genre: Slow-burn Romance, Angst, Drama

Synopsis: Amaira has spent her life perfecting the art of pretending. A star student, adored by teachers, loved by her peers-on the outside, she shines. But inside, she carries the weight of a past she never speaks of, a loneliness that lingers even in a crowded room. With only her nine-year-old sister to call family, Amaira has learned to survive on her own, hiding her pain behind bright smiles and unwavering strength.

Then there's Ryan. Cold. Detached. A boy who doesn't let anyone in. After his girlfriend's betrayal, he's convinced himself that emotions are a weakness, and love is nothing but a lie. He wants nothing to do with Amaira, yet he can't seem to ignore the way she slips past his defenses-challenging him, seeing through him.

Forced to work together for a year at a kindergarten as a school activity for senior year, Amaira and Ryan clash like fire and ice. She hates his indifference, he hates how easily she gets under his skin. But as they push and pull, something shifts. Ryan starts to see the cracks in Amaira's perfect facade, just as she begins to realize that beneath his cold exterior, he's more broken than he lets on.

Their connection is inevitable. Addictive. Dangerous.

But when feelings grow and past wounds resurface, will they heal each other-or destroy everything in the process.
