"Tried by fire" - A story about how
some fires start slow and others are already burning before you realize you're standing in the heat.
When Sam first meets Dani, she's chaos in heels and late to the party, laughing like she's never been hurt, and carrying a secret behind every smile. Sam doesn't believe in fate, but something about Dani feels... inevitable.
Their lives couldn't be more different. Sam plays it safe, keeping her world small and manageable, while Dani lives like she's already on borrowed time. She is bold, magnetic, and a little dangerous. But when a series of unexpected reunions turn chance encounters into something deeper, neither of them can deny the pull.
As they navigate sleepless nights, road trips, and the quiet moments in between, Sam begins to unravel the mystery behind Dani's guarded heart. But the closer she gets, the more she realizes some truths aren't just hidden, they're protected. And some love stories aren't safe but, they're worth the risk.
In a world full of sharp edges, "Tried By Fire" is a story of slow burns, second chances, and what happens when two souls find each other in the dark.
