She changed her name to bury the past.
But some flames refuse to die.
Cinnamon Ashwin was never meant to stay. The sleepy seaside town was just a stop-quiet, forgettable, safe. Until a stranger with familiar eyes steps into the bookstore where she works... and looks at her like he knows her darkest hour.
Kian is magnetic, guarded, and clearly not here by chance. As tension simmers and memories resurface, Cinnamon is forced to choose: keep running, or finally face the fire she thought she escaped.
But when new threats emerge, and old truths ignite, love may not be enough to survive what's been waiting beneath the ashes.

Visha: A Deadly Poison
The past lingered in her eyes, a haunting reminder of the trauma she'd endured. Years had passed since that fateful night, but the scars remained. The memories of her mother's lifeless body, her boyfriend's desperate attempt to save her, and his ultimate sacrifice still burned within her. The injustice that followed, fueled by deceit and manipulation, had only added to her pain. The photograph, taken in the heat of her grief, had sealed her fate. A snapshot of her holding the knife, her boyfriend's lifeless body behind her, had been twisted to portray her as the killer. The truth, however, was far more sinister. The rain poured down like tears from the heavens, washing away the city's sins, but not the memories. She stood there, her eyes fixed on the spot where her world had crumbled. The laughter, the love, the life - all lost in an instant. The knife, still lodged in her memory, seemed to pierce her heart anew. Now, she's back, driven by a burning desire for revenge against those who wronged her. The system failed her once, but she won't let it happen again. This time, she's ready to take matters into her own hands.
