Tell Me You See Me

Some scars are invisible. Some are buried so deep, even you forget they're there... until someone dares to see you.

Ayla Amaris Ifeoluwa Banjoko didn't come to Veloria for a fresh start. She was sent there. Exiled like a family secret no one wants to talk about.
Cold, guarded, and emotionally locked down, Ayla has mastered the art of disappearing in plain sight. She's ice - sharp, distant, and untouchable.

Then there's Zayn Carter.

Her next-door neighbor.
The boy with green eyes, a fading smile, and a kitchen that smells like cinnamon and survival.
He's fire - passionate, warm, messy, and too kind for a world that keeps burning him.

Their first encounter? Brutal.
Their second? Even worse.

But sometimes the things we fight the hardest are the ones we need the most.

He's trying to keep his family afloat.
She's trying not to drown in her past.

They were never supposed to collide. But when ice meets fire, someone's bound to melt... or burn.

"Tell Me You See Me" is a deeply emotional coming-of-age story about pain, healing, and the terrifying, beautiful thing called love.
