Nyssa never knew flames could burn deeper than skin-straight into the soul.
One single event, two strangers, and a reckless decision changed her life forever.
What was supposed to end that day refused to stay behind.
The fire may be gone, but the smoke still lingers-in her home, in her mind, and in the shadows of the boy who won't leave her alone.
Because some scars don't fade with time.
They only find new ways to bleed.
An enemies-to-lovers novel. Hope you enjoy it.
