The Planner and The Flame

Rosaline Skylar Reeves does not believe in destined love. At least, not for herself. She crafts luxury weddings for a living, flawless and extravagant celebrations choreographed down to the last rose petal. But love itself is a risk she stopped entertaining a long time ago. Her heart is off limits. Her world is curated and controlled.

Until him.

Calvin Blaze Kenneth, the boy from her childhood, the one who made her feel safe before she learned how to build walls around herself. He walks back into her life just as she dreams about him for the first time in years. Coincidence, maybe. But the way he looks at her now, as if he can read every thought she tries to hide, feels anything but casual.

Rosaline tells herself nothing has changed.
But her pulse skips when he leans too close.
Her voice trembles when he says her name.
And when he confesses that he has loved her all along, her carefully guarded world begins to unravel.

She wants to stay composed. Professional. Distant. Untouchable.

But Calvin feels like fire, and she is so tired of being cold.
