In the swirling dance of destiny, their paths collide with an intensity that promises both destruction and transformation. She, with her icy demeanor and stormy presence, has built walls of indifference and disdain, especially towards men.
Her past, a tapestry of betrayal and pain, has taught her to trust no one but herself.
Yet, here stands a man who seems untouched by the shadows that haunts her. His charm and wealth are merely superficial veneer, hiding a depth that only few has glimpsed. As he steps into the tempest of her world, he's not just a victim of her wrath, but also a potential catalyst for change.
The question remains: will he be consumed by her fury? Or will he find a way to calm the storm, revealing the warmth beneath her icy exterior? The journey promises to be as unpredictable as the weather, with stakes as high as their defenses are strong.
Just a sneak peak into the life of Nova Harley:
"Love, it sounds so surreal. The same feeling Racko claimed to have for Tina, just before he ended her life painfully. I still remember vividly, my last sight of her, crushed limbs and body; beyond recognition in a pool of blood. The only recognizable things being her clothes and the necklace i gifted her on her birthday. I wish I had just taken the action I should have, before everything happened but i didn't. He ended her, painfully.
But guess what? I did to him, the same thing. You can call me evil or wicked, but I don't feel a little bit of guilt for doing what I did. I don't wait for karma, it's a slow bitch.
A lot is uncovered and brought into light along the journey, even at the last minute, you'll be thrilled.
You'll see in this piece of work, how a person can have his or her life planned out and fate will just decide to have its play.
"I think it's best we stay cordial while we're here. You know, avoid any awkwardness," I say, trying to sound casual.
Jay leans against the doorframe, his eyes flickering with amusement as he watches me. "You want to be friends?"
"No. I mean, not friends. Just civil," I answer, a little too quickly.
"Okay. I can do civil," he says, his gaze never leaving mine like he is trying hard to read me.
I look away, suddenly too exposed beneath his gaze. Damnit!This is going to be harder than I thought.

It was a moment. One that could have turned into something more.Until she walked away.
Eight months later, Ira has to face him again. And this time, there's nowhere to run. Not for at least a week. After all, it's her best friend's wedding and he's invited too.
So, she does what she's always done best-pretend.
Pretend nothing happened. Pretend he didn't matter. Pretend her heart didn't skip a beat the second she saw him again.
But Jay?
He's not playing pretend.
With that maddening smile and the kind of charm that should come with a warning, he's determined to remind her of everything she's tried to forget- even the years she's spent years mastering the art of detachment.
He's the only one who's ever come close to reaching the version of her that she thought, she had buried long ago.
And that's what makes him dangerous. Because she shouldn't return to who she was.
She's ice.
And he?
He's the fire that never stopped burning.
The real question is:
Can she let his fire thaw the ice that's long been her shield?
