Crimson Lines (h.s) (on hold)

Mila has always lived under the weight of her father's expectations-too harsh, too early, and always pushing her to become someone she's not. By sixteen, relentless training has stolen any sense of a normal life, leaving her cold, cautious, and fiercely determined. Her brother Jace and best friend Taylor are the only anchors keeping her grounded, but even their love can't protect her from the life her father has forced upon her.

On her eighteenth birthday, Mila is sent on her first mission, following Jace's lead into a dangerous world she's barely prepared for. But when she encounters Harry-a target as skilled and cunning as she is-everything she's been taught is challenged. Tension sparks into a dangerous game of cat and mouse, where trust is fragile, and survival may depend on choices neither of them expected.

This is a story of survival, loyalty, and the slow-burning fire between two people trained to fight-both each other and the world around them.
