Zarina didn't expect to find peace - not in this city, not after everything she'd been through. She came searching for a fresh start, a quiet space to heal and breathe again. What she found instead was Malachi - the man who became both her calm and her chaos.
Malachi has always been the dependable one - steady, loyal, and guarded. He wasn't looking for love, only balance. But the moment Zarina walked into his world, laughing at his dry humor and challenging his quiet rules, everything shifted. She was light in places he'd long kept dark, warmth where he thought he'd grown cold.
As Zarina rebuilds her life piece by piece, Malachi finds himself drawn deeper into her orbit - helping her move in, picking out furniture, spending long nights at the beach under silver skies. What starts as friendship begins to burn with an intensity neither of them can ignore.
But love, for both of them, comes tangled with fear - of being hurt again, of losing control, of being truly seen. And as their connection deepens, they must learn to navigate the line between healing and falling, between comfort and surrender.
A story about two souls who find home in each other - where laughter turns to love, trust becomes courage, and every broken piece fits exactly where it's meant to be.
