Blurb:
Zeenat never wanted perfection, just peace.
A home that didn't hurt. A love that didn't fade. A world that didn't judge her for wanting more.
Her first day of college was supposed to be her fresh start, new people, new dreams, new air to breathe.
But life had other plans.
Between laughter, secrets, and heartbreak, Zeenat tries to find herself again. Lisami, her fearless childhood friend, pulls her into the wild rhythm of campus life, nights that stretch too long, love that burns too fast, and pain that hides behind smiles.
And then there's Trevor.
Tall, brown-skinned, with black rolled hair that always looks effortlessly perfect.
Eyes dark and deep, like they're holding back thunder.
Lips soft, calm, and dangerous, the kind you can't stop staring at.
There's a faint scar across his stomach, a trail of tattoos inked over his back, wrapping around his skin like untold stories, bold lines, broken promises, and pain turned into art.
He smells like warmth and smoke, moves like he owns every space he walks into.
But beneath all that charm lies a past that haunts him, he was molested at the age of four, broken before he even learned what love was. Trevor doesn't believe in forever. He doesn't trust love. Until he meets Zeenat.
Their love becomes a pull they can't resist, passionate, chaotic, and painfully real.
As Zeenat struggles to find her voice and hold on to her heart, she must choose between who the world expects her to be and who she truly is.
Because after all maybe pain, love, and change were always meant to be.
