Loving The Cursed One

Alessandra Reyes learned to live in silence after the man who ruined her childhood went to prison.
But when he's released, her world begins to crumble again
the fear, the shaking, the nightmares she thought she buried.

She hides behind quiet smiles.
Pretends she's fine.
Pretends she isn't breaking.

Until Jaeroh Hedalgo
the campus heartthrob who's always bathed in light
notices the darkness in her eyes.

He sees the trembling hands.
He hears the lies she tells.
He stands between her and every shadow that tries to swallow her.

But loving her comes with enemies
the cruel whispers,
the jealous stares,
and Yvette Garcia, the girl who would burn the world just to keep Jaeroh's attention.

As her past returns to destroy her,
and her present turns into a battlefield-

Jaeroh becomes the one person who refuses to let her face her monsters alone.
