Luminescence

THE MOTH & THE BLADE

Amara has learned to live quietly. To keep her head down. To ignore the tiny, insistent voice inside her that craves something more than safety-something dangerous.

Then he arrives.

A stranger at her favorite coffee shop. Eyes like winter. A presence that makes her skin prickle with anticipation and dread in equal measure. She doesn't know his name. She doesn't know what he does. She only knows that he's watching her with an intensity that should terrify her.

It does.

But terror isn't all she feels.

Corbin Blake is a man who takes what he wants. A man for whom rules are suggestions and mercy is a weakness. He's spent years perfecting the art of control-of his empire, his organization, his ruthless reputation. He's never wanted anything he couldn't eventually destroy.

Until Amara.

She is his undoing. His obsession. The moth drawn inexorably to his flame. And he is her blade-dangerous, sharp, and cutting through the numbness of her existence with a precision that leaves her breathless.

But in a world where love is a liability and attachment is a death sentence, their connection doesn't just threaten them-it threatens everyone around them. And there are those willing to burn them both to the ground.
Sometimes the most dangerous love is the kind you can't walk away from, even when you know it will consume you.

Some fires are meant to burn.
