Another Tragic Romance by Lester
After a fire destroys her family, she is thrust into a life she never wanted - married to a man she barely knows, in a world where power rules over love.
He is cold. Ruthless. Dangerous. And yet, she finds herself drawn to him.
But some houses hide more than smoke.
Some men hide more than shadows.
When secrets begin to surface, she must decide:
Stay and risk everything... or run and leave the life she's slowly begun to feel for him behind.
In a story of trust, betrayal, and survival, one question remains:
How do you choose love when it might be the thing that destroys you?
