Hidden flame

Seraphina wanted one thing, to make something of herself, to be more than the girl no one wanted. University was her time to be someone.
But when Seraphina locks her sites on Aurelian Voicu, a man everyone knows as Derel. A man to be avoided at all costs.
She can't seem to tear herself out of his orbit.
Intent on being alone, being avoided. Aurelian focuses heavy on his studies. Even if it's selfish, even if he was removed for not carrying on the family business. It was easy to be forgotten, to be cold. Until her.
All he wants is to push her, to see the fire within she tries so hard to swallow down. He wants nothing more then to peel back her layers and seraphina is losing the battle to keep him at arms length.
