Where Winter Meets Fire (Alonzo Series Book #1)

They were never supposed to be anything but cousins.

Ahlaira Francesca Alonzo has spent her whole life bickering with Azhaire Nikolas Alonzo - the Alonzo family's golden boy, basketball captain, and certified playboy. From the slap that made her locally infamous to the fall that left her with a scar she still carries, their history reads less like family and more like a slow-burning feud neither of them ever chose.

Until a forced college project throws them together for a semester, and every wall Ahlaira spent years building starts, quietly, to crack.
What follows is messier than either of them bargained for - stolen glances at family dinners, a truce neither of them can name, jealousy neither of them can justify, and a secret that grows heavier every single time he calls her baby where no one else can hear. Because Azhaire and Ahlaira aren't just cousins anymore. They're something the entire Alonzo family - old money, old rules, Davao's most watched name - was never built to survive.

He says he'll burn it all down for her. She's not sure she's brave enough to let him.

Where Winter Meets Fire is Book 1 of the Alonzo series - twelve cousins, eleven love stories, one family that's about to find out just how far love is willing to break the rules.

Contains: slow-burn forbidden romance, profanity, family drama, and a twist that changes everything.
