The story
Blurb
I LED HER STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRE. NOW, I’M THE ONE WILLING TO BURN WITH HER.
I came into her life to close a file, but I ended up starting a war.
She reached for me as her salvation, never realizing I was the one pulling her under.
Sophia Moreau is a masterpiece of ruin I helped create.
She was the one woman I was supposed to stay away from. Now, she is my everything.
I showed her the monster inside me, and somehow, she still looked at me like a man worth saving.
I’ll bleed for her. I’ll kill for her. I’ll burn every rule I ever swore to uphold just to see her breathe.
I am giving up my life to prove my devotion.
But what if my everything is still not enough?
TROPES:
“I’ll burn the world to keep you safe.”
