Nyx
To survive, I had to become someone I despised. A liar. A connoisseur of beautifully crafted words, weaving fantasies so alluring, the truth was effortlessly forgotten.
My double life and Ahmaud, the man I’ve bound myself to, stand in the way of it being possible to be anything else. For Ilani and Avery, I deeply desire to be the light they see when they regard me. My secrets. My presence in their lives is an ember threatening to ignite us all.
Ilani
Midnight and I have always shared one heart. We believed our lives were complete until…Nyx.
She was the girlfriend of Midnight’s former partner and friend, Ahmaud. We foolishly convinced ourselves letting her go was the right thing to do. It remains one of my deepest regrets.
Now she’s back, and absence did make the heart grow fonder. Whatever lines have to be crossed, we won’t let her get away again.
Midnight
I left the street life behind to ensure the future Ilani and I were building. In doing so, we unfortunately left someone of importance believing she had found her happiness.
Years later, a random traffic stop warns me of a threat lurking in the shadows. Someone is trying to ruin the life I’ve fought for.
Then, the heavens place her back in our lives. Now we’re able to correct our previous mistakes. The past I thought I’d outrun, and Nyx’s present, stands in our way.
Will we survive the heat, or will the flames spiral into chaos we can’t contain?
