Through the smoke and mirrors
Slim’s never been ready—not for commitment, not for growth, and definitely not for love. But he’s never stopped thinking about Destini, the one he let slip away. Now she’s back, ready to settle down. But is he the man she needs or just a memory she hasn’t let go of?
Destini’s not looking for fairy tales anymore. She’s looking for something real. And as a new suitor steps in, Slim finds himself forced to reckon with his own insecurities, regrets, and the life he’s been running from.
When the past resurfaces with dangerous consequences, Slim must decide: is he willing to change, or is he still hiding behind the man he pretends to be?
