When the truth surfaces, will love be enough to survive the wreckage?
Summary
Everyone warned Sofie Vera: Stay away from Malachi Rowen. He’s the kind of trouble that leaves marks you can’t see—but never forget. She was sunlight in overalls, all soft edges and laughter like music. He was smoke and shadow, all sharp lines and unspoken storms. At Bramden University, their worlds collided—hers painted in color, his sketched in secrets. She ran from a past soaked in pity. He hid a truth dark enough to bury him. But some gravity pulled them together—a silent, stubborn ache neither of them could ignore. In a campus of strangers and second chances, Sofie finds something like belonging. In her, Malachi sees the light he thought he’d lost. But secrets don’t stay hidden. And when the truth comes out, it might cost them everything. A story of softness and scars, of falling for someone you shouldn’t—and daring to hope they might catch you anyway. Perfect for fans of angsty slow burns, secret pasts, and love that feels like both salvation and ruin.
