Climbing Into the Flame

Sonia Weston, daughter of a fallen noble house, is trapped by a betrothal to Aeron Fleming, a reckless heir she despises. To escape and reclaim agency, she targets his uncle, Skyler Fleming—the real power behind the family—and plans to play the seducer. She believes she controls the scheme. She's wrong. Skyler recognizes her from their first meeting—the woman he has searched for across years. Every 'chance' encounter and charged look is his quiet design. He does not ensnare her; he carefully builds a path back to safety and belonging. Sonia must decide whether to cling to her plan or follow the road he lays toward a different future.
