Love Me Not

Love Me Not

by Vivienne Wren

Sidra doesn’t move to Australia expecting her world to spin off its axis—but one reckless, breath-stealing moment with a maddeningly gorgeous local sets her on fire. Isaac is temptation in human form: brooding, beautiful, and determined to push her away, even as sparks fly between them. His touch hums with danger, his gaze smolders with want, yet shadows cling to him like smoke. Sidra knows there’s more to him than the walls he builds—and when she uncovers the secret he’s hiding, it collides with her own grief in ways she never saw coming. Desire this raw can heal or destroy. And when love is built on scars, it might burn hotter than either of them can survive.
