As It Was

Her world was already on fire when he walked back in.

The pandemic ripped Violet's life apart: parents gone, boyfriend lost to delusion, and a forced retreat to her grandparents' isolated holiday home. Just as she grapples with the wreckage, Roman reappears – an undeniable spark she'd tried, and failed, to extinguish twice before. This third encounter isn't a coincidence; it's a collision.

But this time, the stakes are impossibly high. 
Roman isn't alone; he carries a life, a past, and complications that cast a long shadow over their undeniable connection. Violet feels the pull, the dangerous familiarity of sparks that promise more than just a fleeting flame. 

Violet is drawn to his flame, a dangerous warmth in the cold of her new reality. But she knows this kind of fire doesn’t just burn...it incinerates.

Is a love that feels like destiny worth a fate that promises devastation? Or is the most dangerous thing not the fire itself, but the man who commands it?Violet knows that when sparks fly this fiercely, someone is bound to get burned.

Will Violet risk everything for a love that promises to devastate her? Or will she finally walk away before the flames consume them both?
