Summary
Neither of them intends to fall for the other. It’s foolish, downright hazardous – and absolutely unavoidable. In the beginning, their meetings are all cutting words, fiery dances, and lies upon lies. But as the masks between them start to fall, the loneliness they share grows into something more.
He refuses to acknowledge the danger their relationship puts them in until it’s too late. Until the flames come for him.

Love, after all, cannot be controlled. It drives the heart to make impossible choices. To trespass into the enemy’s most sacred place. To put life and soul on the line in a last, desperate attempt at redemption.
