Reverent Hearts

I was supposed to live quietly. Study hard, stay invisible, make my mother proud. No friends. No distractions. No boys. But then he happened — Adrian Madden. The university’s golden boy, the Prime Minister’s son, with eyes like winter storms and a smile that promised trouble. He saved me once — from humiliation, from the cruelty of others — and ruined me all the same. His charm was a weapon. His attention, a wildfire. And before I knew it, I was burning. We fell — recklessly, hopelessly, secretly. But love in his world was dangerous. When his family was framed, their mansion set ablaze, I lost him to the fire… or so I thought. Seven years later, I walk into Madden Corporation, desperate for a job — only to find him alive. Colder. Sharper. Untouchable. The boy I loved is now a man with power in his hands and vengeance in his veins. He doesn’t know about the twins. He doesn’t know I’ve kept his last name buried in my heart like a secret grave. And I don’t know if he’s here to love me again — or destroy what’s left of me.
