Mended Hearts. Fire and Ice, #8

Svetlana's world didn't just crack. It shattered. The future she thought she understood is gone, replaced by a truth she never wanted to face. And the one man who loves her most doesn't know why she's pulling away. He dreams of a life she's terrified she can't give him. So, she does what she's always done when the pain becomes too much. She runs. She tells herself she's protecting him. That leaving now will hurt less than staying and watching disappointment take root.
But distance doesn't quiet grief. And silence doesn't heal shame. Brandon feels her slipping through his fingers. The woman who fought so hard for their love is building walls he can't see past. He knows she's hurting. Knows she's hiding something that's breaking her from the inside outLove has carried them through darkness before. But this time, it may not be enough. Because healing requires truth.
And when the truth finally comes to light, they'll have to decide whether their love can survive not just the pain of the past, but the future they never expected. The breathtaking conclusion to a passionate, high-heat trilogy about devotion, heartbreak, and choosing love even when it costs everything.
