He loved her the moment he saw her. But love means nothing if she won’t let him in.

Lada has spent years trapped in the wreckage of her past, drowning in pain she can’t escape. She knows she’s broken, unworthy of the kind of devotion a man like Eriks offers. So, when given a choice, she does the only thing she knows how to do—she walks away.

Eriks knew Lada was his from the moment their eyes met. It didn’t matter where she came from, what she’d endured, or how deeply her scars ran. None of it could change the fact that she belonged with him. But love is not enough to heal a woman who refuses to be saved.

When an ultimatum forces Lada’s hand, she leaves Eriks behind, believing it’s the only way to protect him from the darkness inside her. She hopes it’s the right decision—for him, if not for herself.

But love and pain are two sides of the same coin, and walking away doesn’t always mean letting go. In a world where fate is cruel and love is a weapon, they must decide—fight for each other or let their pasts tear them apart for good.
