The whole world is burning around me, and the only man who can put out the fire has me friend-zoned.
Tex
Twink. Flirt. Pushover. Shallow.
That’s what they see—a pretty face, a carefree smile.
Behind the crop tops and glitter lies a battered soul.
And there’s only one man whose touch can heal me.
But first, he has to heal himself.
Mandy
Pain is my constant companion—etched into my skin, buried in my heart, haunting my every breath. I survived the fire, but the scars run deeper than flesh.
Yet nothing hurts more than loving a man who only thinks of me as a friend.
Tex swears he doesn’t see my scars, but if that’s true… Why won’t he let me love him?
