Wingless: Every Scar Holds A Story

Ximara has always been judged—by her parents, by society, and most of all, by herself. With curves that invite whispers and a spirit slowly eroded by those who claim to love her, she decides to escape. Fleeing an arranged marriage and a lifetime of scorn, she finds refuge in New York City with her grandfather, Alister—the one person who sees her worth. But even as she rebuilds her life, shadows from her past refuse to let her go. When a chance encounter with Arthur Vance, a charismatic celebrity racer, ends in public betrayal, Ximara’s fragile confidence shatters. Desperate to escape the pain, she plunges into a dangerous cycle of self-doubt, unaware that she is being watched. Her mysterious neighbor, a man known only as Z, seems to appear at the darkest moments—as if he knows her secrets, as if he’s always known. Z is not who he seems. He’s been watching Ximara for longer than she could imagine, bound by an obsession he can neither control nor understand. In a world determined to break them, can two wounded souls teach each other to fly—or will their secrets destroy them both?
