Under Your Scars

She doesn’t want to be seen.



After years of silence, scars, and secrets, she’s learned how to disappear in plain sight. Moving to Russia as an STA student was supposed to be her fresh start—a cold city, a quiet life, no attachments. She keeps her distance, her walls high, and her past buried deep.



But then he sees her.



Dark-eyed. Unapologetic. Uninterested in boundaries.

He watches too closely.He sees something lurking beneath the surface.

And touches something she’s fought to numb for years.



She says she hates him.

He says he doesn't care.



Because he’s not the hero.

He’s the obsession that crosses every line.

And he won’t stop until she’s his—mind, body, soul.



Even if it destroys them both.
