She taught with strength. She loved with silence. The girl in her class hid in shadows, waiting to bloom.
Ayana, a strong and compassionate teacher, never imagined falling for one of her students—especially not Sky, a quiet university girl with haunted eyes and a soul heavy with secrets. At twenty-two, Sky is navigating a world that sees only her past, not the woman she is becoming.
Born into silence, orphaned by pain, and struggling with depression, Sky has mastered the art of hiding. But when Ayana begins to see her—not just the surface, but her heart—a delicate, dangerous love begins to unfurl between them.
As their bond deepens, so do the risks. Love was never meant to be easy, especially when it challenges everything they’ve both been taught to fear.
When Shadows Bloom is a slow-burning, emotionally rich romance about identity, healing, and the quiet power of choosing love against all odds.
