The Wrong Girl Burns Bright
Cleo Carrington used to be Northvale's brightest spark—wild, fearless, impossible to pin down.
And then she married Damian Joubert.
The most controlled, rigid heir in their world.
Damian ran like a machine. Perfect standards. Zero slack. And he expected the same from his wife.
Cleo loved noise—clubs, music, bodies moving. He had every venue in the city blacklist her.
She loved freedom—the blazing Afriyan sun, the northern lights in Icelorn. She raced cars. She jumped out of planes.
He took her passport. Shut it all down.
