Natasha has spent most of her life trying not to be seen hiding behind loose sweaters, tangled hair, and the weight of scars left by years of cruel taunts. After losing her parents, solitude becomes her only shield. But everything changes one night when fire traps her in her apartment. She’s pulled from the flames by Marcus and Max the very twins who once made her high school years unbearable.

Marcus and Max never forgot Natasha. What she never realized was that their teasing masked feelings they didn’t know how to handle. Now grown men, marked by guilt and the weight of past mistakes, they refuse to walk away again. Offering her shelter after the fire, they discover the harder challenge isn’t saving her body it’s earning her trust.

Natasha feels torn. Drawn to both brothers yet haunted by memories, she struggles with the quiet fear that she’ll never be enough. But in the closeness of late nights and the raw honesty of shared regret, desire flickers into something deeper.

When old wounds clash with new longing, will Natasha find the courage to choose love or will fear silence her heart once more?
