Bound to Burn

Centuries ago, a forbidden love defied the gods and paid the price. A bloodline was cursed to repeat the same consuming passion, lifetime after lifetime, each reunion ending the same way — in fire.

Sadie Monroe has dedicated her career to studying relics of desire and death. But when she uncovers an ancient bronze cuff with symbols that seem to pulse beneath her skin, she draws the attention of a man who should not exist. Nadir is irresistible in ways she can’t explain — intelligent, controlled, and marked by a quiet hunger that feels both familiar and dangerous.

He knows exactly what she’s awakened.

Every lifetime, Nadir is reborn carrying the memory of a love he can never keep and a death he can never escape. Sadie is the only woman he has ever loved, the only woman he has ever lost, and the only one capable of breaking the cycle. But this version of her is different — stronger, clearer, less willing to surrender to fate.

Their connection is immediate. Their desire is feral. And the curse they share begins to stir, feeding on their attraction, blurring memory with reality, past with present, pleasure with power.

As Sadie’s dormant identity resurfaces and Nadir’s restraint fractures, the ancient ritual that binds them returns — promising either liberation or ruin. To break the curse, they must face who they were, what they’ve done, and the fire that always finds them in the end.

Some loves heal.

Some loves haunt.

Some loves burn you alive.
