Ayla Weathers has spent years running from the ghosts that live in her silence.
Losing her parents fractured something in her that love never managed to fix. So, she built walls instead, and behind those walls were lesson plans, long hours at her youth center, and a smile that rarely reached her eyes. Grief taught her control. Survival taught her distance.
Then came Kross Andrews, danger wrapped in discipline, with a past as cold as her pain. To everyone else, he's the quiet power in tailored suits, the man who can make things happen with a single call. But to Ayla, he's chaos. The kind that makes her pulse race and her carefully built peace start to crumble.
When their worlds collide, love becomes less about comfort and more about confrontation, forcing them both to face what they've buried. Because healing isn't always soft, and sometimes the heart has to break open before it can breathe again.
"Kross My Heart" is a story of grief, redemption, and the kind of love that doesn't save you-it sees you.
