The Truth We Avoided

Some truths don't disappear because they are false. They fade because we're afraid of what they'll cost us. Lyra has spent her life choosing silence over risk, safety over desire. But when a mysterious mark awakens within her—burning with a fire that feels ancient, alive, and deeply personal—she is forced to confront the one thing she has avoided the longest: the truth about herself. Arjun was never meant to return. Their connection belongs to a past unfinished, a love interrupted by fear, timing, and choices left unmade. Yet when fate draws them together again, the fire between them ignites—demanding honesty, sacrifice, and a decision neither of them can escape. As the bond deepens, Lyra discovers that the fire is not a curse, but a mirror. It reveals what she hides, what she denies, and what she must finally choose. Love, once avoided, now asks to be claimed fully—or lost forever. The Truth We Avoided is an emotionally rich romance about destiny, second chances, and the quiet courage it takes to stop running from yourself. Perfect for readers who love slow-burn tension, soul-deep connections, and stories where love is not guaranteed—but earned through truth.
