Defy Fate (Fated Duet 1)

Peace and Pain.
Solace and suffering.
Opposites attract like magnets. They went hand in hand; just like we did.

The pain of the past encompassed my soul. It was on a path to destroy me—that was if I didn’t do it myself first.

There was a time when he was the only beam of light within the darkness.
