Burn With Me

He doesn’t just want her attention. He wants her future. And this time, he’s not stepping aside. Rafael Griffin is the green-eyed billionaire who won’t stop showing up. At the gym. At her door. In every longing Beatriz Cruz tries to keep buried. She calls it friendship. He keeps proving otherwise. Giving in to him would mean facing the fear she’s never named: that she isn’t strong enough to meet his fire, or survive what choosing him would cost. Because Rafael doesn’t offer safety. He offers truth. Intensity. A pull she can’t reason her way out of. When the man she can’t keep at a distance finally stops letting her pretend they’re just friends, the careful balance she’s built between desire and restraint finally breaks. She’s never been kissed like this before. And once she lets him close, nothing stays untouched. Book 3 of the Crown or Fire series. Can be read from here, but best enjoyed in order after Book 1 Choose Me and Book 2 Stay With Me. Continues in Book 4, Bind Me, due for release in May 2026.
