Scorched Vows

Destiny James thought her story ended the day she signed the divorce papers.

A speech therapist, a mother, and a survivor of a marriage that left more scars than memories, she’s determined to start over — with no time for romance and no energy for games.

Enter Elijah Ward — an art professor with ink-stained fingers, quiet eyes, and a past he’s still healing from. He sees the beauty in broken things. And Destiny? She’s a masterpiece in progress.

Their connection is soft at first. Subtle.

Late-night conversations.

Sidewalk sketches.

Laughter in places Destiny thought were dead.

But love after loss isn’t simple.

And healing isn’t always linear.

As Destiny rebuilds her life with her daughter at the center, Elijah becomes the one person who sees her fully — not just the pain she carries, but the woman she’s becoming.
