Her Touch, His Fire: She tamed his demons... until he awakened hers. (Scars of the Heart, #1)

"Her Touch, His Fire" is a deeply emotional, slow-burn love story between two souls carrying invisible wounds. Elizabeth, a renowned trauma therapist, escapes the city to start fresh in a quiet countryside. But she doesn‘t expect to meet James - a silent, haunted ex-soldier who lives next door and avoids the world. Their first meetings are cold... yet something lingers in the silence. A spark. A connection neither of them is ready for. When a stormy night leads to unexpected closeness, walls begin to crack. James reveals a tragic past he‘s never shared. Elizabeth listens but hides her own demons. Until one letter brings them back. Together, they face panic attacks, past trauma, and each other‘s darkness. From heated arguments to passionate kisses, from tearful nights to quiet mornings by the lake - they slowly learn that love is not about being whole. It‘s about healing together. In a final act of courage, James stands beside Elizabeth as she confronts the man who once broke her. And when they return, it‘s not just as lovers - but as partners building a home for others like them. A home born from pain. A love born from fire. A story that proves scars are not weaknesses - they are proof that we survived.
