Pippa Fitz-Amobi was once full of trust and hope — until Max Hastings shattered that with his cruelty. What he did left scars no one can see, scars that make the smallest things — like a belt or a sudden touch — feel like danger. She’s fiercely intelligent and determined, still chasing justice, but beneath that sharp mind is someone fighting to reclaim her sense of safety and peace. Max may have tried to break her, but she’s not done fighting yet.
