Lili Dorcy has sworn never to fall again.
Not after betrayal shattered her youth, not after her father's desperate act tore her family apart. She has rebuilt her life on discipline, solitude, and the fragile balance of caring for others while refusing to let anyone care for her.
But the day she meets Xavier Sodonis-brilliant, troubled, magnetic-something cracks. A dream has warned her. A presence pulls her. A force older than fear calls her forward.
He feels it too.
Yet Xavier is hiding a dangerous secret, one that drags him into a world of surveillance, paranoia, and moral ambiguity. Between them, desire ignites-fierce, immediate, impossible to control.
When the past resurfaces and the truth threatens to destroy them both, Lili and Xavier must confront the question they've spent their lives avoiding:
Can two wounded souls choose love without losing themselves?
A Fragile Existence is a sweeping, intimate novel about trauma, destiny, and the terrifying courage it takes to open one's heart.
It is a literary fresco, a novel of destiny, identity, and survival, with a strong psychological backbone and a cinematic sense of scene.
It is work that is both intimate and epic, rooted in personal trauma and collective history.
