He curated a perfect life for her. It was a lie. But the most dangerous secret isn't the one he's keeping-it's the one she's about to create.
Naomi Achebe is a scientist. She deals in data, certainty, and observable facts. So when she discovers a stranger's name on her boyfriend's streaming profile, she doesn't scream. She investigates.
Naomi Achebe is a scientist. She deals in data, certainty, and observable facts. So when she discovers a stranger's name on her boyfriend's streaming profile, she doesn't scream. She investigates.
Alexander Karides is brilliant, wealthy, and devoted. He's also a liar. What begins as a suspicion spirals into the discovery of an architecture of infidelity so precise it rewrites Naomi's entire history. He hasn't just betrayed her; he has been living a double life, optimizing his affection between two women like a split-test experiment.
She should leave. Instead, she stays.
Driven by a desperate need to prove her own judgment wasn't flawed, Naomi begins a surveillance of her own life, archiving the betrayal while pretending to plan a wedding. But as she meticulously catalogs Alexander's lies, she finds herself drawn into a different kind of orbit.
Enter Declan Amari. A fellow researcher with a broken window and a messy past, Declan offers the one thing Alexander never could: reality. He doesn't perform. He doesn't curate. He just sees her.
Caught between the man who promises her the world and the man who offers her the truth, Naomi makes a choice that will burn everything to the ground.
A visceral, intellectually charged, and devastatingly raw novel about gaslighting, narcissism, and the high cost of loyalty. Still Burning explores not just the trauma of being cheated on, but the darker, quieter tragedy of betraying yourself to keep the peace.
