She hides in plain sight. He hides behind rage. Both have something to prove. Caroline Hawkins wears dull colors and quiet manners like armor. In a world that refuses her freedom, she carves it for others—working in silence, helping the forgotten, never asking to be noticed. She isn't bold for the world to see. But in private, she's fearless. Intentional. Unapologetically true. Pierce Byrne doesn't want redemption. He wants justice. Haunted by a wrong he couldn't stop, he's made it his mission to hold the untouchable accountable. Known only as the Black Baron, he stalks the powerful, striking where the law will not. But beneath the menace is a man who's tired of fury. Tired of loneliness. Tired of being a shadow. Two masked hearts. One quiet revolution. Their causes align before their hearts do. And yet, beneath layers of secrecy and silent resolve, Caroline and Pierce begin to see each other clearly. For who they are. For what they believe. For the people they still hope to become.She's never been free. But she's never stopped fighting. And this time, someone fights beside her.🕯️ If you've ever held tight to your convictions when no one else understood—and longed to be seen not for your mask, but for your strength underneath… this story was written with you in mind.
