Burning Again
A Second Chance City Romance by Tonio Chase
Zara Monroe thought she'd left the past behind when she walked away from Julian Blackwood—the charismatic but complicated man who once set her heart ablaze. Now a rising fashion designer in New York City, she's built a new life on ambition and fierce independence. But when fate throws them back into each other's orbit at a high-stakes charity gala, old flames reignite with dangerous heat.
Julian, now a powerful investor with secrets of his own, never forgot the woman who slipped through his fingers. But the man he is today is more guarded, more strategic—and more determined than ever to win Zara back.
As the two collide in boardrooms, backstages, and stolen nights, passion and pride battle for dominance. Trust is fragile, and the past has a long shadow—but the pull between them is magnetic. With careers, reputations, and hearts on the line, Zara and Julian must decide: is love worth risking everything for a second time?
Because some fires never die.
They just wait to burn again.
