“Sometimes, survival means setting fire to the only thing you love.”
When you’re young, you spend your days searching for yourself. You test your limits, make mistakes, and try on a thousand faces just to see which one is truly yours.
Sometimes, real love means stopping someone you care about from losing themselves for you, even if it breaks everything.
This is a story about that border, the space between desire and duty, loyalty and longing, who you are and who others want you to be. It is about what happens when you are ready to risk everything for what you truly want.
Liam Morel He is the heir with too many scars and not enough mercy for himself. He promised to protect his best friend’s girlfriend, but the darkness inside him refuses to stay chained. Control is not just a game to Liam. It is his way of surviving. He was raised to lead and trained to control. He learned to never show weakness.
Élise Adler She is the good girl with a rebellious heart. She is willing to follow Liam into his darkness, even if it means losing herself along the way.
Theo Marchetti He is the gentle answer to chaos. He is steady, attentive, and honest, even when he says nothing at all. Theo hopes Élise will realize that choosing safety does not mean giving up on herself, and that sometimes, real love asks only for the truth.
Sophie Dubois She has always loved Liam from the shadows, dreaming of the day he will finally see her. Sophie believes passion can fix anything, but when loving someone means losing yourself, how far are you willing to go for the chance to be chosen?
This book was never supposed to start with such a young Liam.
I pictured an older man, already master of his demons, someone who could love without burning everything around him. But the story took over. Liam appeared at twenty-two, raw, restless, tormented by longing, haunted by loss, and by a promise made to a friend who was gone.
If you want to know who Liam Morel really is, why he suffers, why he struggles, why he is always walking that line between desire and duty, here is the truth.
This is not a story of fantasies, whips, or empty power games. Liam’s dominance is not just a mask. It is a question of psychology, loyalty, scars, and a Swiss legacy colder than snow.
The Sceau Blanc is not an American-style secret society. It is a centuries-old institution, created by seventeen founding families who control everything through ritual, reputation, and secrets. Surviving the initiation means learning to destroy what matters most and proving that you can control everything, yourself and others, no matter the cost.
Liam and Élise are not just lovers. They are heirs, leaders. They cannot run away simply because the pain is too much. They carry the Clave, the legacy, and the responsibility of their family name and bloodline. Élise runs the health sector. Liam controls the finances. Noah, before the end, was the embodiment of public power. Their bond is not soft, but it is real.
Liam will change, yes. In my other novels, you will discover him older, wiser, maybe even gentle. But here, in Burn With Me, you witness the trial by fire, the forging of a man, not a fantasy.
Important Note from the Author
After many glowing reviews and others that were more puzzled, I am writing this here :
This is not a BDSM manual. It’s not an American-style dark romance. There’s no mafia, no over-the-top violence, and definitely no scenes added just to shock you.
What you’re holding is the story of Liam Morel—a young man split between who he really is and what the world demands he become. He’s not perfect. He’s dominant, sometimes harsh, always complicated, often so fucking lost he can barely see straight. The Sceau Blanc, that secret Swiss society everyone whispers about, is all psychological power, old money, and choices that hurt. It’s never about brute force.
Inside, you’ll find explicit scenes, power plays, emotional manipulation, grief, and trauma. If you’re looking for a cozy romance or a D/s how-to, this is your exit. No hard feelings.
Read with caution, or better yet, read with your heart wide open, ready to get bruised by something real.
Why Readers Are Obsessed
So dark, so hot, so addictive. I read it in one night and then read it again.”
“The chemistry is off the charts. I wanted to slap Liam and kiss him at the same time.”
“If you love forbidden love, broken heroes, and heroines who refuse to be tamed, this book will ruin you.”
“Liam Morel is not an anti-hero meant to be idolized, nor is he a heartless monster. He is searching for his own limits and making mistakes. Sometimes he loses himself between a promise made to his best friend and his own needs. Like so many adults still becoming who they are, he is learning what it means to love, to possess, to protect, and to finally let go.”
