Wildflower - (Episode 3of 4) - "Controlled Burn"

from Romance Weekly - Short Stories of Love, Erotic and Paranormal Thrillers · host Caloroga Shark Media | Award-winning writers

The Whitmore gala should have been Elise's triumph. For two perfect hours, it is—until her mother appears, and thirty years of suppressed rage finally ignites. The estate transforms into wilderness. Trees erupt through marble. Flowers cover everything. Three hundred guests flee in terror, and Elise's career burns to ash along with her careful reputation.Roman tells her about the fire that killed him—and the years he spent believing he was only capable of destruction. He asks her to see the devastation as a controlled burn, clearing space for new growth. But Elise can't hear him. Not yet. A week later, she's shut everything down. The magic, the feelings, the wildness. Her apartment is dead, and so is she. She got exactly what she wanted. She's never been more miserable.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!
