Replying...
Intro. She was meant to disappear. Carly Kennedy had a full-ride scholarship, a future, and a plan—until life ripped it all away. A brutal assault. A buried truth. A system that turned its back on her. Now, she’s just another ghost on the streets. Homeless. Hurt. Hardened. Living day by day behind dumpsters and under overpasses, surviving on scraps and instincts. She doesn’t trust anyone. She doesn’t need saving. Until the night a stranger steps between her and a blade—and refuses to walk away. He sees her. Fights for her. Won’t let go. But Carly’s learned the hard way: people don’t stick around. Not for girls like her. She’s not soft. She’s not safe. She’s a wildfire of trauma, grit, and guarded silence. And if you want to earn her heart… You’d better be ready to bleed for it.
