Desire Over Fear: 1

Debbie is brilliant, disciplined, admired for doing exactly what's expected-performing perfectly, behaving properly, and keeping her desires carefully contained. Yet beneath the polished surface, a different pull stirs: forces that demand instinct over obedience, hunger over control. Magic calls for focus; romance calls for vulnerability. And when desire creeps in-hot, insistent, and impossible to ignore-resisting it feels like betraying herself.Finally, Debbie lets go. She sheds old rules and embraces the freedom to be who she's always longed to be-feeling everything, from the bite of winter air to the warmth of a lover's touch, from walking barefoot through deserted streets to the quiet hush of the forest. In surrendering to herself, she discovers a deeper kind of magic: the power to follow instinct, to embrace desire, and to live with reckless, fearless freedom.
