Burn Me Beautiful

Doyin has always tried to live the life she was taught to love—church on Sundays, prayers whispered in secret, a careful obedience her parents could trust. But her world is complicated. Kian, magnetic and reckless, pulls her into choices she knows she shouldn’t make, while Simon, steady and patient, watches from the edges, heart tangled in hers. Secrets spill, trust is broken, and moments meant to stay hidden find their way into the wrong hands. With friends watching, a family pressuring, and love twisting every decision, Doyin must decide who she is, who she wants, and how much she’s willing to risk for both faith and desire. Told in raw, lyrical poems, Burn Me Beautiful is a story of temptation, heartbreak, and the courage it takes to reclaim yourself when the world feels determined to define you.
