Adrian Liberty has lived a turbulent life.
He's left speechless when he meets Lex Donnelly in a grungy bar in a small town. She's not his type, but he can't deny the attraction. When she blows him off, she becomes an obsession. Five years later, thousands of miles away, he runs into her again. This time, he won't let her walk away so easily.
Lex has spent her adult life running away from her traumatic past. She thought she had left it and Adrian Liberty behind when she moved across the country to the major metropolitan city of Torhaven. She has big goals that don't involve a man's distraction.
You know that old saying, "Love heals all wounds"? Well, whoever said it clearly never met Lex Donnelly or Adian Liberty.
Lex learned at a young age not to believe in second chances. Adrian, on the other hand, learned how critical they can be.
The problem is that he has boundary issues, and she's stubborn as hell.
What do you get when a strong-willed, fiercely independent woman crashes into a controlling, possessive, and obsessive man?
All-consuming, all-devouring fire.
Now they are forced to navigate the wreckage of the fire, quite literally. They're each a loaded weapon in their own regard, and the deeper they fall, the more they risk losing the thing that matters most to each of them.
Lex cannot lose herself.
Adrian cannot lose her.
It's not love, it's survival.
And if they're not careful, it too will be lost to the fire.
