"One touch changed everything. One lie almost destroyed it all."

Lena Carter knows how to disappear—into books, into the background, into the quiet safety of being unnoticed. Ethan Cole is the opposite: a storm-gray-eyed artist with a reputation for burning through relationships as fast as his cigarettes. When their hands brush in a crowded high school hallway, the spark between them threatens to ignite everything Lena's spent years protecting.

What starts as stolen glances and secret rooftop confessions soon becomes an all-consuming fire.

But when anonymous texts reveal Ethan's past and old wounds resurface, Lena does the one thing she swore she'd never do: she runs. Now Ethan—the boy who never lets anyone in—is left holding the ashes of the first real connection he's ever had.

Fate has other plans.

A chance encounter at the library, a forgotten love letter, and one last chance to choose: let the world douse their flame... or risk setting everything ablaze for a love that won't be ignored.
