I came to Ember Hollow to do my job—defend a client in court everyone wants to see burn. What I didn’t plan on was him.

​

Dr. Graham Ramsey is brilliant, calm, and infuriatingly observant. He sees too much—every lie I tell, every mask I wear to keep my past buried. I should stay away from him. I’ve spent years building walls thick enough to keep anyone out, yet somehow not him.

When someone attacks me outside the library, Graham is the one who finds me. The one who refuses to let me push him away. The one who makes me feel something I haven’t felt in years—safe.

​

Now, danger is closing in, and so are my feelings for him. Every touch, every look, every moment we spend together burns hotter than the last.

​

I know I shouldn’t let my guard down. I know trusting him could destroy everything I’ve worked for.

But some fires can’t be contained.

​

And Graham Ramsey might be the one person willing to burn with me.
