Where desire ignites between bullets, blood, and burning rubber.

The man I last saw when I was just a girl came crashing back into my life—literally—after fourteen years.

Same smile. Those same mesmerizing eyes. Only now, they’re darker, more haunted.

He carries demons I can’t touch. And a past my father destroyed before I was born. 

The miles and years between us made us strangers, but the pull is instant, electric. 

Not even the speed, the danger, the way the world blurs behind the wheel has ever made me feel as alive as I do in his arms.

But when he spills the wrong blood in my honor, everything spirals into chaos. 

Loyalties shatter and alliances burn.

And the only thing more dangerous than loving him…is losing him.

Our names were carved in the stars long before our story began.

I used to think that meant something beautiful. That destiny had a plan and our love would come easy.

I was wrong.

Fate might have lit the match, but it never promised we’d survive the burnout.
