Through the Flames

The first time I met Hunter Rhodes, I didn’t even know his name, but the moment I touched him, it felt like the world had tilted off its axis.

Our worlds keep colliding, and every time, he leaves me breathless. He’s everywhere. And though nothing in my life feels steady anymore, having an innocent crush on a guy so far out of my league doesn’t seem so bad… or so I thought.
Turns out, I was wrong. He’s been watching me longer than I realized, circling closer every day until escape isn’t an option. He’s a constant storm — violent, relentless, impossible to ignore. He burns hotter than anyone I’ve ever known, and somehow, he’s decided I’m the only thing he wants.
He shows up when I don’t ask. Protects me when I don’t need it. Looks at me like I’m the answer to a question he’s been asking his whole life. Possessive, protective, infuriating — and somehow, I can’t bring myself to care.

Because when Hunter chooses you, he doesn’t do it halfway. He doesn’t know how.
And even when the truth comes out — about that night, about him, about everything he’s been keeping from me — I know one thing for sure:
Hunter Rhodes is mine.
And I’m his.
