Madeline "Murphy" Swan is back in Forks for one last wild summer before senior year of college-and she's not planning to spend it quietly. She's always been the loud one, the mess-maker, the party girl with paint on her jeans and trouble in her smile. But the boy she can't stop thinking about isn't just anyone: it's Sam Uley, La Push's golden boy, the one she's been trading late-night texts and secrets with since winter.
This was supposed to be simple-one hot summer, no strings. Until Sam shows up on her doorstep, and something electric snaps the air between them. Now Sam is acting different, impossibly protective, and Murphy's not sure what's more dangerous: the way his eyes find her in a crowd, or the secrets he's hiding about the world they grew up in.
With her twenty-first birthday on the horizon and the clock ticking down to August, Murphy's torn between the life she's built in Seattle and the wildfire thing sparking to life every time Sam looks at her. Add in a bickering little sister, a small town that never forgets, and a world where monsters and legends might be real, and Murphy's in over her head.
This isn't Bella's story. Murphy's not waiting to be chosen-she's running straight at the storm, dragging Sam with her. And if fate wants a fight, she's not backing down.
