"She was the fire he tried to capture. He was the light she couldn't escape."
When Cathy wakes in a hospital bed, the world she knew is gone.
Her boyfriend lies in a coma. Her mother is dead by her own hand. Everyone says it was an accident, but the fragments in her mind whisper otherwise.
Then she meets Lucian, a quiet photographer who carries a secret of his own, a set of photographs taken the night of the crash. In one of them, frozen by lightning and rain, Cathy stands at the center of a moment that shouldn't exist.
Lucian has always seen the world through his camera lens; a place where beauty burns brightest before it fades. But when he looks at Cathy, her golden gaze feels like staring into a living flame, dangerous and magnetic. And for the first time, he can't tell whether he's capturing the light... or being consumed by it.
As they piece together what really happened that storm-swept night, love and guilt intertwine in ways neither of them expects. The deeper they go, the more the truth unravels ; revealing that some fires are meant to destroy, and some are meant to awaken what's been sleeping beneath the ashes.
Because in a world where memory deceives and light can wound,
sometimes the only way to survive the past
is to burn straight through it.
