Every sign, every omen tells her he's near, but when a fire traps her in its deadly heat, she nearly laughs at the irony.

But rejection only deepens Baby's obsession. Bound together by a web of secrets, missing people, and dangerous threats, Baby is determined to make Arson hers. Because for her, Arson is no mere savior--Arson is her twisted salvation. And Baby will stop at nothing to make him the key to her escape. ⟡ 𓆩♡𓆪 ⟡ TRIGGER WARNINGS AHEAD. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
