When Indy Jade Monroe and Matthew Bernard Sturniolo find themselves trapped in a wildfire during a school camping trip, survival becomes their only option. but neither expected to face the wildest storm inside themselves. As the smoke thickens and danger closes in, they're forced to confront their fears, their pasts, and the unexpected pull between them. Indy is fierce, guarded, and fiercely independent, a girl who's built walls to protect her heart. Matt is confident, protective, and the last person she thought she'd trust. But in the silence of the burning forest, every glance, every touch, every whispered secret sparks something neither can deny. With danger lurking and rescue uncertain, what starts as survival becomes a slow-burning connection neither wants to lose. But when the outside world crashes back in, can Indy and Matt hold onto what the fire forged? Or will the flames burn their chance at something real? Flicker is a raw, emotional, and steamy story about survival, vulnerability, and finding love in the unlikeliest of places.
