When 17-year-old Laney Rhodes lands a summer job helping out at Rustwood Ranch, she's just hoping to escape her chaotic home life and earn enough cash to fix up her broken-down truck. What she doesn't expect is Colt Walker-the brooding, frustratingly attractive ranch owner's son with a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas.
From the moment they meet, sparks fly-literally. A barn fire they accidentally start during a heated argument forces them into working closely together on restoration projects around the property. But as the summer blazes on, Laney and Colt discover an electric pull neither of them can explain. They're polar opposites: she's wild and impulsive; he's methodical and guarded. And yet, they just fit.
Then strange things start to happen-shared dreams, knowing things about each other they shouldn't, an undeniable sense of dΓ©jΓ vu. When they find a pair of matching birthmarks shaped like a flame, they learn a startling truth: they're soulmates, part of a local legend that says when two destined hearts meet, their love burns hot-and fast.
With the summer ticking down and an old family secret threatening to tear them apart, Laney and Colt must decide: is this wildfire love worth risking everything?
