Studying the course of her choice, living with her gorgeous best friend and miles away from her obnoxious mother, she finally feels in control of her life.
Until one fateful night when she is rescued by a boy with haunting azure eyes.
The more she tries to push him away, the more he pulls her in.
He turns her world upside down and leaves her shattered and shining all the same.
He is a puzzle she has to figure out and it's not going to be easy when he doesn't want to be figured out.
He knows he'll destroy her and yet he can't help it.
But when it comes to Jason Chase, everything is worth it.
" If she was fire, he was gasoline. Without each other they were incomplete and together, they could burn their entire world down to ashes. "
"It's painful, it hurts more than any physical injury ever could, but no matter what they say, love is beautiful."

I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.

But what hasn't changed is how he looks at her... like she's the only person who's ever mattered. Their reunion is messy, filled with snark and unresolved resentment, but beneath the anger is something deeper-yearning, history, and something dangerously close to love.
