"One kiss could ruin her focus. One night could change everything."

IN WHICH Jaylen Sinclair has it all. The looks, the money, the reputation. an engineering student from Cherry Gardens with a wicked smile and charm to match, he's used to women falling at his feet but when he runs into Talia on UTECH's campus, unimpressed & untouched by his energy- he knew he found his next obsession.

Talia's only focus is on survival, not seduction. she's juggling school, a part-time job, and the weight of a world that doesn't hand out second chances to people like her. she doesn't have time for a spoiled rich boy, no matter how fine he is, especially one with exes that won't let go and friends who wouldn't last an hour where she's from.

Still... Jaylen keeps showing up.

In her space. In her head. In her dreams.

And when sparks start flying, from heated arguments to breathless encounters in dimly lit spaces, Talia begins to question if she's really in control. Because falling for a boy like Jaylen could mean more than heartbreak... it could mean losing herself completely.

But maybe some flames are worth getting burned for.
