Ember Harding, having recently fled an abusive marriage in L.A., seeks refuge in the remote reaches of Maine. Haunted by the fear of her ex-husband Gabriel discovering her whereabouts, she encounters Hale, the man who delivers her groceries. Yet, Hale harbors secrets of his own. Amidst the unraveling of his mysterious past, the menace of a masked intruder, and a dark secret hidden within her new home, Ember is forced to confront her fears and heal from her trauma. The question remains: Will Hale be her savior from the nightmares that chase her, or will he ignite the flames of destruction?
Certain scenes depicted involve domestic abuse and manipulation. This book was written fictitiously but has been carefully laced with personal experiences to better craft the story and shed light on mental health conditions.
***This is a first draft, so more than likely, I will be updating some of the chapters as I go through and edit.

A powerful Phoenix trapped inside a teenage girl's body, plus a wanted American werewolf and a group of hunters coming after them... What could possibly go wrong?
*****
She is Ember. A closed-off and secluded girl with far too many secrets - one being that she's a supernatural mythical mix of a Phoenix that she is desperately trying to control. As her abilities develop, it feels like she's running out of time to control the Phoenix before the fire breaks loose and hurts someone she loves.
He is Theo. Equally secretive yet far better at hiding it, this cocky American showed up from nowhere and now seems to be everywhere. The fact he's a werewolf just complicates things further.
Hunters are chasing Theo from America to the UK, under the alleged claim that he brutally murdered his pack - a bloody yet unlikely accusation. As much as Ember wants to help Theo, she's fighting her own battles, and the two have to figure out their on-and-off relationship first.
In this deceitful world of supernatural and normal humans, outsiders threaten Ember, Theo and their friends - both old and new. Can this group of supernatural teens be brought together by their desperation? Or will they forever be in conflict?
Both Ember and Theo are playing a dangerous game with fire, and it's impossible to know who might get burned.
