|§|He was a torch, and she was a flame. But what happens when you set a torch to a flame?|§|
KYLISE 'KYLI' BLACKWOOD was born a saint. Literally. She'd been born early, and still managed to turn out looking amazing at 17. No health problems, no nothing. Everyone who'd ever interacted with her knew that it sometimes seemed like not a thought passed through her head, like she was blissfully unaware. All sunshine,cupcakes, and rainbows. That was not the reality, though. She was not who people thought she was when she wasn't in public. And it wasn't necessarily her fault, either. Her father, who'd been a drunkie since she was 4, had killed her mother in a fury, and when he didn't remember what happened that night, blamed it on her. She, of course, knew if she said otherwise, there'd be consequences. So she kept to herself. Everything. The suicidal thoughts, the injuries, the way she often thought, everything. But on the outside, of course, she was perfectly fine.
.....right...?
MAGNUS MULLANEY had always been a no-human- interaction kind of guy. He always kept to himself, but he was intimidating when you saw him. Just looking at him, you could probably get goosebumps. The only people who he associated himself with were his best friends. Other than that, his mottto was, 'don't fuck!ng talk to me.' He looked like an 800 pound grizzly bear on the outside, but on the inside, he was only trying to get around.
Now, what happens when you set a torch to a flame?
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
