Loving Red (#1 Burning Red series)

"maybe we're too young and yeah- we're reckless and who knows? it might not work out. but the minutes of it working out with you and the chance of a broken heart is so much better than it never having happened and me not knowing what it's like to be loved by you, so yeah, i think it's pretty worth it."

Scarlet Gray's life has been anything but easy. Her father is fresh out of jail after attempting to kill her, her mother seems too forgiving, and Scarlet is left battling depression and suicidal thoughts. To escape their father, Scarlet's brothers sign them up for an exchange program, sending them to a small town in the French Alps.

Adjusting to life in France is no small feat-especially when Scarlet finds herself at odds with Adrian Roux, the infuriating boy she's forced to spend time with and even worse, live with. Despite their constant bickering, Scarlet begins to carve out a new life, reconnecting with her love for soccer and building a close friendship with Adrian's sister, Madelin. But just as she starts to heal and settle into her new world, the horrors of her past come crashing back when her father finds her.

Terrified and broken, Scarlet is left questioning how to move forward. With the support of her brothers, Adrian, and Madelin, Scarlet must find the strength to reclaim her life and finally confront her demons.

**A story of resilience, friendship, and the courage to rise above the past.**
