At 23, Jasmine Monroe has mastered the art of keeping things pretty ..her face, her feed, her clothing line, her distance. Love doesn't fit the brand. Vulnerability doesn't match the aesthetic. She's learned to keep things surface... safe.

Jalen Carter doesn't do surface. The 24-year-old firefighter is steady, focused, and unexpectedly patient , the type of man who moves with quiet confidence and sees through almost everything. Including her.

What begins as a spark turns into something slower, deeper, harder to ignore. Jasmine isn't looking for anything serious and Jalen isn't in the habit of chasing. But fire has a way of spreading. And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell what's real and what's just heat.

Because some flames warm you up.
And some?
Burn straight through you.All Rights Reserved
