Sometimes, the fiercest flames reveal the truest fire.
When Indy Jade Monroe and Matthew Bernard Sturniolo find themselves trapped in a wildfire during a school camping trip, survival becomes their only option.
but neither expected to face the wildest storm inside themselves. As the smoke thickens and danger closes in, they're forced to confront their fears, their pasts, and the unexpected pull between them.
Indy is fierce, guarded, and fiercely independent, a girl who's built walls to protect her heart. Matt is confident, protective, and the last person she thought she'd trust. But in the silence of the burning forest, every glance, every touch, every whispered secret sparks something neither can deny.
With danger lurking and rescue uncertain, what starts as survival becomes a slow-burning connection neither wants to lose. But when the outside world crashes back in, can Indy and Matt hold onto what the fire forged? Or will the flames burn their chance at something real?
Flicker is a raw, emotional, and steamy story about survival, vulnerability, and finding love in the unlikeliest of places.
i cant help but 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, even though i try 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 ━━━━━━━━ ☆ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 ... jules needed a brand new start. a fresh start from her old habits and her surroundings. moving to boston with her brothers and starting a new high school, the girl meet new people who she later on consideres her best friends. there's one of them though, that always seems to be getting under skin, and making her blood boil. matthew sturniolo. she wasn't sure why, but she felt hatred for the boy. since the first day of school - where she accidentally bumped into him - he had been rude and unfriendly towards the girl.
𝐎𝐑 ... matthew had no right to feel the hatred that he did towards the girl - but he did. there was something about hating her that made him feel something. burying his feelings behind insults and banter, he continues to get under her skin and act unpleasant towards her. it seems like the more time he spends with the girl - the more he hates her. but in reality, it's the other way around, really.
there is a thin line between love and hate, and crossing it means no going back. there was no going back now, 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐭?
