Crystal Amaquelin thought she had it all. A dream job in Manhattan, freedom from her controlling family in Attilan, and no trace of her ex-fiance Maximus, the man she's despised her whole life.
But when the Avengers can't stop him, Maximus tears open a rift, and Crystal is thrown into a retro-futuristic world, convinced her own world has been destroyed.
There, she meets Johnny Storm. The Human Torch. A notorious flirt, quick with a grin, and even quicker to fall in love. Everyone knows he burns too bright, too fast. Crystal hits him harder than anyone ever has. The harder she resists, the hotter it burns, until sparks turn into wildfire.
As Maximus rises again to threaten this world, Crystal and the Fantastic Four must fight back. But if her dangerous bond with Johnny becomes their undoing, they could lose more than the fight. They could lose each other.
~ Takes place after Fantastic Four: The First Steps, but before the post-credits scene ~

She was the quiet constant in their chaotic world-sharp mind, steady hands, and a heart that kept the Fantastic Four grounded. But the day the Sliver Surfer arrived, Trixie's carefully buried secret ripped free... and the team learned the truth: she wasn't powerless. She was dangerous.
Now, with a cosmic threat hurtling toward Earth, the woman Johnny Storm once dismissed as "just the assistant" might be the only one who can stop it-if her powers don't destroy her first.
Family, loyalty, and the pull of something unspoken ignite as Johnny races to keep her from breaking apart... and to keep himself from losing her.
