Love Burned to Ashes
Three years ago, Samantha Jade and her parents were trapped in a raging fire. She watched with her own eyes as the flames devoured her mother and father.
At the critical moment, it was Connor Parker who charged in and saved her.
She fell hopelessly in love with him. For the following three years, she drowned in the tenderness he wove so carefully around her.
But later, Samantha discovered the truth: that fire three years ago—Connor had set it.
He had approached her on purpose, loved her on purpose, all to avenge his first love.
Every bit of love, every gentle word, every beautiful moment between them—none of it was real. It had all been a lie.
Since he hated her that much, Samantha decided to play along. Amid Connor's revenge, she faked her death.
But when he saw the charred body—believing it was hers—Connor lost his mind.
