Everyone thinks I’m the good girl, the dependable one who plays by the rules. And for years, I’ve let them believe it. But I’m done living my life to please everyone else. So when I slip into a daring disguise and sneak into a masked costume party I do the one thing I’ve always been warned against: I get close to Beau Walker, my secret crush and my family’s sworn enemy.
With our faces hidden and the night buzzing around us, we give in to something that’s been building for years. It’s reckless, intense, and unforgettable… until I let his name slip from my lips and the fantasy explodes around us.
What Beau says afterwards cuts deeper than I expect, shattering the version of him I’d held onto for so long.
A few years later fires start breaking out at the high school where I teach, and suddenly I’m forced to face the one man I’m trying desperately to erase, the firefighter assigned to the case.
When the tension between us finally boils over, it burns hot and fast, lighting up more than just the sky, and exposes a threat neither of us saw coming.
I absolutely adored these two and their personalities worked so well together. Beau is all rough edges and quiet devotion, a fearless, rugged firefighter with serious protective instincts. Honey, on the other hand, is warm, loyal, and far stronger than people give her credit for, bravely stepping out from under her family’s suffocating expectations. Beau might be completely gone for her, but Honey is just as hooked, and watching them fight their feelings despite everything stacked against them was pure joy.
Their chemistry is next-level, the kind that crackles off the page. And the spice? Let’s just say it brings the heat in all the right ways.
I’m a sucker for a well earned happily-ever-after, and this one hit the mark. The care, respect, and unwavering support Beau shows Honey had me swooning, but what I loved most is that she never needs rescuing. Honey stands firmly on her own, with grit and backbone to spare.
This book has shot straight to the top of my favourites. Honestly, the Walker brothers are impossible not to love and I’m counting down to what comes next because it’s clear this town still has plenty of secrets and surprises waiting to be uncovered.

Here’s the synopsis
Crossing a line has never felt this good.
I’m what you’d call a good girl—at least that’s what my family thinks. But I’m tired of living by everyone else’s rules. So when I sneak into a scandalous, masked costume party and spot Beau Walker—my longtime crush and my family’s sworn enemy—I do something bold: I cross the one line that’s utterly forbidden.
Hidden by shadows and masks, we lose ourselves in the hottest night of my life. Until I accidentally moan his name, and everything comes crashing to a halt.
Beau says things I can’t forget, and my fantasy of him shatters along with my heart.
But when suspicious fires break out at the high school where I teach, I’m forced to see the one firefighter I wish I could forget.
And when our long-smoldering tension finally ignites, the heat between us lights up the sky—and reveals a danger neither of us saw coming.
