But instead of acting on how she felt, she kept her nose stuck in a book, finding safety in the words rather than emotions. Asher had never thought of Olive as anything more than a friend. She was aloof, preferring to read books. instead of spending time with her friends. And when she moved away almost a decade ago, their friendship quickly disintegrated. But when Olive returns to visit a local university, she never expected to run into a very grown up and even more handsome Asher. And what starts off as a rekindling of an old friendship turns into a fiery relationship. Do the opposites have enough in common to go the distance? Or will their combustible chemistry cause the flames to turn everything into cinders?
