About the book

Derrick Woods is 17, addicted to nicotine and depression, with bad-boy looks and a hero complex—maybe because he’s always trying to save someone, usually his addict mother or wild girlfriend.

But when Derrick is kicked out of his life and sent to boarding school halfway across the world, there’s no one left to save except himself and maybe her—Scarlet Thorne, a seemingly perfect girl with a heart full of secrets.

Drawn to each other by a force stronger than fire, deeper than fate, they’re both about to discover what love really is—and nothing will ever be the same.
