Page Whittaker has always been an outcast. She’s too smart, too quiet, too weird. And then there’s the terrible thing that happened at her old school with Cassidy. When a mysterious scholarship offer to gloomy Scottish boarding school Agathion College – a haven for gifted, troubled, privileged teens – comes in her mail, she jumps at the chance to accept.

Une académie magique. Des tempêtes mortelles. Une alliance forcée. Une attirance impossible. Je m’appelle Eira Fall, et je n’aurais jamais dû revenir à Cendralis.

Mais lorsque le pouvoir incontrôlable du feu s’éveille en moi, menaçant de tout réduire en cendres, je suis forcée de revenir là où tout a commencé.

Snagging a date? Not a problem. But one that meets my special requirements? As the premier best-man-for hire in all of Manhattan, I promise discretion, so when I need a plus one for a couple of I dos, she needs to be A-Plus in reliability.

But I'm a firm believer in teaching by example, and by the end of our first sex lesson, we've graduated to a hands-on approach to her education: my hands all over her, her hands all over me, and her hot mouth melting beneath mine as I prove to her there isn't a damned thing wrong with the way she kisses.

He's convinced he's too old for me. But I know he feels the electricity that crackles in the air every time we touch, and I don't care about our age gap.

I’m the station’s youngest fire chief, a grown man, and fully in my right mind - which means I’m not going to fall for the one who got away. That’s not the kind of person I am. Second chances are like skipping leg day - I don’t do that. Ever. But I wasn’t counting on Naomi buying me at the firefighter charity auction. Now I’m forced into a month of dates with the one woman who cuts through my defenses like no one else, and I’m starting to think maybe she’s right...maybe we are different people than the teenagers who failed at love.
