A sweeping story of love, loss and taking chances set in a small town during a scorching summer.

L A

In the aftermath of a bad break-up, I move back home looking to follow my dream of becoming a writer.

But money is tight and when I'm offered an insane amount to teach French to a teenager, I can't turn it down.

Enter my boss: grumpy, arrogant, and irresistibly challenging, he stirs emotions I don't want to deal with.

Yet, despite our initial clashes, the sparks between us ignite a passion as intense and unpredictable as a summer storm. Together, we are a fire, yet I can't forget that our connection is as fleeting as the season's heatwave.

Is this just another heartbreak waiting to happen, or could our story have a happy ending worthy of the novels I yearn to write?

MARK

I have a professional life many dream of but don't let that fool you.

I'm a workaholic, widowed single father to a teenage son who hates me, surrounded by women only interested in the size of my bank balance.

Until her.

A refreshing paradox to the shallowness I'm surrounded with, her natural beauty and fearless honesty challenge and captivate me, urging me to question everything. Before I know it, I'm falling into something I'm not sure I can get out of.

Yet, as our worlds collide, I'm forced to confront a daunting question: do I have the courage to truly let go of my life and step into the unknown with her?
