Burned (New Adult Romance)

Holly, a 20-year-old from a quaint Colorado mountain town, always dreamed of escaping its monotonous routine. College initially seemed like the perfect escape, but she soon found herself caught up in a whirlwind of late-night adventures. Regrettably, mornings would often find her in unfamiliar bedrooms, jeopardizing her scholarship. Now back in Conifer, she feels lost and uncertain about her future. Andrew's world was turned upside down when his father passed away in an electrical accident. His heart aches to leave, but his mother's fragile mental state ties him to their hometown. He feels trapped, with each passing day taking away his chances for a fresh start. In a moment of crisis for a mutual friend, Holly hatches a daring plan - a plan that, if successful, could bring positive change for everyone involved. She understands that sometimes, even after a past setback, a spark can ignite a new beginning. Yet, she worries that her growing feelings for Andrew might become a raging flame, one that could either heal their hearts or consume them both. Will Holly find the courage to reignite old flames, or will their emotions lead to destruction? The outcome remains uncertain, hanging in the balance of their desires and the power of their connection.
