Where the Flames took her (book 1 She rose on scar like wings):

The summer after graduation was supposed to be simple-one last season of freedom before life pulled them all in different directions.

But for Phoenix, nothing has ever been simple.

Phoenix has spent years hiding the truth about her home life: a mother lost to addiction, and a stepfather whose attention is anything but fatherly. She's learned to survive by staying invisible-until Zayne, her best friend's older brother and the boy she's secretly loved forever, sees the truth for himself.

Zayne steps in to protect her, old boundaries blur, and years of buried feelings ignite. But their connection threatens more than Phoenix's safety. It risks her friendship with Tee, the one person who's always been her anchor. 

Tee has always done her best to keep Phoenix and her Brother, Zayne, apart, out of fear that her best friend would need her brother more. Watching her brother and Phoenix grow closer forces Tee to confront the part of herself she's tried to hide behind boys and bravado.

As secrets unravel and lines are crossed, all three are forced to face the truth about love, loyalty, and the scars they carry. The past ties them together, but the future may burn everything apart.
