The only way to survive the flames is to become one with them.

Since my parents died when I was young, I’ve been bounced from foster home to foster home. Some have been great. Others…not so much.

My social worker, Amanda, assures me that this new home will be my final one.

New house. New school. New life.

Surprisingly enough, my foster parents are wonderful and my foster siblings have quickly become the family I thought I lost. And I know I’ll always have my best friend and secret crush, Grayson, by my side.

But everything changes when I arrive at my new school and capture the attention of the most popular guys.

Ashton, Reid, Emery, and Ethan rule the school with an iron fist, and almost immediately, they take me under their wing.

But my new friends are a little…odd. For starters, they like to sniff me way more often than should be normal. Secondly, they seem to be enemies with some of the other guys at school—including the attractive but emotionally unavailable class president, Ansel. And finally, they seemed to have claimed me as “theirs” even before we’ve had a conversation.

I’m beginning to realize that not everything in this town is as it seems. And if I hope to survive past graduation, I’ll need to figure out how to navigate this new world I’ve found myself in.

Or I might just burn like embers.
