Connor feels destined to live life in the extreme, so he expects nothing more than drama when the latest annual game he plays with his brothers requires him to revisit part of his wild past. He feels compelled to face Gabriela Miller again—a girl whose heart he crushed back in high school. She'd probably slap him silly if she ever saw him again, but Connor feels a pull to her he can't deny. Besides, what he did to her—that was so long ago; she couldn't possibly still be holding a grudge, right? Connor realizes he's usually a force of destruction but straps himself in for the ride, hoping to repair part of their connection instead of inflicting more damage.
To Gabriela Miller, Connor Wilde is like fire itself: entrancing and dangerous. She's been burned by Connor before, and how many times does one need to stick one's hand in a fire to realize the damage it can cause? When Connor pops up in her life again, she knows he's up to no good; at the very least, smoke is on the horizon, whether he means to start a fire or not. But fire sometimes has to take its course no matter how much water you try to douse it with. Gabriela plans to fight Connor off for as long as she can, but if he finds his way in again, will she be left in ruins like before?
