Catch the Sun

"Kissing you feels like catching the sun . . ."

They were inseparable at seven. Then life intervened, and Ella Sunbury disappeared without a word.

A decade later, she's back — moving in across the street from Max Manning, her childhood best friend, for their senior year of high school. But she's not the girl he remembers. Now she lives in the long shadow of her brother: a convicted felon on death row, guilty of a crime that shook the nation. Shunned by her peers and desperate to disappear, Ella wants nothing more than to fade into the background.

Max has his own weight to carry — a disabled father, a distant twin brother, and no room for distractions. But Ella's return stirs something he can't ignore. He wants to know her again. To understand her. To turn what they had into something more.

As their bond slowly rebuilds, new tragedy threatens to shatter everything. The darkness is real. But so is the pull between them.

To catch the sun, they'll have to endure the flames.

Contains mature themes.
