What would you do if the man you thought loved you put a bullet in your chest? 
What would you do if you woke up with a bullet onto your chest and a stranger sewing up the wound? 
What would you do if said stranger who saved you and sold up your bullet boot kept you captive on his tiny island?

Well, this is what happens to Laura when instead of preparing for her wedding she gets shot by the groom and left for dead. In comes arsonist and scarred hero Phoenix who decides to keep Laura for himself on his tiny island. She fights him at every turn, while keeping the heat at bay.  Until it all comes to a head and they fall. 

I had mixed emotions on this book. Phoenix had been through a lot. Gosh some parts had me cringing. This man ripped his lips apart. For her. All in all I actually liked it.
