Abby wakes up on a quaint tropical beach knowing only two things: her memory is gone, and she is not quite human. The power of a crimson flame dwells within her, branding her with horrible scars and begging to be unleashed.

​

She soon meets Kanoa, a local islander who once had a promising career as a concert pianist before his world was shattered by the death of his whole family. He spent years putting himself and his mind back together, so he takes Abby in out of sympathy. However, Abby keeps the flame secret and suppressed, afraid of being cast out if anyone knew what she was truly capable of.

​

Abby soon learns that her former life is a violent shadow best left behind, but her current self may be the key to reviving Kanoa's passion for life, and he may be the key to her new future. But the crimson flame has a will of its own, and it will make certain that Abby can never forget the past in this paranormal romance.
