A bond this strong canāt stay broken. Life near the army base at Fort Benning, Georgia, might be small, but itās safe. That suits Karina Fischer just fine. She knows letting anyone get close to her means she could get hurt, and sheās had enough of that in her almost twenty-one years to last a lifetime. The only man sheās ever let in, Kael Martin, betrayed her trust before they could find their way together. She canāt forgive him for what heās done, but letting go still feels impossible.
Kael Martinās scars run deep, but the mark Karina left on him is deeper. He canāt get her out of his mind or his heart. Heās ready to start fresh, adjust to civilian life, and build a future outside of the Armyāone he hopes could include Karina, because their spark, while it burned, was unforgettable.
Now, just when it seems their world is crumbling and canāt be put back together, circumstances force them to confront what they canāt deny: the volatile, passionate, all-consuming love they canāt live without.
Karina and Kael's unlikely love story, which began in THE FALLING, grows deeper and even more intense in THE BURNING, the second book in the Brightest Stars trilogy.
