Jess Killian loves two things in her life—dance and Finn Spelling. A chance encounter with Finn had her hoping for the future she'd dreamed off, only to have Finn to ghost her after giving her the best kiss of her life. Heartbroken she pours everything she has into her dance and cemented her place in her dance company. Yet the hurt from Finn's silence led her into a situation that put her life in danger. A danger she battled and won. Everything is going to plan until Finn shows up backstage at one of her shows and all those feelings she believed dead, are brought back to life.

Walking away from Jess had been one of the hardest things Finn has done, but he'd had his reasons. Those reasons were forgotten the moment he'd walked into the theatre and saw Jess's face on a poster. Then he saw her dance and everything fell into place—she was his, but convincing her of that was going to be a challenge. Jess didn't want anything to do with him and he couldn't blame her. Not after the way he'd turned his back on her. Giving up wasn't in Finn's vocabulary and he wasn't going to let it enter it now. He'd show Jess that they were meant to be.

When it appears that Jess is the target of someone's wrath, Finn goes into protector mode. He isn't going to let anything happen to her and keeps her close. Only he can't always be beside her and when the unthinkable happens, Finn is ready to burn down the world and make the ones who hurt Jess pay.
