After the tragic death of her father several years ago, Cocoa’s mother has finally found love again.
Cocoa is uprooted from Los Angeles, California to a small town in West Virginia before the start of her
senior year. Though she’s not enthusiastic about the move, she’s very excited that her mother has found
the will to love again. Cocoa meets Maverick prior to the first day of school. Cocoa is biracial and is
everything Maverick has been taught to hate. Though Maverick hates her on sight, a fire burns between
them that could destroy both of their worlds, leaving them in ashes. Cocoa can sense the hurt and anger
in Maverick wanting to burst free and consume everything in its path. Will Cocoa be the one person that
can soothe Maverick’s soul before he self-destructs?
Maverick’s mother committed suicide to escape her abusive husband, leaving six-year-old Maverick to
face the fists of his father alone. The only things Maverick can relate to are power, control, pain, and
anger. He doesn’t know how to love. He’s afraid of the feelings that Cocoa stirs in him because he’s not
supposed to want her with a fever that burns so bright that it leaves him aching. The only way he knows
how to control his feelings is to destroy Cocoa and make her hurt.

Book Trailer
Lorrain has enjoyed writing ever since she was a child and was also part of the poetry club in middle
school. She loves to get away from the world and lose herself in a book. As a young adult, she became a
romance book junky and was inspired to pen her first romance by the many creative authors whose
books she's read. She wants to provide her fans with a suspenseful read that has a twist at the end. The
subject matters of her books are a little controversial, but life is boring without a little controversy.
