Scorched

*Scorched* by **Jennifer L. Armentrout** is a steamy **college romance** that thrives on sharp banter, messy feelings, and the kind of attraction that refuses to behave. Andrea Walters and firefighter-in-training Tanner Hammond have a long-running love/hate dynamic: too much chemistry to ignore, too many buttons to stop pushing.

What starts as a volatile push-and-pull begins to shift when Tanner wants more than a convenient night, and Andrea wants to believe she’s worth more than being someone’s afterthought. But Andrea’s coping mechanisms are dangerous, and the closer Tanner gets, the clearer it becomes that desire can’t fix what she’s running from. Their connection deepens under **forced proximity**, with a **dual POV** that lays both hearts on the table—without easy answers.

Perfect for readers who like **new adult romance**, friends-to-lovers tension, emotionally gritty storylines, and high-heat scenes with genuine stakes.

Add it to your basket when you’re craving a guilty-pleasure read that still hits hard.
