Elle Montgomery

Elle Montgomery is a good girl. Born and raised in a small town in Washington State, she’s always done exactly what she’s supposed to and what everyone expects of her. She helps out at the café her family owns, and has been dating the pastor’s son, Logan, since she was allowed to go on her first date at sixteen. Having just graduated from high school, and knowing that Logan wants to put a ring on her finger and get married as soon as possible, Elle feels like her life is already mapped out.

Following an awkward, embarrassing first meeting, Elle knows she should keep away from Cole and the feelings he ignites in her. And Cole just can’t help but pursue Elle, the girl who seems immune to his charms. But as summer heats up, their attraction grows, and as tensions between them run high, Elle and Cole realise that one way or another, they’re going up in flames…
