Burning Daylight is a gritty contemporary romance reimagining Romeo and Juliet, where Juliette Calloway, the polished daughter of Rosebrook Falls' elite family, chafes against her life of luxury, legacies, and lies, seeking escape from the carefully curated performance expected of her. Her path crosses with Roman Montgomery, a charming and mysterious stranger who is secretly the hidden heir to a rival empire built on danger and a generations-old feud, leading to anonymous, electric encounters filled with reckless smiles and undeniable chemistry that neither can resist. When Roman must claim his inheritance, the revelation of their families' enmity turns their passion into peril, forcing them to navigate betrayal, high-stakes risks, and a corrupt town where every kiss feels like a betrayal and their love becomes the most dangerous element of all. Featuring slow-burn yearning, spice, morally questionable characters, and a happily ever after, the novel warns of mature themes and potential triggers, launching the interconnected standalone Defying the Stars series.
