By Jenna West

Luther knew that love existed. It existed because she brought it to his world every single day.

The plan for his life was shaping up just as he wished it to, and he and his friends had all that anybody could possibly wish for at their ripe young ages.

But things aren't always what they seem.

Daphne has almost everything that she could've ever dreamed of.

Her sister's back in town, she has the perfect boyfriend, her grades are amazing and her future seemed to be heading in just the direction that she intends.

Or is it?

When a bombshell is dropped on them both, Daphne and Luther find themselves faced with a problem that they've never encountered before. One that draws them so far apart, even their strong relationship may not prove tough enough to withstand it.

In this prequel for The Playing With Fire series, travel back in time to the place where it all started, where everything seemed as appealing as it could be when one looked from the outside, but was nothing but trouble in reality.

Where this young couple is stuck asking themselves …
