"I wanted nothing more than a distraction. A diversion, a bolt from the blue-whatever you want to call it, I wanted it. Too much time had passed with no event- endless months of the same routine, days and days of the same old thing, over and over until I could swear I was going grey with boredom. Nobody else could see the strands of silver, of course, and were too fast to label me a drama queen. Nobody saw it from my side, that there might just be something missing from my life."After a rough adolescence, Emmy White locked herself inside a life of strict routine and self-destruction. Even being the daughter of Britain's most prolific billionaire couldn't deter her from living in sin - binge drinking and bed hopping as part of her basic daily grind. She knew it was unhealthy. She knew she should change, but she was so set in her ways that she needed, and wished for, someone else to come and pull her out of her slump.She should have been careful what she wished for. After catching the eye of enigmatic male model, Blaze, in the midst of her usual after-work drinking spree, Emmy finds herself dragged into anxiety-ridden situations she'd usually strive to avoid and coming out of them unscathed. With her heart otherwise taken, she's not looking for love and romance, just someone to scratch an itch.Blaze is just the man. His own complications in life make him unavailable for anything beyond casual sex and that would seemingly make for a perfect non-match. He's gorgeous and compassionate, and accepts all the scars left behind by Emmy's history of immensely poor self-esteem, most of them physical...It doesn't seem possible that a pair so accepting of each other's flaws and complexities could avoid falling for each other, and it could have all been so perfect if someone hadn't accidentally let slip exactly why it is Blaze is only around at the weekends...With cameo appearances from Corri Lee's 'The Price of Success' and the 'Meet Me Halfway' series, 'Blazed' tells a whole new story while adding depth to others through butterfly effects and six degrees of separation. Characters don't just disappear when their story is told; they live on as long as you let them.
