From the back cover

In a world scorched by relentless heatwaves, Claire is thrown back to the night her best friend Olivia calls, sobbing, after being cast out by her husband Nathan Zhang. Claire remembers her past life: she drove 120 miles to rescue Olivia, only to be betrayed three months later when Olivia tore off her protective heat suit and left her to die in the searing sun, then lured Claire's husband Ethan to his death.

Given a second chance, Claire refuses to repeat her kindness. She tells Olivia to return to Nathan, then calls him to insist they stay together, determined to keep the pair away from her family. Yet the true crisis looms: in three days, temperatures will climb above 120°F, bringing chaos, dwindling supplies and rising crime. Claire urges her parents to prepare their village's abandoned fallout shelter in the back hills, a cool refuge she recalls from childhood.

This time, Claire will not let blind trust cost her the people she loves.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

Dressed in nothing but her pajamas, she stood sobbing on the side of the road, begging me to take her in.

I drove 120 miles to pick her up, brought her home, fed her, and bought her new clothes. I even encouraged her to leave her abusive husband.

But three months later, when her life didn’t improve, she tore off my protective heat suit and left me to die under the searing 120°F sun.

Her reasoning?

“If you hadn’t told me to divorce him, I wouldn’t be living such a miserable life!”

“Claire, can you come pick me up?”
