All it takes is one precarious step, and both Sayuri and Miwa are enveloped in a whirlwind relationship that brings them closer to the edge than ever before. For schoolteacher Sayuri, that means letting go of the life that is no longer hers to claim.

Every time they speak, kindling is thrown into the flame. And every time they touch, the fire grows hotter. Imagine what a single kiss contains. AS ALL OUR FIRES BURN is a standalone romance.
