Someone to Live For, Someone to Die For is a Y/A, Thriller, and Romance Novel based in the fictional city of Haven Hope Harbor, Connecticut. The protagonist, Lance, is a young adult attempting to overcome his severe pyrophobia in order to become a firefighter and prevent anyone from going through the horrific apartment fire that claimed the lives of his entire family when he was nine. Scars have been left on Lance from the experience, emotional, mental, as well as physical. Matters are further complicated when a stranger appears in his town, in which a strict and harsh nightly curfew is implemented, and begins asking questions that Lance himself had long since dismissed. The stranger, an enigmatic female drifter named Elena with dark secrets of her own, and apparent ties to immortality, joins forces with the young man and together they shed light on the shadowy figure pulling the strings throughout the entire city.
