A novel by

When Detective Laura Cruz steps into the ashes of a brutal arson-murder, she expects flames. She doesn't expect him—Dean Maddox, a haunted ex-FBI profiler with secrets darker than the crime scenes they chase.
Their partnership is volatile from the start: too much heat, not enough distance. Every clue they uncover pulls them deeper into a twisted legacy of fire, obsession, and a killer who knows Laura better than she knows herself.
As bodies burn and symbols reappear, Laura must confront the inferno of her past—and the dangerous desire that threatens to consume her future. Dean is the one man who might save her... or destroy her completely.
Can two broken souls outrun the fire, or will they become part of the blaze?
