About this book

When a man emerges from unimaginable darkness bent on vengeance, the last thing he expects is to meet his match in a fierce woman with her own secrets and her own demons to fight. Jase is barely holding onto his humanity as he pursues justice for the horrors he's survived, but Lucia's arrival threatens to unravel everything—she's the one person who can make him feel again, even as she draws closer to the danger he's sworn to protect her from. Their connection is electric and all-consuming, a fire that could either save them or destroy them both. This is a dark, intense romance that explores what happens when two broken people collide and discover that sometimes our greatest weakness becomes our greatest strength.
