About this book

When a series of devastating arsons turns deadly in Chicago, firefighter Lieutenant Reed Solliday finds himself partnered with Detective Mia Mitchell—a sharp, no-nonsense investigator who challenges him at every turn. As the fires grow more sinister and the victims tell a chilling story, Reed and Mia realize they're hunting someone with a deeply personal vendetta, and their chemistry born from friction might be exactly what they need to stop him. But this arsonist is playing a dangerous game, setting traps that threaten everyone they care about, and Mia's caught in the crosshairs of an obsession that could consume them both. Intense, gripping, and impossible to put down, this is romantic suspense that burns bright with danger and the kind of connection forged in the hottest circumstances.
