Contemporary | Romance Suspense

It's been two years since the mill fire; two years since her fiancé was killed in that horrible blaze. Tess Gannon is now a fire cop, staying out of burning buildings, but investigating the reasons for each blaze. It's a job she's earned and one she loves. Tess is also determined to find whoever was responsible for Danny's death, that moment her life changed forever. And the arsonist will pay! Tess is investigating a fire set by a serial pyromaniac calling himself the Flamemaster when she meets ATF Special Agent Gage O'Halloran. Gage has secrets regarding the Flamemaster and suspects he's connected to a serial killer he apprehended three years earlier who's now on death row in San Quentin for killing Gage's wife. Tess and Gage work together to apprehend this brutal monster before he strikes again. I don't know what's hotter -- the heat from a 5-alarm blaze or the friction ignited between these two passionate people. They singe the pages. BLAZE is an unbelievable adventure. It's a strong story, rich in characterization, with a powerful ending. Ms. Ross is a born storyteller. You don't want to miss this one.

SUMMARY

Fire cop Tess Gannon is hot on the trail of a pyromaniac who's been setting buildings ablaze throughout Somersett, South Carolina, when ATF Special Agent Gage O'Halloran arrives on her fire scene. Coming out of a self-imposed exile, Gage suspects that Tess's "Flamemaster" is connected to a serial killer he apprehended three years ago. Tess doesn't like Gage. He's too rude. Too arrogant. Too damn...male. Worse yet, she doesn't trust him. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Tess and Gage race to stop the killer from striking another fatal match. But Gage's fragile hope for redemption is put to the test when Tess becomes ensnared in a homicidal pyromaniac's deadly obsession. And time is running out...
