From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of
the popular Black Dagger Brotherhood series comes a
brand-new novel about arson investigator, Anne Ashburn, who
is consumed by her troubled past, her family's scorched
legacy, and her current case: chasing a deadly
killer.
Anne Ashburn is a woman
consumed...
By her bitter family legacy, by her
scorched career as a firefighter, by her obsession with
department bad-boy Danny McGuire, and by a new case that
pits her against a fiery killer.
Strong-willed Anne
was fearless and loved the thrill of fighting fires, pushing
herself to be the best. But when one risky decision at a
warehouse fire changes her life forever, Anne must reinvent
not only her job, but her whole self.
Shattered and
demoralized, Anne finds her new career as an arson
investigator a pale substitute for the adrenaline-fueled
life she left behind. She doesn't believe she will ever
feel that same all-consuming passion for her job
again--until she encounters a string of suspicious fires
setting her beloved city ablaze.
Danny McGuire is a
premiere fireman, best in the county, but in the midst of a
personal meltdown. Danny is taking risks like never before
and seems to have a death wish until he teams up with Anne
to find the fire starter. But Danny may be more than a
distraction, and as Anne narrows in on her target, the
arsonist begins to target her.
From the creator of
the bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood, get ready for a
new band of brothers. And a firestorm.
