On the
trail of a killer, and with her old flame back in her life, Detective
Alicia Knowles is forced to face the past as she tries to make
decisions about her future…
Detective
Alicia Knowles once believed there was good in everyone. Not anymore.
After a harrowing experience, her life had changed and she was a very
different woman. Now more dangerous, she moves through the darkness
of her once sunny world, unsure what to do with her pent up feelings
of fear and anger.
Even her
new boss, Cole Douglass, makes her feel out of control. One night,
years ago, he made her feel things she'd never felt with any other
man. This time it can only be business between them.
With her
latest case, however, temperatures flare.
Their
passion is rekindled as the search is on for a missing child and a
murderer on the run. Can Alicia protect her heart from the most
dangerous power of all…love?

She
turned around. Their chests brushed, and she gave him a half-smile.
“I know Hannah might not blame me, but I do. A few more moments,
it’s all we would have needed. I’d change it if I could.” When
Cole opened his mouth, she placed her fingers on his lips to silence
him. “I can’t, but I vow to do whatever it takes to catch this
son-of-a-bitch.”
Alicia
tried to convey the sincerity of her promise as she stared into his
eyes. For Hannah, and this man, she’d do whatever she could to
bring peace to their family once more.
“I
know you would. But you can’t carry the weight of the world on your
shoulders. We’ll get him.” He raised his hand to her cheek and
pushed back a strand of hair that had fallen over her face. Her
breath quickened at the light touch. Her body stilled.
The
air crackled with electricity. She was sure he could feel it, too;
the tension rolled off his body like waves in the ocean. To walk away
would be the best thing to do, but for the life of her, Alicia
couldn’t get her feet to move.
“You
know what, Ali?” His voice was soft and powerfully seductive. “You
know what I remember most about our night together?”
Alicia’s
hand clasped his wrist, below where his fingers rested lightly on her
cheek. She wanted to fall into his arms, burn beneath his touch
again. They’d never talked about it and she was curious to know
what he remembered.
She
remembered it all.
Every
touch and sigh. Every kiss and pleasure she basked in.
Through
many a cold and lonely night, she cherished the memories of Cole’s
hard body pressed against hers, pushing her against the mattress—and
the wall and the bathroom counter—but she marveled at how he’d
made her feel like more of a woman in one night than she’d felt in
all her adult years.
Her
voice hoarse and scratchy, she whispered, “What do you remember?”
“Our
fire.”
When
his mouth claimed hers, her body ignited with long-repressed
emotions. Hunger, mind-blowing hunger, rattled through her. It was so
hard to breathe.
