Bestselling author JoAnn Ross turns up the heat in a novel of heart-stopping suspense and white-hot passion that takes readers from the sultry South Carolina Lowcountry to the rugged Northern California coast, and ultimately into the darkest reaches of the human heart…

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 killed 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…
