The thing about being a PI? You learn to spot trouble a mile away. And Caleb Craven . . . he's trouble in a five-thousand-dollar suit.

People say I've got a gift for finding what doesn't want to be found—secrets, lies, the things better left buried. Years in this business taught me one truth: everyone has an angle. And it's usually about the cash. I figured Craven Industries would be just another corporate gig. Then he walked into my life.The kind of man whose steel-sharp gaze should’ve sent me running—but instead, it makes me want to play with fire.

Big mistake.

Something at Craven Industries doesn't add up. The kind of something that gets people killed. My gut says walk away, but I've never resisted a mystery—and Caleb Craven might be the deadliest one I’ve ever met. I've tailed enough predators to know when I'm being hunted. But I'm used to being the shadow, not the prey.

Now, the sharks are circling as something ancient stirs in the city's underbelly. I'm caught in the center of it all—and Caleb might be my only shot at survival. Or the beautiful blunder that finally breaks me. Because the fire between us threatens to blaze through every defense I've ever built. And in my line of work, letting your guard down is how you get killed.

But I'm learning the truth about fire . . .

It either consumes you. Or you become the inferno.
