What would you do if a stranger claimed everything you believed was a lie? Christabel Hardy doesn’t believe a word special forces operative Carrick O’Neill says about the top-secret defence department she works for. Why should she, when he kidnapped her? He’s the enemy, not her. Determined to use her psi abilities and escape from him the first chance she gets, she must ignore the heat blazing between them. The heat that scorches white-hot, burning through her inhibitions and fears. But as dangerous enemies are revealed and danger mounts, Christa’s going to have to trust Carrick to keep her safe—hell, to keep her alive. And when it’s all burned to the ground, will she and Carrick be among the ashes?

Art specialist Francesca Spiers has the gift of psychometry—she can read objects and sense things about them…or their owners. When she handles an item and sees its owner was murdered, she’s drawn into the stranger’s life and becomes an amateur psi PI, looking into his death. Hunter doesn’t believe his brother crashed his car out of carelessness or depression and takes a leave of absence from Britain’s elite SAS force to investigate. The last thing he expects to catch is a beautiful brunette who knows more than his family than anyone should. Working together in the face of betrayal and danger, Hunter and Chessy discover they’re well matched in other ways as Hunter shows her how to enjoy playing with fire for as long as their paths cross. But what happens when the heat doesn’t cool between them? When instead, between two people afraid to trust, it forges new and different bonds?
