It only takes one wrong turn to change your life forever. Witnessing a murder was not on Lacey Maples' agenda for the evening. Neither was being spotted, caught and cuffed to a cement mixer. So when the perpetrator tries to convince her he's protecting her, she's far from convinced. Especially when she sees the twinkle in his eye. For Alex Petrov, Lacey is a major glitch in an otherwise perfect plan. While his motives are pure, he can't allow Lacey to interfere before the drug deal goes down in two days' time, least of all by getting herself killed. If Alex could reveal his plans to her, he would, but it would only make her position more dangerous. And he's rapidly discovering he would do almost anything to protect her. The operation is at stake. That's all that matters. Lives hang by a thread. And sometimes, when lives hang in the balance, people do the craziest things.

In a nightclub called HellFire, things are bound to get hot. When a girl is gruesomely murdered after a night clubbing at notorious nightspot HellFire, it hits too close to home for the club's bewitching house DJ, Elizabeth Jones. Already shaken, she must make sure of her priorities when the victim's sexy ex-boyfriend Kurt starts asking questions. Kurt Roberts is convinced that someone at HellFire knows something about the murder, and has embarked on a personal crusade to find justice. But Kurt has entered a world not his own – a dangerous, savage world, where drugs and money drive people to violence and extortion. The only beacon of light? Elizabeth Jones, mesmerizing clubbers with her music and Kurt with her looks. Trusting men doesn't come easily to Elizabeth, and Kurt isn't too ready to trust her either. The murder only makes them more hesitant, but they can't help but be drawn to each other. For the first time in their lives, neither can tell which of their instincts is right. What secrets did Kurt's dead girlfriend keep from him? And what doesn't Elizabeth know about the club she calls home? With their eyes locked on each other, they may not see the danger until it's too late. Perfect for fans of Kylie Scott, Shiloh Walker and C.J. Roberts.
