From award-winning author Rachel Rivers comes a thrilling new standalone protector romantic suspense featuring a frigid detective and the playboy firefighter capable of thawing her heart.
Committed to living in the moment, firefighter James Hurley moves through women with the same cavalier attitude he uses to move through fires – quickly and thoroughly. After all, even rookies know that the longer a fire burns, the more damage it incurs. Hurley is no rookie���with fires or women–and knows that relationships are no different.
Major Crimes Detective Camila Martinez spurns distractions while fulfilling her duty of speaking for the dead–especially when the distraction comes in the form of an adrenaline-seeking womanizer. Throughout the first responder community she’s known as the Ice Queen, a persona she happily embraces to keep her victims at the forefront of her focus. Dedicated to her core, she pours every ounce of energy into racing the clock to solve crimes – leaving none remaining to care whether men find her as cold as the bodies she stands for.
Thrust into one another’s path by a brutal murder, no one could have predicted the intensity of the sparks that fly, melting Camila’s icy resolve as lingering doubts and unanswered questions threaten more than her investigation. The body count rises as fires continue to burn, and suddenly Hurley is faced with the deadly revelation that ice burns just as hot as the flames he battles.
