Lolita O’Malley has secrets. Lots of secrets. Being a pyromaniac when her dad was an ex fire chief was a big one. Being an assassin under The Bellona Collective was infinitely bigger. Bellona helped her manage her impulse control disease and kept her focused on her future while maintaining her ability to never let her secrets into the light. She has no time for serious relationships considering her last foray into love led her into a world of trouble.
Diarmid Clooney is a federal fire marshal and a new case has landed on his desk, moving him back to New York. In reconnecting with his closest friend and mentor he’s reacquainted with Conor’s daughter Lita and she’s all grown up.
When Lita reveals her childhood crush on him was the catalyst to one of the most horrific nights of her life and the cause of her current dark path, Diarmid believes he can help Lita overcome some of the pain in her past. Convincing Lita not everything needs to go up in flames is a hard task but what else is a firefighter good for if not controlling blazing infernos, especially when the heat between them is just too hot to avoid.
Lita needs to tread carefully because it’s her fires in the files on his desk and her future at risk. Will she surrender peacefully or will Lita do what she does best and let the world burn?
