A reclusive, obscenely rich Kentucky lottery winner and grieving mother tricks Marisa Adair into investigating a twenty-year-old cold case.

During a serial arsonist's reign of terror, Mayla Kenton died in an inferno, leaving her mother to grieve -- and burn for vengeance. Armed with newfound wealth and a long-standing passion for justice, Mrs. Kenton is determined to find her daughter's killer and finally make them pay.

As Marisa reluctantly delves into Mayla's tragic death, she's also in hot pursuit of her own personal vendetta. She must expose Alisa, her childhood bully. Alisa targets vulnerable online victims while hiding behind her screen -- including Marisa's tormented brother. Alisa also holds the thread to unravel chilling decades-old secrets, stretching from their shared past to the sinister present.

The mysteries of Mayla's death and Alisa's twisted past converge. They collide, leaving Alisa brutally murdered and Marisa the prime suspect. Her arrest for a crime she didn't commit threatens to destroy the life she worked to rebuild. Alex, her childhood friend and her infuriating boss, rushes to help clear her name. Alex is a stodgy numbers cruncher with zero tolerance for chaos -- and Marisa's brash tendency to hurtle headlong into danger. While he looks-looks-looks before he leaps, Marisa has already crash-landed squarely in the deadly chaos. As secrets of the past and present hit the flashpoint, their tempers clash and their personal and professional boundaries crumble to ashes. Heated arguments ignite... and explode into a burning attraction that threatens to consume them both.

Trapped between passion and peril, Marisa risks losing not only her freedom but the fragile chance at love she never thought she'd want -- or need. Can she and Alex navigate their sizzling connection and the deadly truths they uncover, or will everything go up in smoke?
