Light My Fire

HE WAS TOO HOT TO HANDLE . . .

Defense attorney Ethan Millner is paid handsomely for his ability to charm a jury while ruthlessly slashing the prosecution. He's living life in the fast lane, until he's slapped with a reckless-driving charge and sentenced to forty hours of community service on a crime-watch patrol. Now he's under the thumb of the chairperson of the city's crime-watch council--a beautiful but no-nonsense woman determined to make him pay his debt to society.

. . . SHE COULDN'T RESIST THE HEAT

Sandy DeMarco is familiar with Ethan's cutthroat character in the courtroom, as well as his notorious bad-boy reputation with women. Still, when the quiet of Sandy's neighborhood is shattered by a brutal murder and an employee of hers becomes the prime suspect, Sandy knows the accused's only hope is the man who will win at any cost. Working alongside Sandy, Ethan begins to feel sparks of attraction that ignite into love--even as a killer burns to silence those who threaten to uncover his secrets. . . .
