The only thing more dangerous than the truth is him ... Undercover fire investigator Jen Lawson has one mission: determine the identity of the ruthless vigilante known as the Payback Killer. Her prime suspect? Firefighter and SWAT medic Walker McClain—decorated hero, grieving widower, and a man who ignites far more than suspicion. He's everything Jen doesn't expect … and exactly the kind of distraction she can't afford. Walker doesn't let anyone get close, especially not after his wife's brutal unsolved murder. When partnered with Jen—sharp, fearless, and hiding secrets of her own—his carefully built walls begin to crack. As the vigilante attacks continue across the city, Jen and Walker's undeniable attraction sizzles. Every lead brings them closer to the truth—and closer to each other. But as Jen closes in on her investigation, desire collides with suspicion—and danger gets personal. Approximately 60,000 words
