Trying to avoid a war between my family and one of the most notorious criminals in Seattle, I'm forced to take a job I have no interest in doing. All I have to do is hack into one of the most protected systems in the whole country, and walk away with the goods.

In the middle of this asinine scheme, the last person I expect to run into is Avery—my biggest regret, and the only woman I've ever loved. But this time, she's on the right side of the law, and the moment she spots me, she knows I'm up to no good.

She wants to bargain—or throw my ass in jail. I want her naked in my bed, screaming out my name. And they may call me Scorch for a reason, but this time around, I'll be the one who'll get burned when I put my heart on the line.
