But she is not the only one fascinated by the flames. Someone else sees their power as well – and is obsessed not with conquering the fire but with controlling it, owning it, using it to exact vicious revenge.

When Reena achieves her goal and joins the arson unit, her strength and wits are constantly tested. Though sometimes the job seems like a snap compared to her love life. One relationship after another has ended for her – some in tragedy or drama, some not with a bang but with a whimper. And she can’t always blame them – after all, a soot-caked woman barking orders and smelling of smoke isn’t the biggest turn-on in the world. Then she meets Bo Goodnight, who seems different. He’s been trying to find Reena for years, and now that she is close enough to touch, he has no intention of letting go.

Nor does the man who has begun to haunt Reena’s life – with taunting phone calls and a string of horrifying crimes. And as Reena tries desperately to trace the origins – of the calls, the fires, the hatred aimed in her direction – she will step into the worst inferno she has ever faced.
