ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 13, 2026

I was hired to save lives.
Instead, I helped build a weapon.

When I uncover the truth, I steal the evidence and run—straight into a war. A powerful syndicate wants me silenced, and every escape becomes another trap.

That’s when Remy Pascal finds me.

Code name: Nitro.
Explosives expert. Cerberus enforcer. Pure control wrapped in danger.

He handles fire for a living and looks at me like he’s already claimed me. I don’t trust him. I shouldn’t want him. But every time the world detonates, he’s the one pulling me out, steady hands, dark commands, unbreakable focus.

Someone is hunting us. Someone who knows his past and how to destroy him.

As we run from city to city, pretending to be lovers turns into something real. His touch lingers. His control tightens. And when the heat finally ignites, it’s consuming, possessive, and impossible to resist.

They want my invention.
They want my silence.
They want me dead.

Nitro wants me alive.

And if I give him everything, I may not survive the fire but I won’t face it alone.
