Twenty years ago, Ron's father died while rescuing a thirteen-year-old girl from a fire at Carlyle House. But the heroic deed was shadowed by rumors that he’d started that fire and a few more before it. Now, Ron receives new evidence that could restore his father’s honor and free himself from the past, and the one person who can confirm it is the girl his father had rescued. Unfortunately, the girl has become a beautiful temptress who is determined to make things very difficult for him.
Unaware of Ron’s true motive, Ashley joins forces with him in an effort to find her parents’ killers and free herself from the past. But the two soon find themselves fighting more than the foe hell-bent on silencing anyone who was at Carlyle House the night of the fire. Ashley never thought she'd ever date someone outside her race, yet the attraction between them is undeniable. With the body count on the rise and new revelations at every turn, it takes these two a near-death experience for them to realize that embracing their love, not the past, is the only thing that can ever set them free. read unedited excerpt and a surprise scene
