Synopsis
Sophie has enough problems
in her life without Spencer turning her blood to fire, without his eyes
freezing and burning her, without his hatred of her. Since his migration into
the house next to hers, Sophia Valdez isn’t sure whether she wants to toss him
under a bus or kiss that smirking mouth of his. But even as the temperature
rises around them, leaping flames of passion, want and desire, everything
either has ever known will be shattered by the lurking shadow hounding their
every step, wanting revenge.
Spencer Rowth moves to the sleepy town of River Port with his mother and twelve year old sister, Suzy, to escape a deceitful father, an unfaithful girlfriend and a life crumbling much too fast for him to grapple onto only to be smacked upside the head by the last thing he wanted again. Sophie was everything he refused to want. Her temper, her wit, her laugh, her smile, the way her entire body goes up in flames under his hands are things he would rather slam a lid on and forget. Instead, he finds himself falling for the smart-mouth next door. But how long will he have before the evil chasing them catches up? How long before the very thing he never wanted becomes his only thread to sanity? And who is after them? What do they want and why do they want Spencer and Sophie dead?

Excerpt
“I won’t bite,” he said, probably
meaning it as a joke.
“Oh
if only that were my only problem,” she sighed under her breath.
“What?”
She
shook her head. “Nothing.”
She took his hand, slipping her icy fingers through
his. The electric sparks tore a fiery path down the length of her arms, nearly
melting the ice beneath their feet. She shivered involuntarily and felt his
fingers flex.
“All right?” Had his voice always been so husky?
She dampened her lips. “Yeah…” The single word died
in her throat as she was pulled towards him. Her heart tripped. Her lungs
stilled. The heat of his body rushed over her with the subtle scent peppermint,
leather, spices and smoke.
A soft mist blew around them. Raindrops glistened in
his hair, shimmering under the pale glow of the light post. His eyes were
shadowed beneath wispy fringes, but the silver in them glinted like pools of
liquid mercury. Her breath caught. It must have made a sound because his
fingers tightened. His shaky exhale caressed her flushed face.
“This,” he whispered so quietly she almost didn’t
hear him. “Is why you are so bad for me.”
