White Heat

The last person on earth that art restorer Emily Greene wants to see is the devil-may-care Max Aries. She hasn't forgotten (or forgiven) the way Max dropped into her life a year ago, stole her heart, then vanished without a word. But the prodigal playboy returns with shocking news: His father's recent death was no suicide, but in fact murder and Emily's life is also in danger. Intel from Max's control at the counterterrorist organization T-FLAC reveals that the Black Rose terror cell is involved: a chilling revelation that elevates the threat level almost as high as the sexual tension bristling between Max and Emily. Max isn't about to take his eyes off her, though only partly for professional reasons, and Emily finds it increasingly difficult to deny her feelings for him. Crisscrossing Europe and piecing together tantalizing clues to a sinister plot, Max and Emily must put their lives on the line and still be ready when the heat between them flares white hot.
