Excerpt

🔥🔥🔥

“What?” he asked, all innocence. “I think I might need stitches.”

She finally looked down at his elbow. When he heard her little chuckle, he thought his heart might actually burst out of his chest.

𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡’𝑠 what was wrong.

He came to him so suddenly it almost floored him.

Wildfire hadn’t been laughing. At all. Not with him, not with anyone else. She was so lively and full of life that the absence of her laughter was completely foreign and unnatural.

He’d been going about this all the wrong way, thinking about their breakup from a purely selfish standpoint—why had she broken up with him? That wasn’t the question he needed to be asking at all.

𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑑 𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑑 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑝 𝑙𝑎𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔?

And even more importantly, how could he bring the laughter back?

He definitely couldn’t bring it up directly. He knew her well enough to know that. Whatever was going on he couldn’t force the details out of her. He was going to have to 𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑙𝑒 the details out of her.

Court her. Woo her. Make her understand there was nothing in this world she couldn’t trust him with.

PHOENIX

Adrenaline junky.

Adventure traveler.

Extreme sport sensation.

They’re all labels Riley Harrison—known to the world as Phoenix—wears as easily as the tattoos covering his body.

But it’s his role as undercover operative for Linear Tactical’s kidnap and ransom unit that makes his blood sing. Riley uses his celebrity status to help infiltrate locations and situations nobody else can get into.

In. Out. The fight is usually over before the bad guys know it’s begun or that Riley was involved.

But his skills and celebrity status won’t help when he discovers the woman he loves is keeping unbearable secrets and in a danger he never could’ve imagined.

She wants Riley to stay far away from her.

That’s not going to happen.

But he’ll have to be willing to lose everything to save her. To save them.

Phoenix will learn you have to burn before you can rise.
