Pulse and Ice

Burning Evidence I’m supposed to prove he burned down his own restaurant. Falling for my prime suspect was never part of the investigation. Michael Hayes is everything I’ve been warned about. Older. Dangerous. Controlling. A devastatingly handsome bad boy with a criminal past and enough enemies to fill my suspect list. His multimillion-dollar restaurant goes up in flames days before opening. The evidence points straight at him. My job as a fire investigator should be simple: follow the evidence and prove Michael did it. Except the evidence starts lying. Crime-scene photos disappear. My tires get slashed. Someone breaks into my apartment. And every clue that should prove Michael guilty makes me wonder if someone is setting him up. Then the threats turn personal. Michael insists he can protect me. I insist I don’t need saving. I’m forced into close quarters with the man I’m supposed to be investigating. Keeping things professional becomes impossible. Especially when I discover the ruthless man everyone fears has one weakness. His teenage sister. And now somehow, me. Now my career is on the line. Someone wants me silenced, and the dangerous man I once believed was guilty may be the only person I can trust. Someone burned Michael’s future to the ground. Now they’re coming for me. And Michael Hayes will burn every rule he has left to keep me alive.
