Kiera's a fiery bartender hustling to escape her dead-end town, but Jace "King" Malone-tattooed, street-racing bad boy with a filthy mouth and a body made for sin-won't let her run from their scorching chemistry. He's danger on wheels; she's the good girl who hates his guts. But when their hate explodes into raw, dirty passion, will Kiera fight him or burn for him? Characters: Kiera Evans (22): A badass bartender with curves that kill and a mouth that cuts. She's saving for college, dodging creeps, and swearing off guys like Jace. Rocks tight jeans and a "don't fuck with me" attitude. Jace "King" Malone (25): The town's hottest outlaw. Inked-up, rides a black Mustang, and lives for speed and sex. His cocky grin and dirty promises make girls weak, but Kiera's his toughest challenge. Tony (minor, 40s): Kiera's sleazy bar boss. Cares more about cash than the drama in his dive bar, The Rusty Nail.
