Her Hidden Fire

"Did you hit me with your car?"
Raybans bites his lip, glancing away from me, "Are you alright? Do you need help? Is there anything I can do?" Nice try, I saw right through that.
"Yes."
He leans in, eager to make up for hitting me. I somehow manage to keep a straight face while speaking, "Look where you're driving, nutjob."
He leans back again, irked with me.

Li was just trying to survive. Moving from place to place might have been a lonely existence, but at least she was alive.
Nick was on top of the world. He had money, fame, a great job and a perfect family. But it all came crashing down when his livelihood went up in flames, literally.
When Nick nearly runs over Li with his car, he wasn't expecting to find a hot mess underneath, a really hot, really messy one at that. She's a mystery wrapped in leather and wit, and he can't wait to unravel her.
But Li carries a dangerous secret, and when she runs into the handsome (like, millionaire model-worthy face) Nicholas, that secret threatens to come out. And when his work goes up in flames, it pokes its head out to play.
