Archer's lips curve into a faint smirk. "I don't need to figure you out. I already know your type."
"Oh, do you?" I step closer, challenging him. "Enlighten me."
His eyes darken as he leans down, his voice husky. "Reckless. Self-destructive. You'd run into flames just to prove you don't burn."
"And you're the hero who thinks he can save me?" I shoot back, fists clenching.
"No," he says evenly, his gaze boring into mine. "I'm the one who'll let you burn."

When you've hit rock bottom, there's nowhere to go but up...or so they say.
For Erin Carter, rock bottom looks like a past she can't escape and a future that seems impossible. Pulled from her prison sentence by a government agency, Erin's given the chance to prove she's more than her rocky past. But trust doesn't come easy, and neither does redemption- especially when her sharp tongue and fiery temper get her into trouble at every turn.
For Archer Hayes, failure isn't an option. As one of the agency's top operatives, his life revolves around order and precision- two things that go out the window when Erin is thrown into his world. With a shared history he'd rather forget and a mission that could destroy them both, Archer is forced to confront the one thing he can't control: her.
