Firefighter Ivy Beria is trapped in an arson fire. She loses her job and plunges into an investigation of the man who almost cost her her life.
Flashover, a firefighter’s worst nightmare.
One moment too long in a smoldering room and firefighter Ivy Beria is trapped in an inferno. Her life is salvaged but she’s temporarily lost her career. Her plans go up in flames, igniting an anger she’s nursed since her sister’s horrifying accident.
The only person who stays by her side is her longtime friend Tim Canelli. Tim is everything she’s never wanted; shy, average looking, and a computer geek, but as Ivy is sucked into an investigation surrounding the fire that nearly killed her, Tim proves to be much more than just a friend.
The arson leads to the trail of a ruthless smuggler who has everything to lose and nothing to fear as he hunts her down with merciless determination. Will she discover the key that will save her life in time? Or will her world explode in a flashover that she won’t survive?
Excerpt
Jerked back into the present, she tried again to roll over. The space grew hotter with every passing second. She knew it, she could feel it, the junk all around her inching closer and closer to ignition.
It would be simultaneous.
And deadly.
Flashover.
Again she struggled to wriggle loose, to free herself from the enormous weight that smothered her. Pain coursed through her head and shoulder. Every miniscule movement caused the pile to shudder and close in around her, filling in the spaces like sand poured into a jar. It was no use. She didn’t have the strength. The burden was too much to bear.
Somewhere from the vicinity of her pocket, she heard a shrill alarm sound. The shriek cut through everything else, filling the space, making her ears pulse with pain. Then there was nothing but heat as she gave herself up to the blackness that enveloped her body and soul.
