Basha Argeneau hides in the heat of southern California, running from her estranged immortal family. She prefers exile to confronting the past that haunts her steps. Marcus Notte arrives with orders from Lucian Argeneau to bring her back for questioning. The dark immortal takes his mission seriously, even though Basha's reputation for chaos precedes her. She refuses to cooperate with the mind-reading vampire who wants to drag her home. Marcus won't accept no for an answer, but Basha has other plans. She'll make him work for every step if he thinks he can capture her. The blonde immortal matches his determination with her own stubborn will. Fire meets fire as two powerful vampires clash over her fate. Their battle of wills heats up the already scorching landscape around them.
