First loves only lead to broken hearts. That's what Tori Bianchi has been telling herself for two decades. That and she doesn't have the time for love, what with running part of her family's organized crime syndicate as the brutal and ruthless crimeboss, Torch, and leaping over rooftops as the self-appointed vigilante superhero, Firebolt. But when she makes a mistake on a run that starts the entire criminal underworld gunning for her, she must reluctantly face the only man who she ever trusted.

Once burned, twice shy. Eric Harris knows he made an unforgivable choice twenty years ago. A more superstitious man might suspect that's where it all started to go wrong for him and his family. He'd give anything to make things right with Tori, but all he can do is stand between her and danger, even when she makes it clear that it's the last place she wants him to be.

Buried embers burn the hottest. Keeping their distance isn't doing anything to tamp down the rekindled flames between these former lovers. With their lives and the lives of those they care about on the line, not to mention the survival of the lalassu as a whole, they can't ignore the sparks. Will the flames transform their feelings into steel or burn them to ash?

Find out in this thrilling conclusion to the Lalassu series!
