White Heat. A Novel

Never have the stakes been higher. Never have two people faced greater risks or grappled with deeper desire. Never has Cherry Adair-award-winning author of Hot Ice-burned the pages with so much blazing action and blistering passion. Professional art restorer Emily Greene is in no mood to see the devil-may-care Max Aries. She hasn't forgotten-or forgiven-the way Max dropped into her life a year ago, stole her heart, then vanished without a word.
Max hadn't kept in touch with his father, Daniel, either. Daniel Aries had been a master of art restoration and reproduction, and not only Emily's longtime mentor, but a trusted friend. His unexpected suicide devastates her. And when the prodigal playboy Max returns, her welcome is less than warm-even though his timely arrival in her bedroom saves her from a lethal intruder. But her fury gives way to fear when Max reveals that his father's death was actually murder .
