Nevada Baylor is used to taking small-time cases—cheaters, scammers, petty criminals. Her magical ability to sense lies makes her a sharp investigator, but nothing prepares her for this job.
Hired to track down a dangerous fire-wielder bent on chaos, Nevada finds herself way out of her league. To survive, she must team up with Connor “Mad” Rogan, a combat mage with terrifying telekinetic power and a reputation for mass destruction. He is ruthless, reckless, and utterly uninterested in the law.
Their mission quickly becomes more than catching a fugitive. Dark forces are pulling strings, and the conspiracy could destroy Houston itself.
Nevada has always been able to tell truth from lies. What she cannot untangle is her growing attraction to a man who thrives in the shadows.
