Hot Shade (Burning Secrets #1)

Romance is the last thing on reporter Skylar Shaw's mind, and all she wants is to work hard and move on from her small-town newspaper job in Florida. A recent college graduate, Skylar's all alone in the world. Her family is dead, she's miles from where she grew up and she's struggling in her career. And she's sworn off men since breaking up with her abusive ex-boyfriend.

But when she meets a rich and mysterious Italian while covering a story, her carefully constructed plans for the future are blown to bits. Luca Rossi is gorgeous, funny and brilliant, and she's determined to uncover his secrets.

After a lonely year on the run from the Mafia, Luca will do anything to possess this vulnerable American beauty. Luca's got a dark past, though, and he's reluctant to share it with anyone -- much less a gorgeous woman who asks lots of questions.

Soon erotic nights will bleed into dangerous days, and nowhere will be safe from the heat.
