Blaze And Breach

Vesper Calhoun has lived a life defined by wreckage, using arson to process the severe trauma of her mother's tragic death. Her calculated world of flames is disrupted when she lights a fire on a hillside and is unexpectedly caught by Judd Ravenscroft, a scarred former first responder who lives in a heavily fortified house above the Pacific Coast Highway. Instead of letting the arsonist vanish, the cold and ruthlessly controlled Judd traps Vesper inside his impenetrable fortress. As they are forced into intense proximity, the dynamic between the possessive captor and his captive becomes a volatile negotiation of control. Judd sees her fire as a breach that must be contained, while Vesper discovers that this dangerous man is the only thing more perilous than the flames. Bound by their respective pasts in a landscape defined by extreme heat, the boundaries between captor and captive collapse as they realize they share a desperate need to be seen by the one person who understands exactly how it feels to burn.
