Escaping your demons? Easier said than done, especially when yours revels in the swelter. Picture this: a fire demon inside you, not just any fire demon, but one that thrives in blistering heat. That's my daily battle. So, why live in a frying pan? I chose the icy calm of Alaska to keep my fiery companion on ice. Until now.Grandma's gone, and her last wish drags me back to Maxxan, Texas-my own personal inferno. Each scorching day is a fight to cage the beast within. I'm counting the seconds until I can flee this heatwave, back to my arctic sanctuary. But plans have a way of going up in flames.Enter a SIA agent, as sizzling as the Texan sun, gunning to enlist me in his vampire eradication squad. He thinks I'll stay for the hunt; he doesn't know my vampire-slaying days are long behind me, a childhood memory at five.The heat's on, my inner demon's stirring, and Maxxan's secrets are starting to simmer. Welcome to my firestorm. Welcome to Texas.
