Ghosts Of Fire
Danger lurks in the shadows...
Graphic designer Rachel Calloway is devastated when her father’s restaurant is destroyed by an arsonist. Just when she thinks the situation can’t possibly get worse, her father is charged with the unspeakable crime. Rachel knows he’s innocent and she’ll do anything to prove it. Little does she know how soon her loyalty will be tested when she crosses paths with Nicholas Hunter, the notoriously ruthless attorney prosecuting her father’s case…
Nick Hunter is thirsty for justice, a man made cynical by the horrors he experienced early in life. He believes in the absolute guilt of each criminal he prosecutes, and shows mercy to none…until he encounters Rachel Calloway, the first woman ever to make him question his convictions. From the moment they meet, a forbidden attraction sizzles between them that neither can ignore.
But danger lurks in the shadows and clings to the fog that drifts in from the Eastern Shore. A stranger lies in the darkness, watching and waiting. Suddenly nothing in Rachel’s world is as it seems, and it isn’t long before she finds herself in the biggest fight for her heart…and her life.

"Marlton County Maryland - Present day. When Rachel Calloway's mother died, her father was devastated. The only thing that pulled him out of a deep depression was the idea to open a restaurant using the recipes handed down through his wife's family. But after six successful years, everything comes crashing down around them when Calloway's burns to the ground. The only thing more shocking than the loss of the restaurant is the arrest of Robert Callaway for arson and a possible insurance scam. Nicholas Hunter is a man whose traumatic childhood left him with a driving need to put the bad guys away where they can't hurt the innocent..."
