But when a murder case forces them into a dangerous partnership, every glance sizzles, every argument draws them closer, and every touch threatens to cross the line between duty and desire.In the heat of the Nevada desert, danger stalks them at every turn. But the most reckless risk of all might be the one they take with each other.Because when justice and passion collide...someone's bound to surrender.
