Light My Fire
by Jane Graves

HE WAS TOO HOT TO HANDLE . . .

Defense attorney Ethan Millner is paid handsomely for his ability to charm a jury while ruthlessly slashing the prosecution. He's living life in the fast lane, until he's slapped with a reckless driving charge and sentenced to forty hours of community service on a crime watch patrol. Now he's under the thumb of the chairman of the city's crime watch council—a beautiful but no-nonsense woman determined to make him pay his debt to society.

. . . SHE COULDN'T RESIST THE HEAT

Sandy DeMarco is familiar with Ethan's cutthroat character in the courtroom, as well as his notorious "bad boy" reputation with women. Still, when Sandy's quiet neighborhood is shaken by a brutal murder and an employee of hers becomes the prime suspect, she knows the accused's only hope is the man who will win at any cost. Working alongside Sandy, Ethan begins to feel sparks of attraction that ignite into love—even as a killer burns to silence those who threaten to uncover his secrets..



Jane Graves' Bio

When Jane was five, her parents told her the book she'd written, Padre the Mexican Mouse, was a literary masterpiece. When she found out later that she'd named her dashing young mouse hero "Father" and that rodents really didn't have nationalities, she was crushed.

Later, Jane earned a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Oklahoma in the sequence of Professional Writing, but several years passed before she pursued publication. About that time, a friend handed her five romance novels from her keeper shelf, and a few days later after reading them all, she was hooked!

In 1999, Jane was a finalist for Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award, which led to her first sale to Harlequin Duets. Several more sales followed shortly after that, and now this award-winning author writes single- title contemporary romances for Ballantine/Ivy, as well as series romance for Harlequin Temptation under the name Jane Sullivan. She lives in a the Dallas area with her husband, her teenage daughter, and a beautiful but brainless cat who keeps her company while she's hard at work on her next book.
