Aislinn Campbell, the latest in a long line of flame-haired, clairvoyant, first-born daughters, is trying to enjoy her company’s Fourth of July party. As she stares into the festive bonfire, though, she’s plagued by visions of her boss’s death. She thought she was through with men since escaping her ex more than a year ago, yet sexy, ex-military millionaire Kyle Turner III has found his way into her fantasies. But if he finds out who sent him an anonymous warning—and why—he probably won’t touch her with a ten-foot pole.

Before the night is out, he intends to prove to her she has nothing to fear from him—or her bastard of an ex, who has chosen this night to vent possessive rage on the woman Kyle would defend with his life.
