Being a mercenary has made Sophia an expert at kicking butt, and her heritage has made her a professional at hiding in plain sight. Sophia is Fireborn, the supernatural community's public enemy number one. Fireborns have the ability to absorb magic-a gift that turns them into insane, power-hungry murderers.

After years on the run, Sophia and her sister have finally found a home for themselves and jobs at the Mercenary Guild. Killing monsters may be hard work, but she doesn't need magic to do it. And as long as she keeps her powers under wraps, they're safe.

When a super powerful, super sexy mage comes into her life with a job she can't refuse, all Sophia wants to do is run and hide. But she's sick of running. Too bad this job is connected to her in ways she never imagined. Not to mention Mr. Tall, Dark, and Trouble has picked up on the fact that she's not all she appears to be. And if he keeps digging, this job will be the least of her worries . . .
