Excerpt:

Ava's POV

“Is this some kind of setup? Because I don’t appreciate you screwing around on my job.” Karson shot a quick glance over his shoulder before turning back to look at me. He stepped forward, towering over me with his large frame.
His scent touched my nose, spicy and masculine. But he was too close. I stepped back.
Something in his expression shifted. Softened, but only a tad. “Tell me what the fuck is going on, and cut the scared rabbit look. You know I’m not going to hurt you.”
I knew no such thing.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about—”
“The trancing out and muttering about burning. Ring any bells? Are you trying to get me killed?” Eyes locked on mine, he took another step toward me, crowding me.
At least now he was talking about something I knew about. But the whole Venator thing? Screwing around on his job? Trying to get him killed? Very slowly, I repeated myself. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
He cursed under his breath. “You’re lying.”
I didn’t answer, but I didn’t look down, either. And I didn’t step back again. Miriam would have been proud. Or petrified for me.
He stepped back this time, and his lips curved into a slight grin. “You’re a tough one.”
“Damn straight,” I managed.
His grin widened into an all-out smile, and the world around us brightened.
My breath hitched, but not from fear this time. Just the small change in his expression made him more man than monster.
“Just—just tell your friend to watch out for himself,” I said. A wimpy-ass warning, but did I really know anything else that would be helpful? What could I say? Tell your buddy that if he knows anyone who likes to burn people alive, that he shouldn’t trust the pyro? Yeah, that would totally be helpful. “And to stay away from neon signs.”
I expected him to roll his eyes or laugh at my warning; it was such a weird thing to say. But his gaze rolled over me in a very obvious appraisal, and when he finally got back to my eyes, I gave him my best glare. After years of pushing people away from me, I’d gotten good at the whole steer-clear glare.
“Keep your secrets, girl. But stay away from my job.” With a final lingering glance at me, he turned and headed the direction Thomas had taken.
He moved quickly, but with purpose, like some sort of jungle cat on the hunt. The man didn’t walk. He stalked.
Thank God he’d gone the bullying route. With a smile like that and enough testosterone to kill a horse, he could have charmed the truth out of me.
