For twenty-something Ransley, the adopted daughter of famed street fighter Estevan Benitez, fighting is all she knows. One hidden detail separates her from the endless string of her pathetic opponents: she can craft and influence heat and fire. When she’s pitted against the strongest fighters at the infamous Argolla, Ransley faces something she never expected:A man like her. Roydon can duplicate himself. When the two collide in the ring, a chain of deals turns Roydon over to Public Four and he’s taken away to undergo the disturbing process of the Nexis. What it is, or what it does, no one outside of The Public knows.

Now she must trust a pair of strangers: a former military man out to collapse the system, and a woman whose premonitions could tear them all apart. less
