Even a dry heat can burn...
After a traumatizing home invasion, Sarah Coleman keeps the outside world at bay. Her house in the Phoenix suburbs becomes her fortress, a stucco barrier between her and all that would harm her. She's thrown the deadbolt shut, she thinks, forever.
But when the thieves return, a dead body and an unlikely companion thrust Sarah into the desert sun she wants so desperately to avoid. With blood on her hands and nowhere to hide, she must venture into the heat for a chance at survival—and maybe even redemption.
