Due to an anonymous tip, Mirah races to a volcano to be the first one to claim a new discovery. She thinks she's alone until Farron mysteriously appears. Part of her distrusts him and his motives while another part of her gravitates toward his obvious virility. She craves him even though she feels he's hiding something from her. She tries to keep her claim on the site, not to mention her sanity, but he won't stay at arm's length. What she doesn't know is that it doesn't do any good to fight the destined fire that wants to engulf them both.

Rebecca's had a horrible marriage. Though the divorce isn't finalized, she has put as much distance as possible between her husband and herself. She's forlornly alone but safe. As she spends yet another night in her grandparents' old farmhouse, strange unexplainable things begin to happen. Has Charles tracked her down or is it some unknown intruder setting her up? And what are these whispers that she's now hearing? Are they real or in her mind? While she tries to sort everything out as it happens, she has no idea how much is at stake. Not only is her life in jeopardy, but she may very well lose her heart and soul. But that is exactly what might have to happen for her to give in to The Dance.
