A heat wave hangs over the city...

Caroline Cooper is hot. And after dealing with other people's crises all day, she is frustrated. But throwing open her windows to catch the night breeze does little to solve her problems. Directly across the courtyard a man is sitting - as scantily clad as she - who inspires steamy and unsettling thoughts...

Driven onto his fire escpae by the sweltering heat, lawyer Brendan Carr is weaving fantasies, too - around gorgeous Caroline. Fantasies that continue to build as they watch each other night after burning night.

Will Caroline and Brendan dare cross the dangerous line between fantasy and reality?
