"Exciting sensual combat in the bayou!"

Flame Johnson is hunting a missing girl in the bayous when she runs into a little problem by the name of Gator. Gator has family still living in the bayou, but he was sent to bring Flame back to Lily Whitney. Lily's father Dr. Whitney did gene manipulation on Flame when she was a child. Now Lily is afraid that Flame is going to have a reoccurance of the cancer she has as a child.

Gator is one of the Ghost Walkers. A group of military men that Dr. Whitney also did gene manipulation on. Both have super strength, eye sight and few other inhancements that can help or kill, depending on how they are used. An it is not always easy to control these powers. One of Flames is fire, hence the name.

Flame escaped from Dr. Whitney's lab and she has no intention of ever going back. Gator tells her he is dead, but Flame isn't buying the story that Dr. Whitney is dead. She just can't believe it.

The attraction between Gator and Flame is hot and getting hotter with every encounter. Flame has a theory about that also. She thinks the good doctor set up the meetings between the men and girls he did gene work on. An that could lead to some very interesting complications. Toss in Gator's brothers and his Grandmother and you have the makings of a really interesting story.
