SCORCHED is a blazing hot conflagration of art thieves, powerful families, warring sisters, sizzling romance—and especially, in Tyler Zahn, a hero with heart and soul. Hollywood should take notice: Torrens's thriller would make an awesome TV series. ...more

His detail to crafting a story in a setting one c ...more
