Burned — Natasha Deen

Two years ago, Josie Smith's life went up in smoke. Literally. Everyone and everything she ever loved burned in a fire -- one set by a crooked cop. To survive, Josie's been living under the radar as a homeless kid while trying to find a way to knock the cop down a few notches and put her on the other side of the prison bars. But time's running out. A pimp's got his eye on Josie, and if she doesn't get off the streets soon, she'll be the one brought down. Her salvation and the key to the cop's undoing seem to lie with a car thief and a rich kid. Trust and teamwork don't come easily to Josie -- in fact, they don't come at all -- but if she can't find a way to make the team work and find justice for her family, she will get burned all over again.
