Book II

She tried to send him away to protect him. He refused to be protected from her.

GW Canyon's quiet life in Colorado collides with Tali Gold — heir to a family fortune, three moves ahead of every room she enters, and carrying a past her family spent decades making sure she'd never speak of. As their courtship deepens, a wider conspiracy is closing in around both of them: a man who has spent years buying his way into the machinery of government, a Vice President who has simply vanished, and a domestic-terrorism plot built to frame an innocent woman for a crime that hasn't happened yet.

Tali's brother Tom has run her like an asset her entire life, and he isn't finished. When his reach extends into the relationship she's finally let herself want, Tali tries to do what she's always done — disappear before the damage spreads, send the people she loves somewhere safer than near her. GW refuses to go.

Fiery is a thriller about a country's institutions being quietly remade from the inside, and a love story about a woman convinced she was built wrong learning that the man across the table already saw everything and chose her anyway.

Fiery is a standalone novel and the second charm in the GW Canyon Series. No prior book required — though readers who started with TwinStar will recognize exactly how far the bracelet has traveled.
