Ruthless killers. Deadly deceit. Fiery passion.

Veteran undercover PI Brock Emerson has one job—to keep chemical engineer Adelaide Reese from shutting down his client’s paper mill. But he had no idea how tempting the beautiful scientist would be. Or how much he’d want to protect her.

Set on proving pollution from the mill is poisoning the local town’s water supply, Adelaide is making powerful enemies. When angry mill employees stage a violent attack, Brock can’t help stepping in to save her.

Posing as a journalist, he wins her trust. When they accidentally witness the murder of the mill’s compliance officer, Adelaide and Brock find themselves squarely in the killer’s crosshairs. With the assassin closing in, they race through the back roads of the Piney Woods of East Texas, running for their lives as they unravel the deadly secrets hidden behind the walls of the paper mill.

As the puzzle pieces fall into place, Brock begins to question both his employer and his moral compass…and comes face-to-face with his worst demons. When the woman he’s falling for learns he’s been lying to her all along, he finds himself in a position he never imagined. Will doing his job cost him his integrity and his heart? Or will they both pay the ultimate price for crossing a master manipulator?

Burning Secrets is Book 2 in the Deadly Secrets Texas Trilogy. It is a standalone, enemies-to-lovers, small-town, romantic suspense story. All three books in the trilogy are standalone stories that can be read in any order.
