Claw And Cinder

"The most dangerous thing about a fire is not the flame. It's the moment you stop wanting to leave."

Nyx Delaney knows how devastating a fire can be. As the daughter of a powerful, corrupt fire chief, she has spent her life surrounded by smoke, mirrors, and toxic family secrets. But nothing prepares her for being trapped in a remote high-altitude fire lookout tower on Harrow Peak during a lethal Montana blizzard.

And nothing prepares her for Garrick Stone.

Garrick is a man fueled by a singular, burning desire: vengeance. He is a brilliant, ruthless arsonist dedicated to systematically destroying the corrupt network that ruined his life-a network heavily tied to Nyx's father. When the winter storm seals them inside the isolated tower, Nyx becomes his perfect leverage, trapped in a cage of wood and glass with a man who plays with fire for a living.

But in the suffocating quiet of the lookout tower, the boundaries between enemy and lover begin to melt. Garrick's possessive, hyper-focused attention turns into a dark, inescapable obsession, and Nyx finds herself drawn to the very monster she should fear. They are two damaged souls circling a shared truth, sparks flying in a room surrounded by an endless wall of white.

As the dark secrets of Carrion Valley are laid bare and the ghosts of their pasts close in, they must decide if their volatile connection will be their salvation-or the final spark that burns their worlds to ash.
