What We Burn to Stay Free
A steamy, emotionally charged romantic thriller
By Tabitha Huff-Pfeifer
He was never part of the plan.
But now she can't walk away.
Even if it kills her.
Sable Grace is a trauma therapist sent to assess a reclusive ex-operative with a sealed file and a dangerous past. She expected resistance. She didn't expect Ronan Maddox-gritty, guarded, and magnetic in all the wrong ways.
Their connection is impossible.
Their chemistry? Unstoppable.
But when a woman long thought dead resurfaces with secrets they were never meant to uncover, Sable and Ronan are pulled into a deadly web of betrayal, surveillance, and buried truths.
Nowhere is safe.
And no one is coming to save them.
As the heat between them ignites and enemies close in, the question isn't how they'll survive-
It's what they'll have to burn to stay free.
Perfect for fans of slow-burn romantic suspense, found-family tension, and high-stakes thrillers with dark secrets, explosive chemistry, and twists that won't let you go.
