Scorched

A small town, a cold case, and a killer who doesn't want the truth uncovered.

Jack Calloway always dreamed of becoming a firefighter. Now, he's found home in the small town of Keeneston where single women 'accidently' get stuck in trees, baked goods are brought to the fire station, and everyone is treated like family. But even happy families can have a dark side.

Rayne Carlin knows what it means to survive. The hardships she's endured have made her stronger, smarter, and determined to help others find justice. As a true crime podcaster specializing in unsolved murders and cold cases, she travels from small town to small town digging up secrets some people would rather keep buried.

Then an email brings her to Keeneston to investigate a nearly twenty-year-old cold case. But the deeper Rayne digs, the more disturbing the truth becomes. In a town where everyone knows everyone, anyone could be hiding a deadly secret. And now, the killer knows she's looking.

When Jack and Rayne team up to uncover the truth, sparks fly as quickly as the danger closing in around them. But with a killer determined to keep the past buried, their growing attraction could make them both targets. Can a small-town firefighter and a fearless true crime podcaster solve the cold case before the killer leaves them scorched?
