Cold Enough To Lie

She came to investigate a deadly fire. Now she's trapped with the man who may have started it.

Mara Voss is one of Great Basin Mutual's most determined fire investigators. When she's sent to the remote mountain town of Garnet Falls, she expects a routine assignment.

Instead, she finds missing evidence, mysterious boot prints, and an avalanche forecaster with too many secrets.

Jace Rourke knows the mountains better than anyone. He's also the prime suspect in a fire that should never have happened.

Mara doesn't trust him.

Then the worst blizzard in a decade hits.

Stranded inside a freezing motel with a failing generator, Mara and Jace are forced into an uneasy alliance. Outside, the storm makes escape impossible. Inside, every new discovery suggests someone deliberately set the fire to destroy evidence.

And the person responsible may still be trapped in the building with them.

As Mara uncovers a conspiracy connected to her own family's troubled past, she finds herself drawn to the one man she should fear.

Jace knows more than he's admitting.

But when the temperature plunges and their enemies close in, Mara must decide whether to trust the man who sleeps outside her door to keep her safe.

Because the fire was only the beginning.

And some secrets are worth killing for—even in the dead of winter.
