The Burning House

From New York Times bestselling author Sharon Sala, beloved for her emotionally charged, heart-pounding novels of suspense, comes a powerful story of survival, identity, and the healing force of love.

Twenty years ago, tragedy ripped Johnny Bolt’s world apart. A brutal random attack, a burning house, and the loss of his twin brother left him adrift—living under another boy’s name, haunted by nightmares he couldn’t explain. Now grown, known to the world as Boss, he’s built a solitary life offshore, carrying scars both visible and hidden. But when a chance encounter on the oil rig unlocks memories buried deep, his past comes rushing back—and with it, the truth about who he really is.

With Maya, the woman who has been his anchor and refuge, Boss returns to Kentucky to uncover long-buried secrets, confront the man who destroyed his family, and reclaim the life that was stolen from him. But facing the past means more than finding justice. It means discovering that love—steadfast, healing, and fearless—can fill even the deepest wounds.
