THE QUIET LEDGER

She buried her old life under a new name. He's the one person in town who won't stop digging.
Nora Calder — real name Elena Voss — has spent three years becoming nobody in particular: the woman who keeps the books for half the shops on Main Street, feeds the stray cats behind the diner, and never, ever talks about her life before Larkspur Hollow. She had to disappear after she found the falsified accounts that would have sent her former employer's real-estate empire — and the men bankrolling it — to prison. She testified. She was promised protection. The protection didn't hold.
Now someone in Larkspur Hollow is asking questions that only a very specific, very dangerous kind of person would know to ask.
Fire Marshal Caleb Reyes moved home to slow down, not to fall for the town's most guarded woman. But when a warehouse fire turns out to be arson — and the accelerant pattern matches a case file from three states away — Caleb realizes the quiet bookkeeper next door might be the key to it, and the target of it. He's spent his career reading what fire leaves behind. He's never had to protect what's standing right in front of him.
As the fires get closer to home and Elena's careful new life burns down around her, she and Caleb have to decide how much truth they can survive — about the conspiracy hunting her, and about each other. With a ticking clock, a leak they can't identify, and a killer running out of patience, trust may be the only accelerant either of them can afford.
A fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense with a slow-burn emotional core and a fully resolved happily-ever-after.
