MEET THE DETECTIVES
With his square jaw and light South African lilt, Detective Orion Tanzy is considered quite the catch in Darlington. But Orion is devoted to his wife Pip. She’s had her struggles, but together they’re raising their two beautiful young children. Orion studied forensic science at university, and after joining the force moved up the ranks to join Max as a detective inspector. The dream of working in forensics may have faded, but Orion still watches Silent Witness and wonders how his career could have been.

Detective Max Byrd joined the police force as soon as he turned eighteen. His father was an army man, but he encouraged a reluctant Max to try the police instead. Twenty-three years later, he’s not once regretted the decision. A love of takeaways means Max doesn’t have the same washboard stomach as Orion, but an even greater love of five-a-side football — and his new partner Claire — keep him in good nick.

THE SETTING
Darlington, in the far north-east of England, is a small market town where everyone knows everyone. It’s a proper northern town with a proud industrial heritage thanks to the old wool manufacturing industry. The bustling centre is the heart of the town, with the river Tees running around the outskirts, and, while it’s a busy little place during the day, at night, there are plenty of dark, quiet alleyways you’d do well to stay away from.

Ignited

Ten years ago, they saved each other’s lives.
Then she disappeared.
But fate has brought them back together…

Boomer, explosives and weapons expert, is fine with his life as an Outlaw Ridge operative: illegal missions, daring rescues, and blowing stuff up. But when a woman from his distant past shows up, it all threatens to come crashing down.

Karisma, a white tiger shifter, waited a decade to get revenge on the sorcerer who once kept her in a cage. But now that she has, his mercenary soldiers will stop at nothing to track her down. She needs help—and she doesn’t have many friends. Make that none—after years in captivity, she trusts no one.

Boomer is the only person who ever helped her and asked for nothing in return. But when she finds him, she realizes she hadn’t counted on how much he’s changed—or the way she’d feel when she saw him again.

Karisma doesn’t know if she can trust Boomer to help her—and he doesn’t know why he feels compelled to try. But fate has brought them together one last time—and if they can’t break down the walls around their hearts and stand together against their enemies, it could spell disaster…
