Frost and Fire

When lifestyle influencer Lila Hart collapses during a livestream, millions watch her final moments without realizing they are witnessing a murder.

Detective Koda Frost follows the evidence toward an obsessive fan whose devotion has crossed every reasonable boundary. But Lila's carefully managed public life conceals financial deception, damaged relationships, and people who depend on her keeping their secrets.

Behavioral analyst Embers Aris believes the investigation needs more than a digital trail. Frost resents her methods almost as much as he respects her conclusions. As they uncover what Lila intended to expose, their uneasy partnership becomes harder to keep strictly professional.

Both understand the distance between a public identity and a private life. Neither is ready to explain why.

Solving Lila's murder will mean understanding whom she trusted, whom she hurt, and what changed when she finally decided to tell the truth. But among the files she left behind is a message that reaches beyond her death-and someone who expects Frost and Embers to keep looking.
