Grace Walker Holden thought she had life figured out - until a deathbed promise shattered the illusion. Called back to her Oklahoma hometown to care for her estranged father, Grace inherits more than grief: a mysterious device, cryptic notes, and a warning that could cost her everything.

After her husband abandons her and a powerful energy corporation starts closing in, Grace is thrust into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. The deeper she digs into her father's invention - a groundbreaking method of harnessing geothermal energy - the more ruthless the opposition becomes. From sabotage to threats against her family, Caligula Energy will stop at nothing to seize control.

With the help of her first love, her fiercely loyal family, and a strength she never knew she had, Grace must unravel the truth behind her father's invention - while risking everything she holds dear. But as powerful forces close in, she's faced with an impossible question: can she save the world without sacrificing the people she loves most?

Read Excerpt

From the Humvee behind him, automatic grenade launchers were spitting hot and fiery. Explosions riddled the west bank. Trees flew in the air, elephant grass ignited, and the Tigris churned as if on a high boil. Ray was down to the last of his ammunition and was now firing tracer rounds from his hell belt. He could see them zip across the waterway, joining the immense firepower that shone brighter than the sinking sun.
