Misfire — Elizabeth Burgess

Retribution by fire.

Revenge. Murder. Sex. Lies. The Counterplay Series continues when Rachael and Graceanne are nearly killed by the malevolent O'Malleys and the younger Douglases rally together to help them. Invariably, Gregory Adams offers advice and assistance to his godchildren, and reaches a crossroads in his volatile and clandestine relationship with their mother, Arianne.

Rafe Gaudet reveals a startling truth to Millie Douglas that changes absolutely everything. While Millie grapples with the fallout, Jamie Caissy acts to prevent their joint secret from coming to light. As always, the O'Malleys are a step ahead, though, and will use any tools necessary to destroy Jamie and the family he holds dear.

The embers of deception have grown into a raging flame. No one is safe. No one can escape.

When you start a fire, be to windward of it. â€" The Art of War
