Temperature Rising

A deadly secret. A dangerous game. How far will she go to expose the truth?

Anna Freeman never expected a routine errand to change everything. But when the ambitious law student and environmental activist retrieves a harmless videotape on energy policy, she unknowingly steps into the heart of a ruthless conspiracy. Powerful lobbyists, corrupt politicians, and billion-dollar interests will do whatever it takes to keep their secrets buried-and now, Anna is in their crosshairs.

Before she realizes it, she's pulled deep into the very system she once despised, embraced and seduced by those orchestrating the cover-up. They think she's one of them. But Anna has other plans. Working undercover for The New York Times, she's determined to expose the truth-no matter the cost. The only problem-she falls in love with the industry's most trusted lobbyist.

With every step she takes, the danger intensifies. Lies mount. The deeper she infiltrates, the harder it becomes to save herself and her friends from the ultimate outcome. When the threats turn personal, Anna faces an impossible choice: Will she risk everything-her career, her relationships, her friendships, even her life-to bring the truth to light? Or will she be silenced before she has the chance?

Temperature Rising is an electrifying political thriller packed with pulse-pounding suspense, forbidden romance, and high-stakes deception. As Anna races against time, one thing becomes clear-some secrets are worth killing for.
