The rain had turned to a light drizzle, mist swirling in the amber glow of the streetlights as Olivia Hale stood at the edge of the smoldering ruins.
The scent of charred wood and metal filled the air, mingling with the damp earth beneath her boots. This wasn’t just another fire. This one had been deliberate, meticulous in its execution. Someone was out there, setting these historic buildings ablaze with a pattern too intentional to ignore.
Olivia ran a hand through her soaked hair, frustration simmering beneath her calm exterior. She’d been an arson investigator long enough to know that a serial arsonist rarely stayed in the shadows for long. The first fire had been a small one in a vacant warehouse, easily dismissed as an accident. The second had been a high-end restaurant, then a library, and now this.
Matilde Oliveira, a South American spitfire with a heart of gold and a drill bit for a tongue, juggles assisting at the local dentist's office with a burgeoning career as a romance novelist. Her short stories, filled with more cavities than a teenage sugar rush, explore the sweet and sometimes tooth-achingly painful world of love, romance and South American passion.
