Burn Slow

In the lawless shadow of Roanoke Ridge, Minnie Balfour is a name whispered with awe and fear. Once a child orphaned by violence and forged in fire, she now walks the thin line between legend and ghost; known only as the Revenant. But Minnie didn't ask to become a myth. She just wanted justice.

After a failed gang heist and the loss of the only man she called family, Minnie goes into hiding-until her past rides back into her life, wearing a familiar face and carrying a shotgun: Kol, a sharp-tongued French moonshiner with more secrets than scars. Once enemies, now reluctant allies, the two are bound by survival, drawn together by a slow-burning obsession neither can name.

As John-the man who destroyed everything-hunts them down, Minnie must decide if revenge is worth losing the pieces of herself she's only just begun to reclaim. Through fire, betrayal, and the fragile bonds of found family, Burn Slow is a story about love that refuses to be soft, ghosts that refuse to stay buried, and a woman who'd rather burn the world down than be forgotten by it
