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
"You don't have to say it perfect. Just say it once."
- Kol
"You're not the ghost they say you are. Not to me."

They called her the Black Dahlia - a ghost, a myth, a merciless assassin raised by the Mexican cartel and vanished without a trace. But Eve'elynn Jones is no legend. She's flesh and blood. Vengeance and venom. And now that she's nineteen and free, she's back to burn every name that betrayed her - starting with her own family... and ending with the monster who made her.
What she didn't plan for was him.
Abel Jefferies Lanoun is thirty-two, ruthless, and born into the throne of the Italian mafia after his older brother was murdered in cold blood. Cold-hearted, sharp-eyed, and feared from New Orleans to Naples - he's a man who bends nations with a whisper. And right now, he's hunting the one person who could win his war against the Spanish - the elusive Black Dahlia.
But when he finds out the killer he's chasing is a dark-skinned siren with silver eyes and fire in her blood... everything changes.
She doesn't want him.
He doesn't trust her.
And neither of them realize that obsession is just another kind of war.
When power meets beauty, and vengeance meets control - the line between love and hate will bleed
