About This Book
In the world Nicole Fanning has built across this series, power is never truly won — only borrowed. Flash Point drops readers into the aftermath of a near-coup, a marriage forged under fire, and a betrayal so close to home it rewires everything Jaxon Pace thought he knew. With enemies closing in from every direction — a resurrected psychopath, a rogue federal agent, and secrets buried inside his own organization — the stakes here aren't just survival. They're about whether a man who controls an empire can protect the people he loves when the ground keeps shifting beneath him.
What distinguishes this installment is Fanning's command of tension and pacing across nearly five hundred pages that rarely let you settle. She layers psychological pressure alongside the physical danger, so the emotional weight compounds chapter by chapter rather than simply escalating through action. Readers who have followed this series will find the payoffs here feel genuinely earned, and newcomers will quickly understand why the characters inspire such fierce investment. The prose is propulsive without being thin — this is historical crime fiction that takes its world seriously.
