Temperature Rising

Washington, D.C., 1988. Rutgers law student and environmental activist Anna Freeman thinks she's running a routine errand to retrieve a videotape on energy policy. Instead, she stumbles upon a secret meeting that reveals a coordinated effort by powerful fossil-fuel interests to suppress climate research and manipulate government policy before the public can learn the truth.Drawn into the very world she has spent years opposing, Anna is recruited to work undercover by The New York Times. Her assignment takes her inside the organization at the center of the conspiracy, where gaining access means earning the trust of the very people she is investigating. But Anna is no seasoned spy, and her growing attraction to Coy makes getting close to the enemy all the more complicated.The deeper Anna goes, the harder it becomes to know whom she can trust-and how far those protecting the secret will go to keep it buried. As the threats turn personal, Anna must decide how much she is willing to risk to expose the truth. With her career, her friends, her family, and her own life on the line, can she expose the conspiracy before it's too late? Some secrets are worth billions, and others are worth killing for.Temperature Rising is a fast-paced thriller of conspiracy, suspense, and unexpected romance. Perfect for readers of Matthew Quirk's The Night Agent and Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny's State of Terror, it explores what happens when truth collides with power-and the devastating cost of doing what's right.
