Burn Rate

A scorching thriller that expertly balances steamy romance with corporate intrigue. - Kirkus Reviews

Morgan Delgado doesn't lose control. As the fleet director for the largest airline in the country, she commands hundreds of aircraft, manages chaos like clockwork, and survives on caffeine, grit, and reputation alone. Climbing the ladder in a male-dominated industry left no room for mistakes-or desires. Until a single night with veteran pilot Kieran O'Hara blows her armor to pieces.

Kieran is everything Morgan avoids: charming, commanding, and far too perceptive. He's logged more miles in the air than most people drive in a lifetime, but nothing prepares him for the storm that is Morgan Delgado. Their one-night stand was supposed to be just that-until fate puts them on the same high-stakes operation, and neither of them can walk away.

What begins as a tense workplace collision spirals into something darker, as she uncovers a corporate conspiracy prioritizing profit over safety. And the only person Morgan can trust is the last man she should be sleeping with.

In a world where pressure defines survival, their connection becomes a lifeline-and a liability. Kieran's past is a crash site of grief, bad habits, and near-misses he can't outrun, while Morgan's relentless pursuit of the truth may cost her everything: her career, her safety, and her heart.
