What Did They Hide? (EBOOK)

She demolishes buildings for a living. He designs and builds them.
Some secrets are buried deep and they’re about to blow one wide open.

Every man in Ashley Carmody’s life has shattered her trust. Now, she works strictly solo. She’d rather risk her neck blowing things up than risk her heart on another man. When she’s hired to demolish a derelict Queensland wharf, she takes the job for one reason: she needs the cash to clear her late father’s crippling debts. No distractions. No complications.

Former Navy munitions expert Clayton Beckett is drowning in physical and emotional scars. Inheriting his uncle’s struggling construction company is his last shot at redemption, and building a luxury resort on the wharf site is his dream. But his project is plagued by sabotage and delays that threaten to sink his plans before they even start. The last thing he needs is a hostile demolition expert who is entirely allergic to his charm.

Forced to work side-by-side, Clay tells himself the white-hot friction between them is just professional frustration. He’s lying.

But when they’re abducted during a brutal attack on the site, they wake up chained together in a cold concrete bunker deep beneath the wharf. The deadly criminals behind the attack want the wharf's dark history buried for good—and they need Ashley to pull the trigger.

Forced to rig a massive explosion to bury decades of evidence, Ashley faces a devastating choice: detonate the charge and crush the only man she’s ever trusted under a mountain of concrete and ancient timber, or refuse and die beside him.

WHAT DID THEY HIDE? is a high-stakes romantic thriller featuring forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a slow-burn romance that detonates when it finally ignites. The second standalone book in the Firefly Series, it features crossover characters from Alpha Tactical Ops, Wolf Security, and Koolaroo Ranch. Perfect for readers who crave a heroine who starts fires, a hero who will walk into the flames for her, and a cold-case mystery with a jaw-dropping twist.
