When Sayre Lynch returns to her Louisiana hometown after her younger brother's apparent suicide, she finds herself entangled in a dangerous web of deceit and corruption. Her tyrannical father and older brother, who control the town's iron foundry, have hired a cunning new lawyer, Beck Merchant, who harbors his own secrets. As the police reveal that Danny's death was actually a homicide, Sayre must navigate her complicated feelings for Beck while confronting long-buried family secrets and a shocking plan for revenge. /n/n Sandra Brown's 'White Hot' is a masterful blend of suspense and passion, set against the backdrop of a small southern town where old hatreds simmer and new alliances are forged.
