Fog City Flame

Priya Sharma has the steadiest hands in the whole foggy Avenues - and for the longest time, nobody notices, because steady hands don't make any noise.

She's the quiet one. The good one. The middle child in a family that crossed an ocean from Punjab with a single dream stitched into every long day at their little restaurant: doctor. Not a trade. Not coveralls and a toolbox and other people's broken pipes.

But Priya was born calm - and there is one thing in this loud world she was built for: fire. Gas lines and pilot lights and the dangerous blue work that can take a house down if a shaking hand gets it wrong. When a loud girl named Jordan hands her a torch, Priya finds the one place she is never too quiet - and the one crew that loves exactly what she can do.

She just has to keep it secret from the mother who gave up everything for her. Until the night the gas doesn't wait, and a girl who could never speak up has to find her voice - out loud - before the whole thing goes up in flames.

The second novel in the Fog City Fixers series: a warm, fierce, impossible-to-put-down story about quiet strength, found family, and the courage to say, out loud, exactly who you are.
