Meet Staci Allen

Available October 2nd in digital, print, and audiobook (narrated by Nicol Zanzarella and Greg Tremblay).

The first reviews are posting at Goodreads and BookBub and I'm thrilled with what readers are saying!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Compelling, fast-paced, and intelligent romantic suspense. Completely captivated by the well-developed characters, robust plot, emotional depth, and exciting suspense. This is a thought-provoking popular fiction with true elements, along with fascinating, timely and important content about the real dangers and damage associated with pseudoarchaeology and the insidious spread of disinformation.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Once again I have been blown away by Rachel Grant's magnificent storytelling. The amount of detail and information, plus strong characters, had me hooked from the first chapter right through to the last. The way she weaves in historical fact, suspense and intrigue, along with the romance is just brilliant. An absolute masterclass. I couldn't put it down. Excellent read.

An archaeologist risks everything to stop a disinformation podcaster from using his influence to incite violence in the latest thrilling installment in USA Today Bestselling author Rachel Grant’s Evidence: Under Fire series.

Staci Allen has finally landed the job that will help her finish her dissertation, but it comes with a major hitch: her new boss is a famous pseudoarchaeology podcaster, and she intends to use the upcoming Pacific Northwest expedition to debunk his theories and end his grift. But first, she has a pre-wedding celebration to attend, where she crosses paths with Navy SEAL Jake Burns—a huge fan of the podcaster.

Jake might be on her team in the paintball war, but he’s definitely the enemy. She can enjoy his pretty face and even the dangerous attraction he triggers with his cocky attitude, but when the weekend-long party is over, she will step into a world that places them firmly on opposite sides.

The job proves to be more dangerous than Staci prepared for. Surrounded by a hostile expedition team and trapped on a private island with a podcaster who will do anything to convince his followers his fake history is real, she remains determined to see the job through. Still, nothing prepares her for coming face-to-face with the SEAL she’s trying to forget. As the only man who could infiltrate the team, he could be her unasked-for backup. But the question remains, whose side is Jake really on?

Jake Burns, the hero of FALSE FLAG, knows how to make an impression... It's not his fault he said the worst thing possible the first time he met Staci. Well, maybe it was a little...or a lot. But now he has a chance to change her opinion of him, for better or for worse. Jake and Staci took me on an emotional rollercoaster in the best kind of way. They are so fun on the page together and I can't wait to share them with readers, something I am one giant step closer to now that the book is...
