Publisher's Summary

When Natalie Tyler arrives in Chicago to attend her cousin's wedding, she is just hoping to survive the week with her estranged family...and her ex-fiancé.

One week.

One uneventful week at the beautiful Hotel Jefferson is all she has to endure before she can return to her quiet life in Miami.

However, fate has other plans.

A split-second decision unknowingly puts her in the path of one of the city's wealthiest bachelors. And one of the deadliest. She finds herself thrust into a world she does not understand.

The world of Jaxon Pace.

Billionaire. Hotelier. Mafia boss. In an expansive underworld of crime, violence, and deceit, Jaxon is king. He is heartless, ruthless, and runs the city with an iron fist. Jaxon is used to getting what he wants, no matter the cost.

However, Natalie did not come to Chicago for love, and certainly not for an ungrateful, spoiled playboy with a god complex. But soon, she begins to wonder if there is more to this handsome and mysterious man than meets the eye?

Entangled in their fiery romance and a fleeting hope of happiness, Jaxon sets his sights on the beautiful and charismatic Natalie Tyler.

But his enemies have noticed Natalie too.

Can Jaxon win Natalie's heart before everything goes up in flames? Their passionate romance will take you on a heart pounding wild ride of suspense, mystery, and chemistry so explosive, it could set the whole city on fire!

This is book one of four in the Heart of the Inferno series.

Pulled Me In and Didn't Let Go!

This story pulled you in right from the start and never let go and I was upset when I had to stop it to do real-life things.😭 Maxine and Grayson have great chemistry and they really brought the story to life. I look forward to starting Ignite and continuing with this series

Great Start to Series

Book 1 of the series is full intrigue, action, great banter and ultimately a great connection between the characters. This is my first ever Grayson Owens book and his dynamic with Maxine is great . On to book 2 Ignite!

wow, why is this series not talked about.

Mafia romance whew boy who knew it could be like this.

I do not like relationships that happen this fast or a character knowing something and keeping it a secret and the other character finding out but the way Nicole Fanning told this story I was able to enjoy it and the big revelation at the end. Yes please I will continue. Maxien Mitchell and Grayson Owen's were amazing.

An Explosive Debut: Catalyst Ignites the Heart

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level: 🔥🔥
📚E-BOOK📚&🎧AUDIO🎧

As a newcomer to Nicole Fanning's writing, I stumbled upon "Catalyst" after catching a glimpse of the buzz surrounding the Heart of the Inferno series on TikTok. Let me tell you, I'm glad curiosity got the best of me because this book was an absolute delight! Narrated by the talented duo of Maxine Mitchell and Grayson Owens, every emotion was heightened, every moment electrified.

For the past two days, I've been utterly lost in this book, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Fanning's storytelling prowess delivered a rollercoaster of suspense, action, and yes, plenty of spice. From the first page to the last, "Catalyst" exceeded my expectations at every turn.

The chemistry between Natalie Tyler and Jaxon Pace crackled with intensity, drawing me deeper into their world of danger and desire. Natalie's journey from a reluctant visitor to a central figure in Jaxon's tumultuous life was a thrill to behold. And Jaxon? He's the epitome of a captivating anti-hero, a billionaire with a god complex, wrapped in mystery and danger.

But what truly sets "Catalyst" apart is its ability to balance heart-pounding action with tender moments of romance. Fanning weaves a narrative filled with plot twists, witty banter, and enough steam to fog up your reading glasses. As the first installment in the Heart of the Inferno series, it sets the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable saga.

If you're looking for a slow burn packed with action and emotion, "Catalyst" is the book for you. Just be prepared to lose yourself in a world where passion ignites, danger lurks around every corner, and true love may be the only thing capable of surviving the inferno. I can't wait to see where Fanning takes us next in this thrilling series!
