I’ve officially broken ground on Fall From Grace, the second book in the Thomas Billings thriller series—and yes, I’m already feeling a little sorry for Thomas and Grace.
When we last saw them in Saving Grace, Thomas had just pulled off the impossible: rescuing Grace Washington, the First Daughter-elect, from a kidnapping that should never have happened in the first place. It was supposed to be over—mission complete, girl saved, credits roll.
But of course, nothing is ever really over.
This time around, the action shifts across the pond to London, England. Thomas and Grace are dragged back into the orbit of the powerful and the dangerous after an audience with the Queen—because apparently, neither of them has learned how to say no to trouble. The Establishment decides it’s time to reassert its authority, and from there, everything goes sideways fast.
There’ll be chases through the streets of London, betrayals in high places, and more than a few moments when Thomas (and maybe Grace) start wondering if the good guys are even still the good guys.
I can’t tell you how good it feels to be back with these two—writing their sharp dialogue, their uneasy trust, and that barely-contained storm that follows them wherever they go. Fall From Grace is already shaping up to be one hell of a ride.
If you haven’t met them yet, now’s the perfect time to start. Read Saving Grace here.
Have a great week!
