"Wildfire: A Hidden Legacy Novel (Hidden Legacy, 3)" by Ilona Andrews

https://www.amazon.com/Wildfire-Hidden-Legacy-Ilona-Andrews/dp/0062289276/

Book number three of a six book and one novella paranormal romance
fantasy series. I reread the well printed and well bound MMPB published
by Avon in 2017 that I bought new from Amazon. I have the other three
books and the novella in the series and will reread those soon.

Totally cool series for me. This makes the fourth series that I have
read from Ilona Andrews, a husband and wife writing team based here in
Texas. The Innkeeper, Kate Daniels, and The Edge are the other series
of books. They are now starting a couple of new series of books.

The Hidden Legacy Universe is a complex place. The Osiris serum that
induced magical powers in humans was released to the general public in
1863 and the world was never the same. The serum was banned after a
while but the world was irreparably changed. Families starting breeding children for strength in magical powers with breathtaking results. Magic
users are segregated into five ranks: Minor, Average, Notable,
Significant, and Prime. The Prime families operate mostly outside the
law since they are so powerful and incredibly dangerous.

Nevada Baylor runs a very small detective agency in Houston, Texas ( ! )
that usually works on scammers and divorce cases. She is a 25 year old
hidden Prime Truthseeker, she can unerringly tell lies from truths and
can force people to emit truths. In fact, she can burn a persons brain
if she wants to. Her mother and father started the detective agency but
there is a huge mortgage to a Prime Family that funded the effort to try
to save her father from cancer. The effort failed and left them with a
huge mortgage when Nevada was 17.

Connor "Mad" Rogan is a Prime Telekinetic and a noted combat veteran,
famous and feared for leveling a village in the Mexican-Belize war using
only his powers. He is a billionaire with a private army and wants
Nevada Baylor very badly. So badly that he bought all of the property
around the Baylor household in a one mile radius so he can protect
Nevada and her family.

Nevada and Connor's first meeting was when he kidnapped her and chained
her to the floor in his house basement. Things have gotten better since
then. Mostly. Now that Nevada is filing to create her own house, she
is being listed as a Prime too. So is her middle sister Catalina, a
siren. And her youngest sister is a literal monster with an well known reputation. But, several people want to stop the creation of the House
of Baylor, including her very estranged grandmother that Nevada has
never met.
