Embattled Brother (Beyond the Badge Series Book 4)

Becoming fire chief was the fulfillment of Lucas Matthews’ lifelong calling—a position forged through faith, sacrifice, and the guidance of his mentor, veteran firefighter Andy Garrett. But when Lucas accepts the chief’s role in his mentor’s hometown, celebration quickly gives way to resentment from a fellow firefighter who believes the promotion should have been his.

As division strains the fire department's brotherhood, a series of deliberate arson attacks begins terrorizing the city. Each fire is followed by a cryptic message aimed directly at Lucas, challenging his leadership, his courage, and the faith that anchors him under mounting pressure.

When the arsonist sets sights on a crowded high school basketball tournament, the danger escalates to catastrophic stakes. A shocking revelation soon exposes a betrayal from within—one that could destroy the department and the community it serves.

With lives hanging in the balance, Lucas and his fellow first responders must rely on faith, trust, and the unbreakable bond of brotherhood to confront a threat that could consume them all.
