One woman. Three names. No more hiding.

She was Isla Vale, the girl who vanished.
She became Emilia Roth, the artist they tried to break.
Now, reborn as Vivienne Fable, she’s not just surviving, she’s fighting back.

After the explosive finale of Painted in Heat, Emilia disappears into the shadows of Europe. But she’s not running. She’s reinventing, erasing every trace of her former lives and resurfacing as Vivienne Fable, a woman with a new name, a new body of work, and nothing left to lose.

Her art is fierce. Her name is on fire. And her enemies? They’re lining up to watch her fall.

At the center is Sylvie Kess, a ruthless art world powerbroker who claims to own Vivienne’s name, story, and very identity. When Vivienne launches a revenge campaign of radical art and righteous fury, from stolen pieces to public taggings, and global guerrilla performances, the lines between muse and monster, artist and arsonist, begin to blur.

Ryder Kane returns to her life with secrets of his own, ones that may destroy what’s left of the fragile trust between them. As betrayal cuts deeper, and Vivienne’s revolution explodes across the world stage, she’s forced to confront the truth:

They never wanted her art.
They wanted her silence.

But Vivienne Fable was never meant to be framed.

PAINTED IN HEAT 2: Ryder’s Revenge is a raw, erotic, emotionally charged storm of obsession, identity, and revenge, where survival is a canvas, desire is a weapon, and the most dangerous thing a woman can do is name herself.
