Series background & context
This page narrows the focus from the full Tough Justice serial to Carol Ericson's contributions, Burned and Ambushed. That matters because the larger project is multi-author, and some readers want to track only the Ericson-written entries.
Her episodes land in the heart of Lara Grant's crisis, after the undercover past she thought she had buried comes roaring back. By this point in the serial, the pressure is already intense. Lara is exposed, the Moretti connection is active again, and nobody is quite sure who can be trusted.
Ericson's strengths fit the format well. She writes quick-moving danger, emotional strain, and characters who have to keep functioning while everything around them gets worse. So even inside a shared serial, her episodes carry the same sharp, readable momentum as her standalone Intrigues.
If you are here specifically for Carol Ericson, this page gives you the cleaner path through that larger project.
