Peter was featured in a small role in the first book (warning Bastien and filling in as a spy during the arms dealer conference). On the boat, while waiting for Harry, she runs into his personal assistant Peter Jensen. She's not overly keen because she wants to be in Costa Rica, communing with the beautiful nature there, instead of downing an anxiety pill and stepping onto a yacht to get signatures from clients. She is visiting a Texas Billionaire, named Harry Van Dorn, on his yacht in the Caribbean in order to get papers signed for his charity trust. The book begins with Genevieve Spenser, a lawyer for the uber-wealthy and connected Manhattan law firm, doing one last errand for the firm before her Costa Rica vacation. The icicle motif continues, even though it doesn't quite make sense since most of the beginning action takes place in the Caribbean. The older paperback/e-book cover is below. You don't have to read the first book to follow along with the plot here, but it does add to the development of The Committee story line. Three of the characters reappear in this book from the first book and one new character is introduced. The setting for this is the Caribbean waters, England (Wiltshire and London) and America (New York and California.I think). The cover from the hardback and the new paperback are vastly different (but it looks like an updated eBook cover). This book also got a new cover but as of this moment I only have the older hardback and an e-book.

So far there is only three books in the Fire series and I'm impatiently waiting for the rest. The Ice Series is around seven books and the Fire series is an offshoot, set in Louisiana more or less. Cold As Ice is the second book in this series.
