"A terrific debut book!"

This kick butt action adventure by debut author Virginia Kelly grabbed me from the very beginning until I couldn't stop reading this terrific book!

Mary Beth Williams was given an ultimatum or she'd never see her brother alive. All she has to do is come up with the ransom and take it to the terrorists who kidnapped her brother, Mark. She is told to tell no one or she and her brother would be hurt or killed.

She decides to go to Nicholas Romero because he'd dealt with the very terrorists who kidnapped her brother Mark. The one thing she can't tell him is that Mark knew Nick's cousin Daniel before he was murdered by those very same terrorists.

Nick doesn't want to help Mary Beth but he wants revenge against the very man who had Daniel killed and Mary Beth may be the one way to get to that man. He knows if he doesn't help her she'll find someone else; someone who may not have the scruples he has so he reluctantly decides to help her.

What Nick and Mary Beth don't count on are two factions looking for them but what for? All they can do is stay one step ahead of the factions and try to find what they are looking for. All of this togetherness is getting to them though. They can't fight their attraction forever.

For those fans, like me, who enjoy an adrenalin rushing fast paced romance, then this is definitely the book for you. I highly recommend it but make sure you have time for a one sitting read because that's what this one is!
