WHITE HEAT is a fast-paced romantic thriller guaranteed to
keep you entertained to the very last page. A great read!
A religious cult has moved into what was once a ghost
town--Paradise, Arizona. And their actions are cause for
concern. One woman who escaped from the compound was nearly
stoned to death. Another has gone missing altogether.
Private security contractor Nate Ferrentino is given the
assignment of infiltrating the group. It's a challenge he
welcomes...until he learns that Rachel Jessop, one of his
colleagues at Department 6, has been chosen to accompany
him. Nate's attracted to Rachel but because of their
history, he prefers to keep his distance.
Problem is, they have to pretend to be married. Only couples
can participate in certain rituals, which Nate and Rachel
need to do if they're going to pierce the veil of secrecy.
But when they find proof that cult leader Ethan Wycliff is
as twisted as they feared, they know they have to set aside
their differences...or Ethan might take more lives. Maybe
even theirs....
White Heat was my favorite of this trilogy. I was totally engrossed in the story of the cult, and what Rachel and Nate were willing and able to do to join. (Sandi Shilhanek 8:37am September 17, 2010)
