Romance Suspense

Rachel Jessop is one of the few women working as an undercover operative for the private security company, Department 6. Rachel's personal background, with her father's fanatical self-made religion, makes her perfect for the company's next job. Unfortunately, it also puts her in direct contact with her supervisor, Nate Ferrentino, the man she made a complete fool of herself over a few months ago. He can still make her hot and bothered just by being in the same room, which is why she has been avoiding any contact with him. The new job is going to change all of that, but knowing Nate wants nothing to do with her will help the situation allowing Rachel to focus on the dangerous role she must play.

Nate Ferrentino has done all he can to avoid working with Rachel Jessop on Department 6's next assignment. Nick understanding that Rachel's knowledge and talent for undercover work is perfect for the job, but he doesn't have to like it. After his last relationship disaster, Nate plans on thinking twice before engaging in love, yet this assignment with Rachel is going to tempt him to allow his feelings for her to surface. Rachel is determined to take on the fanatical religious group with or without Nate's help, but he refuses to let her go alone. Nate and Rachel must find a way to work together, while resisting their feelings for each other, if they have any hope of being accepted into a very dangerous group. Easy.

WHITE HEAT is a fast-paced romantic thriller guaranteed to keep you entertained to the very last page. A great read!

SUMMARY

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....

Re: A fast-paced romantic thriller guaranteed to keep you on entranced to the climactic end.

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.
