Stryker Wills is dedicated to hunting down Phoebe Milan, a
vile assassin who uses pyrokinetic abilities to kill, just
like she killed his partner and friend. However, Phoebe
shares her body with her sister, Melanie, and ice-wielding
Melanie wants nothing more than for Phoebe to be stopped.
Stryker's organization, ACRO, think that Pheobe and Melanie
are the same person, parts of some sort of multiple
personality disorder, but the truth is much stranger than
that. Stryker has to decide whether or not to trust Melanie,
to talk to ACRO officials about the intimate details of how
Phoebe/Melanie recharge their powers, and how much credence
to put in a long-gone friend's prophecy.
Fascinating
storyline, sizzling scenes, and excellent character
development make TAKEN BY FIRE an amazing book. Readers will
be eager for more from Sydney Croft.
HIS MISSION WAS TO DESTROY HER. BUT DESIRE GOT IN THE WAY.
A product of genetic manipulation, Melanie Milan shares a
body with her malevolent sister, Phoebe. A sleek, blond
predator with a heart of pure darkness, Phoebe puts their
body through the wicked underbelly of sex for thrills-when
she's not igniting her pyrokinetic skills for an evil
organization bent on taking over the world. Melanie rarely
gets out to play-much less fall in love. But that changes
when rival ACRO agent Stryker Wills shows up, with a mission
to terminate the woman who torched his partner. An operative
with rare abilities, Stryker soon realizes that the woman
he's about to kill isn't the murderous fire starter he's
been hunting. But he does want her. Melanie, with the power
to ice anything in her path, is heating things up in ways
that are setting fire to his blood. As long as Melanie stays
in control, she is his best ally to bring down her sister
and stop hellish havoc from being unleashed. Walking a
tightrope of longing and hate, Stryker and Melanie begin to
understand that true power lies in sweet surrender to each
other, to the flames between them, to the erotic adventure
that's joined their hearts and abilities to become their
salvation-and perhaps the world's.
