In WHITE HOT, United States Navy Lt.
Commander Clint Wolf Walker is working for Naval
Intelligence. He has acquired top-secret plans for unmanned
underwater vehicles and the Chinese want it back. After a
failed attempt to get to an Alaskan Airport he tries one
last ditch effort to get away from his pursuers. He plans
to become a stowaway and picks tramp freighter 'Ile de
Coeur'.
Captain Samantha Richardson, is the freighter's captain.
It's her first command and even if her father is the
company owner, it could be her last if she fails to get the
cargo offloaded on time. Even though Clint gives her only
his naval identification, "some men are after me and want
to kill me" and "classified" as an explanation for stowing
away, she finds herself believing him. Not trusting him
because she doesn't have a lot of faith in men in general,
but she allows him to stay making him the first mate in
charge of security. Very quickly they find themselves in
each others arms.
Before they have time to digest the new found feeling for
each other the ship is boarded by 'pirates'. Clint knows
it's the Chinese and they have found him. With her crew
taken hostage, the two of them have to work together to try
to save them, keep each other safe and eliminate the enemy.
No problem for this former SEAL if he can just keep his
focus on the danger and not the woman. And no problem for
this ships captain whose whole career is on the line, but
finds she's worrying more about her new first mate.
WHITE HOT is such a fast paced exciting book that you cannot
stop turning the pages. The danger and intrigue makes you
catch your breath as do the moments the couple find to be
together. The story line and characters are well written
and believable with normal human flaws but the guts to step
up when necessary. Nina Bruhns has a winner with WHITE HOT.
U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Clint Walker is on the run
across the icy Alaskan Bering Sea. The Chinese operatives
tracking him will do anything to retrieve the stolen
military plans in Clint's possession--and kill him for their
trouble. Desperate to safeguard the documents, he stows
aboard a cargo ship--and comes face to face with the most
beautiful--and determined--ship's commander he's ever
encountered...
Captain Samantha Richardson won't let anything--or
anyone--stand in the way of her career...especially now with
her whole future riding on this latest run. Yet the sight of
her brash stowaway's enticing bedroom eyes and his hard,
muscular body has Sam fantasizing about indulging in a small
indiscretion, just this once. After all, Clint Walker is her
ideal man: hot, intriguing, and temporary.
But when Clint and Sam give in to their simmering passion,
they emerge to face an exploding danger that threatens to
put an all too permanent end to their growing feelings...and
their lives.
