Sedona Snow was kidnapped and kept sedated in a waking
dreamstate by the unscrupulous Dr. Blankenship until she
was able to escape the catacombs using her distinct ability
to open paranormal gateways. During that escape, she had to
confront the fact that she's also acquired a talent for
fire. Since multi-talents are extremely rare, and usually
quite unstable, Sedona's life has taken an eerie turn.
When Sedona, and her dust bunny sidekick Lyle, finally
emerge from the Underworld, her first destination is the
home she shares with Brock Prescott, her Marriage of
Convenience husband. However, Sedona is astounded to learn
that Brock divorced her shortly after she went missing and
has a new housemate.
Leaving her unhappy past behind, Sedona flees to Shadow Bay
on Rainshadow Island, a place where misfits such as she are
welcomed and embraced. She finally feels at home and in the
past month, she's become the new manager of Knox's Resort &
Tavern, where she meets Cyrus Jones. Cyrus, often referred
to as Dead Zone Jones for his unique talent, is boss of the
newly formed Rainshadow Ghost-Hunters Guild. The Rainshadow
Foundation, controlled by the Sebastian family, has brought
in the Guild to help neutralize the chaotic powers let
loose after recent storms exposed a maze of ancient tunnels
on the island, and to provide security for the hordes of
thrill seekers who've arrived eager to explore Rainshadow's
Underworld.
Cyrus is instantly attracted to Sedona and takes a keen
interest in her welfare, especially when her ex makes an
unexpected appearance on the island. Cyrus knows all about
Sedona's past, the families who disowned her years ago and
her talent as a gatekeeper. He came to Rainshadow with a
precise agenda, but once he gets close to Sedona, things
become more complicated. He's involved deeper than he
could've ever imagine. Nothing is more important than
protecting Sedona and the island, but will he be able to do
so?
Jayne Ann Krentz, writing as Jayne Castle,
gives her multitude of fans another wonderfully witty,
futuristic-set romantic suspense with the incredibly
exciting THE HOT ZONE. The diverse assortment of characters
are realistic and blend seamlessly with the vividly
intriguing plotline. THE HOT ZONE is a superb addition to
the brilliant Rainshadow/Harmony/Arcane series. Whether
writing as Jayne Castle (futuristic), Jayne Ann
Krentz (current-day) or Amanda Quick
(historical), this highly talented author never disappoints
readers. I am always looking forward to her next novel.
The world of Harmony has its wonders, one of them being
Rainshadow Island. Just beneath its surface, a maze of
catacombs hides a dangerous secret…
Halloween—with its tricks and treats—is a dust bunny’s
dream come true. Just ask Lyle, Sedona Snow’s faithful
sidekick. But for Sedona, it’s a nightmare. Though her new
job managing a small hotel and tavern on Rainshadow is
helping her move on from her tragic past, a bizarre
disaster down in the catacombs has brought a pack of rowdy
ghost hunters to her inn.
And now, Sedona’s ex has arrived on the island, claiming he
wants to get back together, just as a newcomer appears to
have a strong interest in her. Cyrus Jones is the new Guild
boss in town. He has his own agenda when it comes to
Sedona, but even the best-laid plans are no match for the
passion that springs up on Rainshadow…
