Thriller Psychological | Romance Suspense

Emily Greene has made quite a name for herself as a master of renaissance art restoration. She's also made a great deal of money doing something she loves. Emily's mentor has mysteriously died, and it's been ruled a suicide. Then Max Aries shows up; her mentor's son, a T-FLAC operative, the man who stole her heart a year earlier then vanished from her life.

Max discovers a dangerous and deadly web of intrigue had ensnared his father. He claims his father's death may have been murder. A frightening and deadly series of incidents are occurring. Emily doesn't want to trust Max again after what he did to her, but she must if she wants to stay alive.

Violence is escalating across the continent with mysterious deaths and bombings. Max and Emily put their lives on the line. T-FLAC is more than a job to Max; it's his life. It leaves nothing else for him to offer a woman. But this particular woman is different and special. Emily comes to realize that Max is the only man she will ever love. Their feelings for each other are put to the test as they race against time to stop an act of ultimate terror before it devastates the world.

In this latest T-FLAC romantic suspense adventure by Cherry Adair, we are brought to the edge of our seats by a heart-stopping, nail-biting, action-packed thriller. WHITE HEAT is jammed with enough mystery and intrigue to satisfy every suspense lover. It's also sizzlingly sexy with a hero and heroine who will make your heart race. I'm addicted to all the T-FLAC men I've met throughout the years and this latest one is no exception. Take this wild, fast-paced ride. You'll be glad you did.

SUMMARY

Professional art restorer Emily Greene is in no mood to see the devil-may-care Max Aries. She hasn’t forgotten – or forgiven – the way Max dropped into her life a year ago, stole her heart, then vanished without a word. Max hadn’t kept in touch with his father, Daniel, either. Daniel Aries had been a master of art restoration and reproduction, and not only Emily’s longtime mentor, but a trusted friend. His unexpected suicide devastates her. And when the prodigal playboy Max returns, her welcome is less than warm – even though his timely arrival in her bedroom saves her from a lethal intruder. But her fury gives way to fear when Max reveals that his father’s death was actually murder... and that Emily’s life is now in danger. Like it or not, to stay alive, Emily must put herself in Max’s hands. And once upon a time, that wasn’t such a bad place to be.

But what killer would target professional restorers of Renaissance artworks? Max suspects that a pencil sketch found in his father’s studio, inscribed with a cryptic code, may hold the key. His hunch is confirmed when intel from his control at the counterterrorist organization T-FLAC reveals that the Black Rose terror cell is involved – a chilling revelation that elevates the threat level almost as high as the tension that’s bristling between Max and Emily. Max isn’t about to take his eyes off Emily – though only partly for professional reasons – and even Emily’s rage over Max’s take-charge attitude can’t compare to her anger at herself for so long denying the truer, deeper feelings she has for him. As they crisscross Europe, piecing together the shocking clues to an insidious international plot, dodging increasingly lethal traps, and passionately making up for too much lost time, they realize that – in more ways than one – they can’t live without each other. With no chance of turning back, Max and Emily must put their lives on the line, put their true feelings to the test... and get ready to take the heat.
