Luke Webber loves the life he has created in Alaska as a
bush pilot. It's a different adventure every day, some
good, some not so good. But when Isabella Kopas walks into
his life, it gets turned upside down. The old life he left
behind eight years ago comes flooding back into existence.
Isabella works for Marcus Fie, a dealer in antiquities. She
is an expert in her field and has lived and worked with
Marcus for six years. He is like the father figure she
never had. On the night of his birthday, he gives her a
necklace to wear to the party. She does not have time to
research it, only time to adorn herself with the exquisite
piece of jewelry.
As the birthday party in Boston turns into a kidnapping and
takeover by Marcus' right-hand man, Isabella barely escapes
with her life. It seems the necklace is the focus of the
coup and she needs answers fast. She makes her way to
Alaska searching for Luke Webber, aka Adam Fie, who happens
to be Marcus' son.
A fast-paced journey ensues in which Isabella and Luke
travel by plane, boat and on foot through the wilderness of
Alaska to escape Marcus' henchmen who've been sent to bring
her, Luke and the necklace back to Boston. Isabella does
not believe Marcus is capable of such, but Luke has no
doubts that he is.
Isabella is determined to show Luke that his father is a
good man. He is not sure that he can trust her, but she
needs Luke and is resolute to prove herself to him. In this
battle of wills, Luke and Isabella find they have strong
feelings for each other. Will they ever be able to act on
those feelings? As their journey returns them to Boston to
settle the account, Luke learns things are not as he
perceived them to be when he took off eight years ago.
Isabella finds things are not as she perceives them in the
present.
Stephanie Rowe has woven a fast-paced tale of
adventure, suspense, and romance in her latest novel,
CHILL, that crosses the country in search of answers. This
is a real page-turner you just cannot put down.
Luke Webber thinks he’s erased his entire history. New
name, new life, no paper trail. He thinks that up in the
wilds of Alaska no one will find him. He’s wrong.
A WOMAN WITH NO FUTURE
When Isabella shows up on his doorstep, she’s got a bullet
in her shoulder and all that Luke’s been trying to avoid
is hot on her trail. Without his help, she’ll die. But
helping her will mean surrendering everything—his body,
his heart...and quite possibly his life.
I like the sound of this book. Fast-paced suspense with a wilderness twist is a favorite. I'll be looking for this one. (Patricia Barraclough 10:38pm March 3, 2010)
