Sophie Summerfield Rose, reporter for the Illinois
Chronicle, is assigned a story on William Harrington,
an egotistical runner who has won 20 5K races. William
disappears into thin air while Sophie waits for him at the
finish line. Sophie's problems escalate when a foot and
part of a leg is found in Alaska with her business card
tucked into the sock. She is now the hunted, believing her
father, Bobby Rose, is at the bottom of her threats. Viewed
as a modern-day Robin Hood, Bobby is always being sought by
the FBI in questioning.
Sophie's good friend Regan is married to an FBI agent who
sets off the hunt and chase for Sophie by assigning FBI
Agent Jack MacAlister as her bodyguard. Jack and Sophie,
both stubborn and headstrong individuals, clash with
sarcasm while at the same time feeling a huge sexual
attraction. From Chicago to Alaska, Jack pushes his
abilities to the limit keeping Sophie alive as they strive
to expose the sinister conspiracy in Alaska. Jack now has a
bigger investment in Sophie.
FIRE AND ICE is fast-paced, riddled with excitement and
thrills. The story is well-written with clearly defined
characters and a thrilling plot. There are a number of
characters to keep track of, but interesting all the way
through.
Sophie Rose is a crime reporter at a major Chicago newspaper
and the daughter of Bobby Rose, a charming gentleman and
big-time thief. When asked to write an exposé about
her notorious father, Sophie quits and goes to work at a
small newspaper, covering local personalities such as
William Harrington, the 5K runner whose trademark is red
socks. Those socks—with Sophie's business card tucked
inside—are practically all that's found after Harrington is
killed near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, seemingly in a brutal polar
bear attack.
Sophie heads north to investigate, but
danger follows in her wake. After one attempt on her life,
she's assigned brash but sexy Jack MacAlister as a
bodyguard. But Sophie and Jack will soon be fighting more
than their growing passion for each other. Powerful forces
will stop at nothing to prevent the exposure of the sinister
conspiracy Sophie and Jack are about to uncover.
