Thriller | Romance Suspense

Chloe Underwood is a children's book translator living in Paris, the most exciting city in the world, but she's bored. She wanted something more than going into the medical field, which is what everyone in her family chose for a career. Making her way to Paris, she never regretted the roots she pulled, but she wants something more exciting than trying a new French recipe. When Chloe is offered the opportunity to do some translating while staying at an isolated chateau, she goes, especially since she can use the money and thinks maybe she might meet someone exciting. Exciting is one way you might describe the so-called business men, as it turns out she's translating for a group of arms dealers. To top off this crime, another explosive crime of passion happens and sparks fly when she meets Bastien Toussaint. Bastien saves Chloe's life, but danger is everywhere, and both Chloe and Bastien are on the run. Chloe can't figure out who the good guys are because Bastien is keeping them a moving target. What she can't understand is the motive behind his every move. Passion, high stakes and seduction are the name of the game. As deadly as a hand grenade in the wrong hands, but as enticing as any Frenchman, BLACK ICE is sure to be on the bestselling list. Anne Stuart has penned another award- winning romance.

SUMMARY

Living paycheck to paycheck in Paris, American book translator Chloe Underwood would give anything for some excitement and passion--even a little danger. So when she's offered a lucrative weekend gig translating at a business conference in a remote chateau, she jumps at the chance to shake things up. Then by chance Chloe discovers her employers are anything but the entrepreneurs they appear, and suddenly she knows far too much. Her clients are illegal arms dealers, and one of them is ordered to kill her. BZut instead, Bastien Toussaint drags Chloe away, and the next thing she knows she's on the run with the most terrifying and seductive man she's ever met. What were his motives -- and could she live long enough to find out?
