About BLAZE ERUPTING:
From New York Times bestselling author, Rebecca Zanetti, comes a new Scorpius Syndrome/A Brigade Novella…
Hugh Johnson is nobody’s hero, and the idea of being in the limelight makes him want to growl. He takes care of his brothers, does his job, and enjoys a mellow evening hanging with his hound dog and watching the sports channel. So when sweet and sexy Ellie Smithers from his college chemistry class asks him to save millions of people from a nuclear meltdown, he doggedly steps forward while telling himself that the world hasn’t changed and he can go back to his relaxing life. One look at Ellie and excitement doesn’t seem so bad.
Eleanor Smithers knows that the Scorpius bacteria has and will change life as we know it, but that’s a concern for another day. She’s been hand-picked as the computer guru for The Brigade, which is the USA’s first line of defense against all things Scorpius, including homegrown terrorists who’ve just been waiting for a chance to strike. Their target is a nuclear power plant in the east, and the only person who can help her is Hugh, the sexy, laconic, dangerous man she had a crush on so long ago.
Excerpt:Aches and pains—the yummy kind—ran through Ellie’s body as she exited the motel bathroom in the morning and stopped short at seeing what was left of the bed. The covers were all on the floor, and even the mattress looked cockeyed.
What a marathon of an evening.
She swallowed. Hugh had gone with
Connor to brief the new security team, leaving her lounging in bed
after a truly phenomenal night.
The rumors, although awesome, hadn’t
given Hugh enough credit. He was amazing in bed.
Or maybe her big crush on him helped.
She pushed wet hair off her shoulder
and smoothed down her faded jeans. The air had turned cold enough she
was comfortable in her light blue sweater. Her phone dinged, and she
tore her gaze away from the demolished bed. “Smithers,” she
answered.
“You alone?” Deke asked without
preamble.
“Yes.” Striding quickly, she
reached her laptop next to the computer and flipped it open, easing
back to perch at the end of the bed. “What’s up?”
Deke cleared his throat. “The intel
came in on Hugh. He’s not one of the good guys, Eleanor.”
She snorted and inhaled the scent still
left in the room from Hugh. Masculine and tough. “He’s beyond
good.” In more ways than one, actually. “You’re being silly.”
Was Deke being overprotective? How loud had they been last night? Had
Connor somehow heard something from the next room? She bit her lip.
Had she screamed at one point? Geez. “Give me a break, Deke.”
“I’m sending you the intel. Call me
after you’ve read it.” He clicked off.
Well. She huffed and rolled her eyes,
quickly opening an attachment from him. Documents, dossiers, and FBI
investigational files quickly filled her screen.
She read them, her stomach beginning to
hurt. “This isn’t right.”
A knock on the door nearly stopped her
heart. “Who is it?”
“Connor.”
She stood and quickly unlocked the door
for him, moving back to her computer instantly.
He slipped inside and leaned back
against the door, his dark eyes somber. “I finished at the plant
and left Hugh to continue briefing the new security details. Told him
I’d be back after grabbing more coffee. Did you read the
information from Deke?”
“Not all of it. I’m about halfway
through.” She didn’t believe this. Not at all.
Connor rubbed a hand across his eyes.
“Let me fill you in. Hugh’s family had financial troubles with
what had been very successful tire stores, and Gregor bailed out his
brothers. That put Hugh in a world of hurt.”
If there was a way to get to Hugh, it’d
be through family. She shook her head anyway. “I don’t believe
this.”
“Believe it,” Connor said grimly.
“Hugh had no choice but to work with Gregor. Fed the guy
information on nuclear plants, vulnerabilities, and hot targets.
There was a hell of a lot more than just one picture of them
together. He really was being investigated by the FBI.” His lips
pressed into a thin white line as he took in the status of the bed.
“Shit, Ellie. You didn’t.”
REVIEW: Really liked this second chance romance between Hugh and Ellie. They've known each other forever but never crossed the line into romance before. One really wanted to and the other did too but was afraid they'd ruin what they had. Fast forward 10 years. (WHY is always so long??? I want them to realize what they should have tried for like in a year or two, not 10 lol)
This was a hot, spicy read with saving the world aspects. Now that they've reunited, nothing is going to stop them from seeing what they could have together. Throw in bombs, destruction, gun fights, etc...and you're right up my alley.
I can't wait to read about the secondary characters!
