by Linda Jones and Linda Howard

Book Overview

USA Today Bestseller

Danger brings together two guarded hearts in a battle for survival in this irresistible story from New York Times bestselling authors Linda Howard and Linda Jones.

Sela Gordon, the shy owner of a Tennessee general store, finds safety in solitude. But if anyone can pierce her protective shell it's the handsome, mysterious ex-military man living alone in the wilds of Cove Mountain. For two years, he's kept his distance--until the day he appears to warn her that a catastrophic solar storm capable of taking down the power grid is coming. Now, Sela must find the courage to become the leader Wears Valley needs.

Bitter experience has taught Ben Jernigan it's best to look out for number one. For two years the former soldier has lived in a self-imposed exile, using a top-notch security system to keep people away. But he had to let Sela know about the impending threat--and now the quiet and undeniably sexy woman is making it too easy for him to lower his guard.

As panic spreads, Sela and Ben discover that in the dark, cut off from the outside world, there's no more playing it safe--in life or in love.

Customer Reviews

Excellent story by one of the best storytellers in the "romantic suspense" genre

This is a great story that brings together two very different people (they have been observing/admiring one another from a distance). A catastrophe impacts the region of the USA where these two people live. The catastrophe reveals dangers for the residents that they have never contemplated . The lack of any preparation on the part of the great majority of residents is uncovered quickly as dangerous and sometimes violent behaviors start to surface. How the two lead characters cope with their personal situations makes for a great story. (And a little romance only makes it better!)

Suspenseful Romance

This book had it all; suspenseful thriller science fiction (not to far off current possibilities), with plenty of steamy romance and family relations.
