Chain Reaction

Artist Mia Kearney has the perfect life: a successful career, a home she loves, amazing friends…until the hot August morning her world explodes. Lone survivor of a nuclear accident, Mia awakens in a government facility, faced with Homeland Security agent Nicholas Price, a man who wants answers she knows she doesn't have.

When Mia escapes, Nick has a choice to make. The CIA wants him off the case, but instinct tells him not to let Mia out of his sight.

Now the web of deceit that's woven tightly around them is about to unravel, and someone out there won't be satisfied until Cedar Branch's last surviving resident is dead.…

When Cedar Branch, Idaho, is devastated by what is purported to be a nuclear transportation accident, Mia, the lone survivor, finds herself secured for mysterious reasons by the CIA. When Nicholas Price from Homeland Security is abruptly pulled off the case, he springs Mia, and they go off on an "unsupported" investigation of their own, which ultimately leads to the highest levels of government and a secret bioterror weapons-development facility. While Mia copes with her grief over the deaths of her friends, she learns of Nick's suffering over his sister, and the two fall hard for each other. With nonstop action interspersed with a slow unveiling of clues and great sex scenes, debut romance author Davis has created a wonderful genre-blend of thriller, suspense, and sexual tension. Readers will hope for more from this talented newcomer. Mary K. Chelton
