Sun Storm

In Kelly’s action-packed, if far-fetched, first Gathering Storm romantic thriller, Dr. Marie Wilson, a brilliant scientist, and David Quinn, an ex–Special Forces soldier, run for their lives through a Montana blizzard to evade gunmen, a corrupt police force, and a businessman who’s willing to kill to ensure Marie’s new invention never sees the light of day. Marie comes to Montana to test whether her innovative solar panel will withstand the cold; she has no idea she’s about to become a hunted woman. David takes what he thinks is a simple job retrieving a stolen prototype for Public Domain Energy, but when he meets Marie, he realizes right away that she’s no thief. He breaks the contract and feels honor-bound to protect her from his former client. As they’re thrown together in the face of danger, sexual tension simmers between the pair. Though both the chase and the couple’s budding relationship escalate at an implausibly rapid pace, the nonstop action is sure to keep readers turning pages. (BookLife)
