СКАЧАТЬ

      THERE’S A FINE LINE

      As an emergency paramedic, Lauren Boyer is dedicated and highly capable. Until an earthquake strikes, trapping her beneath the freeway with a group of strangers—including Iraq war veteran Garrett Wright…

      BETWEEN PERIL AND PASSION

      Handsome and take-charge Garrett aids Lauren in her rescue efforts, even as the steely look in his eyes seems to hide dark secrets. When a gang of escaped convicts goes on the attack, Garrett’s bravery makes him more than a courageous bystander to Lauren. If they can save the others before time runs out, maybe, just maybe, they can explore the fire igniting between them—if the truth about who he really is doesn’t pull them apart forever….

      Selected Praise for

      “Carnal scenes that wouldn’t be out of place in Penthouse Forum litter the pages. Sorenson makes her characters realistic, flawed, and appealing. Deftly handled violent action and red herrings rush this thriller to a believable ending.”

      —Publishers Weekly on The Edge of Night

      “Taut with emotion, suspense and danger. Sorenson expertly weaves the two stories into a heart-wrenching conclusion.”

      —RT Book Reviews on The Edge of Night

      “One of the best books of the year…nonstop, heart-pounding excitement.”

      —RT Book Reviews on Stranded with Her Ex, Top Pick! 4.5 stars

      “(A) high-tension romantic thriller...culminating in a page-turning climax. Despite the mystery, the real tension comes from the emotional relationships, full of explosive sex and terrible secrets.”

      —Publishers Weekly on Crash into Me

      “It was definitely hot. Sooo hot. Jill Sorenson is my new favorite romantic-suspense author!”
