The first of bestselling author Cherry Adair's edgy, sexy Lodestone trilogy following an exhilarating adventure of two thrill-seeking brothers who are kidnapped in Venezuela alongside a beautiful stranger and must risk their lives to escape.
Extreme sports enthusiasts Zakary and Gideon Stark travel the globe in search of thrilling adventures, but a trip to Venezuela to jump off the world’s highest falls catapults them into a perilous game of life or death where they don’t know the rules.
Kidnapped with a beautiful woman Zak had previously spent the night with but knows nothing about, the three are held as prisoners deep in the jungle. Waiting for a ransom they know will never come, the brothers must make a risky, death-defying escape that ultimately separates them, with Gideon on his own and Zak with the woman. Though the escape nearly claims Zak’s life, his recovery reveals a baffling new sixth sense: visions of a string of numbers run through his mind like a news crawl, though the meaning of the numbers remain unknown.
Now, to find his missing brother, Zak and the mysterious Acadia Gray will have to out-smart, out-gun, and out-maneuver not just the brutal kidnappers, but also a new player who joins the adrenaline game: a ruthless opponent who wants the Stark brothers dead—at any cost.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sizzling chemistry adds to the heat of Bayou Cheniere, La., in Adair's knockout contemporary romantic thriller. Hit man Cruz Barcelona always looks out for number one and he doesn't kill anyone who doesn't deserve it. His current target, Amelia Wellington-Wentworth, a cosmetics billionaire gone (presumably) bad, is slated to be his last and perhaps his best. After all, a woman who supposedly allowed hundreds of Chinese children to slave in her factory clearly deserves to die. Amelia has gone into hiding, and when he finds her, she is definitely not what he'd anticipated. Their first meeting leaves sheets and pages scorching, and the fire just burns hotter as both characters develop into well-rounded and likeable people. When Cruz realizes he may be a pawn in someone else's game, he must decide whether to complete the contract or find out the truth before he and Amelia both become casualties of business. Fast-paced action and tidbits of humor pepper a compact plot wound tight with sexual tension.
