Publisher Description
Now available from New York Times bestselling author Jaci Burton!
It's supposed to be a fun, twisty survival game for action movie star Gina Bliss, a chance to showcase her talents on a reality show. She wants to prove she can do her own stunts, stand side by side with the guys and hang tough. And then she meets Derek Marks, not an actor and nothing like the men she's used to working with. He's strong and sexy and arousing her fantasies in ways she's never experienced. She could be down for a different kind of action with him…
…until real hell breaks loose.
Derek Marks has no use for a reality show and actors who can't do the hard work, but working on this survival type reality show is a paycheck, even if it's all fake. The only thing that isn't phony is Gina Bliss, who turns out to be a lot more than Derek ever imagined. She runs on adrenaline, is more than willing to take on any task, no matter how hard. She's beautiful, sassy, and smart, and more than a match for him in this dangerous jungle, where sometimes what you see right in front of you isn't real.
…and then the fake monsters turn out to be real.
Survival just took on a whole new meaning in this reality.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Veteran author Burton returns in fine form with this paranormal romance-adventure featuring tough, tenacious action movie star Gina Bliss. Needing a break from the Hollywood scene, Gina jumps at the chance to join a Survivor-like reality television show where the object of the game is to "kill" fictitious demons on an island using martial arts, outdoor adventure skills and high-tech laser weapons. The handpicked cast assembles on "Demon Island" and undergoes rigorous workouts at the behest of sexy, stubbled trainer Derek Marks, whom Gina spars with verbally and physically from the get-go. After filming the first episode, a violent attack claims two group members, and the cast's newbies learn that this isn't a game at all: they're the new recruits in a real-life battle between underworld demons (Sons of Darkness) and human good guys (the Realm of Light). Burton has an uncanny aptitude for intertwining the human and the paranormal so seamlessly that sudden demon attacks and labyrinthine underworlds are perfectly believable. Realistic dialogue, spicy bedroom scenes and a spitfire heroine make this one to pick up and savor.
