A dangerous cult has recently taken over the desert ghost town of Paradise, Arizona. Members worship at the feet—and in the bed—of its charismatic leader, Ethan Wycliff, and obey his orders blindly. They've already tried to murder one woman and they're implicated in the disappearance of another.
Nate Ferrentino, who works for private security contractor Department 6, has been assigned to infiltrate this group. It's a challenge he welcomes—until he learns that colleague Rachel Jessop will be going undercover with him. Thanks to their shared history, he'd much rather go alone….
The problem is, only married couples can participate in cult rituals. So, like it or not—and they don't—Rachel and Nate must pretend to be husband and wife.
There's no choice. Because if Wycliff isn't exposed, if he isn't stopped, more people will die. And Rachel might be one of them.
My thoughts
Nate and Rachel work for a private security firm and are hired to find out what happened to a woman who disappeared while part of a religious sect in Arizona. This cult is run by Ethan Wycliff who has his sexual sights on Rachel once he meets her. Rachel and Nate have their own sexual tension.
As the story unfolds we learn that Ethan and his Spiritual Guides are truly dangerous and Rachel and Nate are not the only ones in danger.
Although White Heat is categorized as a romantic suspense, the romance doesn’t take over the story, but it is bursting with suspense. Brenda Novak has written a dynamic tale of control, doubt and sex that I can easily see being read on the beach everywhere this summer. The climax was a little too quick for me, but an enjoyable read overall.
