About BLAZE ERUPTING:
From New York Times bestselling author, Rebecca Zanetti, comes a new Scorpius Syndrome/A Brigade Novella…
Hugh Johnson is nobody’s hero, and the idea of being in the limelight makes him want to growl. He takes care of his brothers, does his job, and enjoys a mellow evening hanging with his hound dog and watching the sports channel. So when sweet and sexy Ellie Smithers from his college chemistry class asks him to save millions of people from a nuclear meltdown, he doggedly steps forward while telling himself that the world hasn’t changed and he can go back to his relaxing life. One look at Ellie and excitement doesn’t seem so bad.
Eleanor Smithers knows that the Scorpius bacteria has and will change life as we know it, but that’s a concern for another day. She’s been hand-picked as the computer guru for The Brigade, which is the USA’s first line of defense against all things Scorpius, including homegrown terrorists who’ve just been waiting for a chance to strike. Their target is a nuclear power plant in the east, and the only person who can help her is Hugh, the sexy, laconic, dangerous man she had a crush on so long ago.

EXCERPT
Aches and pains—the yummy kind—ran through Ellie’s body as
she exited the motel bathroom in the morning and stopped short at seeing what
was left of the bed. The covers were all on the floor, and even the mattress
looked cockeyed.
What a marathon of an evening.
She swallowed. Hugh had gone with Connor to brief the new
security team, leaving her lounging in bed after a truly phenomenal night.
The rumors, although awesome, hadn’t given Hugh enough
credit. He was amazing in bed.
Or maybe her big crush on him helped.
She pushed wet hair off her shoulder and smoothed down her
faded jeans. The air had turned cold enough she was comfortable in her light
blue sweater. Her phone dinged, and she tore her gaze away from the demolished
bed. “Smithers,” she answered.
“You alone?” Deke asked without preamble.
“Yes.” Striding quickly, she reached her laptop next to the
computer and flipped it open, easing back to perch at the end of the bed.
“What’s up?”
Deke cleared his throat. “The intel came in on Hugh. He’s
not one of the good guys, Eleanor.”
She snorted and inhaled the scent still left in the room
from Hugh. Masculine and tough. “He’s beyond good.” In more ways than one,
actually. “You’re being silly.” Was Deke being overprotective? How loud had
they been last night? Had Connor somehow heard something from the next room?
She bit her lip. Had she screamed at one point? Geez. “Give me a break, Deke.”
“I’m sending you the intel. Call me after you’ve read it.”
He clicked off.
Well. She huffed and rolled her eyes, quickly opening an
attachment from him. Documents, dossiers, and FBI investigational files quickly
filled her screen.
She read them, her stomach beginning to hurt. “This isn’t
right.”
A knock on the door nearly stopped her heart. “Who is it?”
“Connor.”
She stood and quickly unlocked the door for him, moving back
to her computer instantly.
He slipped inside and leaned back against the door, his dark
eyes somber. “I finished at the plant and left Hugh to continue briefing the
new security details. Told him I’d be back after grabbing more coffee. Did you
read the information from Deke?”
“Not all of it. I’m about halfway through.” She didn’t
believe this. Not at all.
Connor rubbed a hand across his eyes. “Let me fill you in.
Hugh’s family had financial troubles with what had been very successful tire
stores, and Gregor bailed out his brothers. That put Hugh in a world of hurt.”
If there was a way to get to Hugh, it’d be through family.
She shook her head anyway. “I don’t believe this.”
“Believe it,” Connor said grimly. “Hugh had no choice but to
work with Gregor. Fed the guy information on nuclear plants, vulnerabilities,
and hot targets. There was a hell of a lot more than just one picture of them
together. He really was being investigated by the FBI.” His lips pressed into a
thin white line as he took in the status of the bed. “Shit, Ellie. You didn’t.”
Blaze Erupting was a quick read in the Scorpius Syndrom series. In it we see the blooming relationship between Hugh and Ellie while also seeing more of how the world is going crazy with the outbreak of Scorpius. Blaze Erupting definitely brought out the suspenseful and dangerous side fo this outbreak, while also bringing home the fact that when the world is ending -it's not always easy to know who to trust and what to believe. Hugh and Ellie were acquaintances is college - they were partners in labs, and they knew each other but they weren't exactly friends even though Ellie wanted to be more to Hugh. But now there's a second chance and Hugh's ready to grab a hold of it, even though it means his world is changing further by teaming up with Ellie. Ellie isn't sure what to think about Hugh and his seemingly sudden attempt at expressing feelings between them - but one thing she knows she trusts the man he was and wants to believe thats the same man he still is. With dangerous plots being made all around them with the Scorpius taking over - Ellie needs to rely on Hugh to help her prevent more tragedies while also figuring out which side he's on in the end. Can she trust her heart and what her memories tell her? |
