Going Once (Forces of Nature)
Romantic suspense queen Sala (Blood Trails) launches a series with this enticing and exciting contemporary. Barely clinging to life on a tall tree as devastating floodwaters surge around her, Nola Landry witnesses something even more terrifying—a triple homicide. The Stormchaser is a brutal and twisted serial killer who haunts towns that have been ravaged by natural disasters, taking seven lives in Nola's Louisiana parish alone. No one has ever seen his face or witnessed his crimes until now. The FBI has been tracking him, and this latest crime brings profiler Tate Benson back to the hometown he left years ago—and to Nola, his ex. As Nola and Tate reconnect, burying past hurts and working toward a future together, the Stormchaser comes after Nola. Skillfully balancing suspense and romance, Sala gives readers a nonstop breath-holding adventure. Agent: Meredith Bernstein, Meredith Bernstein Literary Agency. (Oct.)
