Two Against The World

Explosives expert Sebastian Fontenot has patience in spades—whether he's deactivating bombs or gritting out three days beneath a pile of rubble. But when the hard-bodied operative learns his oldest friend is in trouble, he flies into action—and ends up on the Artic Circle, where a sexy scientist holds clues that threaten his mission—and her life....

Olivia Corrigan can handle men. But Sebastian Fontenot is like no other she's encountered: hot as hell and in danger of thinking he can order her around with that delicious drawl of his. Lucky for her, the mesmerizing mercenary is on her side. And it's a good thing, too. Once they stumble onto a horrifying international cover up, it's up to Olivia and Sebastian to keep their hands off each other just long enough to keep a dangerous power from falling into the wrong hands....

An ex-marine and an NSA operative heat up the Arctic Circle in Fetzer's serviceable latest (after Fight Fire with Fire). Sharing stage center are former Marine Sebastian Fontenot and Dr. Olivia Corrigan, an NSA "Second Sight unit" archaeologist. Sebastian is pulled back into duty and into Livi's arms when his antiquarian friend is kidnapped, presumably in a bid to force him to share his knowledge of a magical jade relic. The relic is also being sought by Lizveta Nevolin, who is determined to possess its power and avenge the death of her Cold War-era Russian sub commander father. The high-stakes quest leads to the Arctic and a big showdown, and though the relic is never fully explained and the cold war angle's a little stale, the action sequences are well done. (Aug.)
