Terrorists have created a super virus that not only kills the person injected but also turns the body to dust. Lucy is a civilian but only she can get into the Nhala palace to stop the terrorist. Helping her is Captain Mike Shafer of the US Army, posing as her businessman fiancé. Together they face a madman and a race across the country to save several countries as well as Lucy's life.

Quick pacing and dynamic characters made this a thrilling read. The characters were larger than life and the conflict they faced was terrifying and written is such a way that you couldn't stop reading. There was nothing outstanding about each character but their lives were just so real that you felt like you really knew them. I really liked how Lucy and Mike recognized and respected each others abilities and personalities. Descriptive scenery made the reader really feel the cold climate and the struggles the ice and snow caused. The plot flowed seamlessly and I wasn't aware of time passing because I was so involved in the story. This was my first book by Elizabeth Jennings but it certainly won't be the last. I highly recommend this book to all who like their suspense intense and their romance heart-stopping!
