Hunted. Haunted. Heir to a life-changing fortune…and a hidden family tragedy.
Forced to flee her swanky graduation ball pursued by dangerous Russian assassins, eighteen-year-old Lana must go on the run. She’s just discovered her late mother—who threw herself off the Golden Gate Bridge for reasons no one knows—was also heir to a grand Gilded Age fortune—but she never told Lana the truth about her past. Haunted by questions and by the ghost of her godmother, Lana must live long enough to claim her fortune—and solve the mystery of her mother's death.
Her only hope is the gorgeous, intimidating Alexander Ambrose. Who also happens to be her wealthy distant cousin. After finding Lana badly injured in the middle of the desert, he convinces her that she alone is heir to their reclusive great-aunt’s Gilded Age fortune. When she finds out her enemies are tracking her every move, she convinces Alexander to take her on a wild drive across the United States in his sleek Aston Martin.
If she doesn’t survive the journey, her devious, greedy stepmother will claim her fortune. But first, she must survive Alexander Ambrose.
The second and final book in the VALLEY OF THE MOON series, VALLEY OF FIRE concludes the adventures of Lana Goodwin. A contemporary YA mystery, the book contains some intense scenes of violence, steamy romance, fast cars, ghosts, and a riveting conclusion to the tale of the girl from the valley of the moon.
**Like Lana's Ferarri, right out of the gate, Archer's Valley of Fire will thrust you into a novel that is equal parts adrenaline, steamy romance and coming of age tale. This book was like gunshot -- fast and furious and unrelenting. I'm not sure what I liked best: the adventure with its thrilling twists and turns, the white hot sparks between Alex and Lana or watching Lana grow into the young woman she was meant to be. Either way, I definitely didn't get much sleep for two nights. Unputdownable!
