Anders (Blank Canvas) delivers a solid romantic thriller centered around polar opposites forced to survive an Antarctic winter together while being pursued by a killer. Angel Smith was looking for an escape to give her time to sort out her mess of a life and plan her next steps when she signed on to be the cook at the South Pole’s Burke-Ruhe Research Station. When the research station is attacked by a powerful corporate enemy intent on stealing research, Angel barely makes it out with the help of geologist Ford Cooper. They never got along under the best of circumstances, and now they’re forced to rely on each other to stay alive as a snowstorm looms and their attacker chases them across the icy landscape. Unasked-for chemistry and surprising tenderness grows between them in the midst of the freezing cold as Anders strikes an impressive balance between romance and page-turning suspense. Readers who crave high-stakes action mixed in with their romance will be taken by this consistently surprising adventure. Agent: Laura Bradford, Bradford Literary Agency.
