Shannon McKenna’s bestselling action-adventure romances starring the McCloud Brothers have been widely praised, described by Publishers Weekly as “full of turbocharged sex scenes…action-packed…a crowd pleaser.”  In her previous book, FADE TO MIDNIGHT, McKenna introduced the “honorary McCloud Brother” Bruno Ranieri, the restless and hot-headed adopted brother of Kev McCloud. Now, with the October 2011 release of BLOOD AND FIRE (Brava/Kensington; September 2011; $15) fans can once again expect all of McKenna’s trademark steamy suspense as Bruno contends with his own dangerous past—one that’s about to come crashing back into his life.

Bruno Ranieri has always lived at a chaotic pace, and that goes double lately. Since his uncle’s untimely demise, Bruno is working himself to the bone, trying to keep his nose clean and save the family business. Not easy when the nightmares that plagued his childhood are hi-jacking what little rest he gets.  So when exotically beautiful Lily Parr sashays into his all-night restaurant, claiming to be on the run from mysterious assassins, Bruno starts to wonder if sleep deprivation is finally getting to him. Especially when Lily implies that Bruno is involved. But the violence that accompanies her arrival is no illusion. Nor is the blisteringly hot, completely inconvenient desire that explodes between them…
