Chained Reaction
by Shiloh Love
GENRE: Contemporary Romantic Suspense
One
bad mistake sparks a chain reaction of terror for two innocent people.
When
a registered nurse is blackmailed into helping two coworkers commit a crime,
she never expects to find love. With her career on the line, the last thing
Camille needs is romantic entanglement that will most likely lead to heartbreak
if a secret from her past goes public. She just wants to end the nightmare and
return to her job.
Lights
out for billionaire Trenton Shade upon helping a lady in distress. He wakes
hours later chained to an antique barber chair in the middle of nowhere. The
nurse caring for him seems too kind to be an abductor. Her cohorts on the other
hand, paint quite a different scenario. Plummeted into a dangerous situation,
he reaches out to the only possible helping hand.
Can
two victims of evil intent escape the clutches of a crazed pair of women driven
by greed? Even if Camille and Shade make it out alive, will the bond formed
during captivity lead to a future together?
There
are some wounds even the most powerful love cannot heal.

Exclusive Excerpt:
“I think we lost them,” Shade whispered after crawling up
beside her.
Without warning, a familiar sound sent chills down her
spine—the unmistakable loud racking of a gun. She was afraid to look but in
automatic response her head jerked around, as did Shade’s.
There stood Joan dressed in camo pants and top with militant
boots on her feet, brandishing an assault rifle. Camille’s focus shifted to the
long magazine protruding from underneath, and realized she was on target with
her terrorist suspicion.
“Think again, bucko,” she snarled at Shade. “Get up and head
back the way you came. Don’t even try to escape this time or your girlfriend
here is my first target.”
Shade slowly pushed to his feet—rage painted all over his
face. Camille had not seen him look so furious during this entire ordeal until
now. She feared the war between soldier and terrorist had just begun.
Shade inwardly seethed as he and Camille sat back-to-back,
chained against the barber chair. He hated this barbaric chair and couldn’t get
over how close they were to escape when Joan caught them. This woman had grated
his last nerve by threatening Camille as a means to control him.
He’d underestimated his enemy. A critical mistake. Joan was
shrewd to uncover a weakness—his growing fondness of Camille.
Since they both could not fit into the chair’s seat, the
wench forced them to sit on the floor on opposite sides of the porcelain base
as she secured them with the heavy tow-chain.
Rage coursed through him, making his blood feel like fire in
his veins. He heard Camille quietly sobbing, and vowed to make these women pay.
His only piece of sanity in this surreal situation was that
he and Camille had the chance to get to know one another, and openly express
their mutual attraction.
Their intimate encounter in the water trickled through his
mind, and was the only thing keeping him from going ballistic.
He’d felt the switch the moment he’d heard that rifle click.
In that split second, humanity went out the window and his mind entered war
mode.
However, he had another soul onboard now. His exquisite
Camille with her wild love. He sat in muted silence—thinking.
“Since you two are so fond of each other, I thought you’d
enjoy being chained together,” Joan sneered, staring down at him with ugly gray
eyes.
He refused to indulge her with a response.
“Oh tough guy, huh?” She kicked him in the side. “You think
only men can be tough? You just met your match, boy. You ain’t the only
militant in this cabin.”
“Oh. My. Gosh. Will you just shut up?” Camille snapped from
the other side. “Shut up already! Get your business taken care of and shut the
hell up. I can’t stand to hear your voice anymore.”
A hurt expression shadowed Joan’s face, which surprised
Shade. He studied her discreetly.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Shiloh Love is
a fan of happily ever after. Her novels are too!
Shiloh enjoys
creating romance, paranormal romance, and romantic suspense stories with a
gritty flair. Her stories are her own, and she typically writes outside the
box. She’s always been a leader not a follower. Writing is her mental filter
and how she processes the world around her, a fictional place where she can
control the outcome at her comfort level with justice and happy endings. Her
imagination is her greatest strength as it carries her away from daily stress.
As a survivor
of hardship and chronic disease, she takes one day at a time and treasures the
simple things in life. Shiloh is a Christian, loves animals, and practices
being kind and generous every day. When not immersed in new stories, she enjoys
watching movies, Motocross and Supercross, playing Yahtzee with her fiancé, and
hanging out with her loyal 24/7 companion and trained service dog. She’s not a
fan of sitcoms as they don’t offer enough mental stimulation. Losing herself in
an intense story gives her brain the workout it needs to manage OCD, anxiety,
depression, and stress.
Her
achievements thus far include The Golden Wings Award for her debut novel The
Satellite, the UK Nobel Pin and Editor’s Choice Award for her poem The Lonely
Man, numerous 5 Star Reviews from Fallen Angels Reviews, Coffee Time Romance,
InD’tale Magazine, and Goodreads for retired and current novels. Her novel
Forever in Darkness was a RONE Awards Finalist. Chained Reaction received the
5-star Crowned Heart from InD’tale Magazine.
Her quote is,
“Writing is the only time I’m truly free.” She’s happiest when her intriguing
characters come to life and steal her away into their worlds where anything is
possible.
