Vicarious

Written by: Ocean Archer

Vicarious is chick-lit on steroids married to guy-spy thriller on Midol. The result is PMS meets AK47 where barbs fly faster than bullets.

Avery Bonelli was an investigative journalist with Pulitzer ambitions until Logan Nash destroyed her credibility and made her Chiquita non grata in the journalism world. Now he's back with a bullet in his shoulder and a scoop that can put her back in the big leagues. All she has to do is stay alive.

When an international terrorist escapes justice on a technicality, the country wants blood. Avery just wants the exclusive … and Logan has it. He also has ulterior motives, a familiar hazard when fraternizing with the Y chromosome. But having just broken off an engagement, Avery has no interest in Logan’s pecs … or his 21st digit.

But you can’t go cold-turkey on men. Not when Ben & Jerry are calling your name from the frozen foods aisle and Logan's the one holding the scoop.

Avery is about to uncover the truth behind the terrorist trial, which threatens a political conspiracy that permeates every branch of government, from the FBI to the White House. Assassins are gunning for her and she doesn’t know why. The only guns she carries are a pair of 34Bs in a Victoria’s Secret holster. She’s forced to get Logan’s help. They break into a maximum-security stronghold, steal top-secret research, and run for their lives. Caught between a terrorist and a military commando, Avery will have to trust her life to the man who just might want her dead.
