Fonda Raine possesses the extraordinary psychic ability of astral projecting and hovers over Eric Aruda in a D.C. suburb. Taken aback by his magnificent naked body, but still determined to kill him for setting fire to her lover while in the throes of lovemaking, Fonda links their lives together with no possible return. Both are Offspring of an experiment by Gerard Darkwell that went astray involving the essence and DNA of otherworldly beings.

Eric's unique ability is pyrokinesis. Other Offspring like Eric are sequestered at "the tomb," a bomb shelter hideaway considered a safe haven. Known as the Rogues, their objective is to sabotage the program with their individual psychic abilities, each being devastatingly different. Entering each other's minds and realizing they should work together in a joint effort, Fonda fights side-by-side with Eric as they run for their lives evading Neil Bishop, posing as FBI Agent John Westerfield, and in reality the enemy with stronger powers than their own. Neil and his brother Malcolm are intent on destroying all Offspring and are severe dangers to be reckoned with.

BURNING DARKNESS is the 4th book in the Offspring series. Prepare yourself for this totally thrilling story filled with unimaginable excitement and drama. After having read two books of this series, I will definitely have to read all of them. I was completely caught up in the complex creation of the "offspring" and their fight for mere survival. Jaime Rush is an extremely colorful and exciting writer full of amazing imagination of which this story is proof.

Book Summary

Trained assassin Fonda Raine has her sights locked on Eric Aruda, one of the rogue Offspring-a pyrokenetic who can create fires at the merest thought. But Fonda has powers of her own, and her ability to project an astral self enables her to go exactly where she wants to be-into Eric's bed.

Eric is stunned by the inexplicable affection of his mysterious enchantress, unaware that Fonda plans to seduce him and then eliminate him. But the game changes radically with the arrival of an assassin from hell with orders to destroy them both. And suddenly Fonda and Eric have only two choices: join forces or go down in flames.
