Marcus Valente, a twenty-first century volcanologist, was collecting data near the crater of the volcano when a tremor knocked him to the ground and sent him rolling down the side. When Aemilia rescues him, he gets his first sight of the city. A glittering, thriving Pompeii and not the two thousand-year-old ruins he expects. Marcus decides he must be in a bizarre dream, one where Mount Vesuvius has yet to erupt. He soon discovers that the most famous volcanic eruption in history is less than twenty-four hours away. Reader Alert! Aemilia Nautius would never have guessed that fleeing for her life could be so exciting. The volcano Vesuvius cannot compare to the inferno about to erupt within her. Especially when the man who comes to her rescue is hotter than the Fire God himself. To My Readers: While exploring the ruins of Pompeii, I felt surrounded by the spirits of those who fled for their lives that final day. The skeletons of a mother and infant that had been uncovered in the debris inspired me to write WRATH OF THE FIRE GOD. There’s nothing more adrenaline inducing than feeing for your life. Unless it’s falling in love.
