"Edgy,
steamy, action packed, and plotted with nail-biting tension..."--Library
Journal, Starred Review
In the harsh
Northern Waste where human life is worth little, ice trucker Raina Bowen has
learned to keep her eyes open and her knife close at hand. She's spent her life
on the run, one step ahead of the megalomaniac who hunts her. All she wants is
to stay out of trouble and haul her load of grain to Gladow Station—but trouble
finds her in the form of a sexy stranger called Wizard.
He has the
trucking pass she needs, and she has to drag him out of a brawl with the very
people she's trying to hide from in order to get it. She may have rescued him,
but Raina's not foolish enough to see Wizard as anything close to helpless.
He's hard and honed and full of secrets—secrets that may destroy them both. As
they race across the Waste, trying to outrun rival truckers, ice pirates, and
the powerful man bent on their destruction, Raina's forced to admit that
trouble's found her. And this time, there's nowhere left to run.
"Anyone
looking for something different will find [Silver]'s steamy, sinewy universe
great fun..."--Publishers
Weekly, Starred Review

[Silver] expertly fuses nonstop action and adventure; a cutting-edge,
exceptionally inventive setting; and a terrific, take-charge, no-nonsense
heroine in Driven, a fresh, fabulously fun futuristic romance."--,The Chicago Tribune

of Mad Max meets Red Dawn..."--dearauthor.com

“…[Silver] keeps bringing a
fresh aspect to romance with strong worldbuilding and a poignant love story.
It's a true marriage of the themes of fantasy/science fiction and romance…”—DearAuthor.com
For most of her life Tatiana was
imprisoned, tortured in the name of science, her DNA used to create a plague
that could wipe out the entire population of the Northern Waste. But since her
escape she's no one's victim. Not any more. She means to hunt down her
tormentor, kill him, and destroy the plague he created. Nothing slows her down
or distracts her from her mission. Until she encounters the mysterious Tristan
who claims his goals match hers.
Enemy or ally, she has no way to
know…but she does know better than to trust a smart and sexy stranger
who's alpha to the core. While her body aches for his touch, her mind
recognizes that he's a man with secrets and a hidden agenda of his own. She
means to discover what he's hiding, but first they'll have to survive ice
pirates, a lethal plague, and being trapped in an underground lab, running like
rats in a maze from a deadly threat unleashed by a madman.
“[Silver]’s name is fast
becoming synonymous with high-octane, gritty adventure…What immediately
elevates these books, besides great plotting and worldbuilding, is the depth
and texture of her characters. This is a perfect action romance!”—RT BOOKreviews

Excerpt from DRIVEN:
The air was stale, rank with the stink
of smoke, sweat, and old beer. Bob’s Truck Stop. Nice place for a meal.
Raina Bowen sat at a small table,
back to the wall, posture deceptively relaxed. Inside, she was coiled tighter
than the Merckle shocks that were installed in her rig, but it was better to
appear unruffled. Never let ’em see you sweat. That had been one of Sam’s many
mottos.
She glanced around the crowded
room, mentally cataloging the Siberian gun truckers at the counter, the
cadaverous pimp in the corner and his ferret-faced companion, the harried
waitress who deftly dodged the questing hand that reached out to snag her as
she passed. In the center of the room was a small raised platform with a metal
pole extending to the grime-darkened ceiling. A scantily clad girl, barely out of
puberty, wiggled and twirled around the pole. Raina looked away. But for a
single desperate act, one that had earned her freedom, she might have been that
girl.
Idly spinning the same half-empty
glass of warm beer that she’d been nursing for the past hour, she looked
through the grimy windows at the front of the truck stop. Frozen, colorless,
the bleak expanse stretched with endless monotony until the high-powered
floodlights tapered off and the landscape was swallowed by the black night sky.
A balmy minus-thirty outside. And
it would only get colder the farther north they went. Raina had a keen dislike
of the cold, but if she were the first to reach Gladow Station with her load of
genetically engineered grain, there’d be a fat bonus of fifty million interdollars.
That’d be more than enough to warm her to the cockles of her frozen heart.
More than enough to buy Beth’s
safety.
Keeping her gaze on the door,
Raina willed it to open. She couldn’t wait much longer. Where the hell was
Wizard? Sitting here—a woman alone in a place like this—drew too much
attention. She wanted no one to remember her face. Anonymity was a precious
commodity, one she realized had slipped through her fingers as from the corner
of her eye she watched one of the Siberians begin to weave drunkenly across the
room.
“Well, hello, sweet thing.” He
stopped directly in front of her, kicked the extra chair out from the table,
and shifted it closer before dropping his bulk onto the torn Naugahyde. He was
shrouded in layers of tattered cloth that were stained and frayed, the stink of
him hitting her nostrils before he finished his greeting.
“Leave. Now.” Keeping her voice
low and even, Raina snaked one hand along her waist toward the small of her
back, resting her fingers on the smooth handle of her knife.
The Siberian smiled at her,
revealing the brown stubs of three rotting teeth. “You can’t chase me off so
easy. I’ve been watching you.” He gestured at the front of his pants. “You need
a man, sweet thing.”
Uh-huh. “And you think you’re a
man?”
The trucker frowned at her
question; then his thick brows shot up as he realized he’d been insulted.
Undeterred, he leaned forward, catching her ponytail with one scarred and dirty
hand. “I’ll show you how much man I am. Give us a kiss, sweet thing.”
His tongue was already out and
reaching as he pulled her face closer to his.
“Last warning,” Raina said softly,
wishing he would listen.
He gave a hard tug on her
ponytail. Raina slid her knife from its sheath, bringing it up with a sharp
twist, neatly slicing through the tip of the trucker’s tongue. Blood splattered
in all directions, thick and hot. With an enraged howl he jerked back, letting
loose his hold on her as he clapped both hands over his mouth. Dark blood
dripped down his unshaven chin to pool on the tabletop.
Raina sent a quick look at the
rest of the Siberians. Their attention was firmly fixed on the girl who was
shimmying up and down the pole. Returning her gaze to the moaning trucker, she
picked up the stained scrap of cloth that passed for a serviette and slowly
wiped her blade clean. She knew that once serviettes had been made of paper,
but that was a long time ago, when there had still been enough trees to provide
pulp.
“Name’s Raina Bowen. Not sweet
thing.” She sighed. So much for anonymity. “And the last thing I need is a
man.”
