Dante's Fire
by Jennifer Probst
SUMMARY:
It’s Time To Meet A New Kind Of Hero...
Dante Stark has a dark secret--a legacy left to him by
his father which is both a blessing and a curse. A traumatic experience as a
small boy gave him special powers of healing, but it comes with a price.
Destined to wander the world alone to heal others, he's accepted his fate.
Until Selina Rogers forces him to confront his deepest fears, erotic desires,
and question his capacity to love.
Selina Rogers has made a name for herself at Inferno
Enterprises. She's tough, confident and prepared to succeed. She's also built a
world she believes is safe, until she's attacked and then saved by a masked
stranger. As he helps her heal physically and emotionally, she becomes
fascinated by his overwhelming power and gentle touch. Determined to show Dante
the love he's been denying himself, Selina surrenders her heart, and dreams of
a future with the mysterious man who completes her.
But will his dark legacy destroy them...or save them
both...
The
story itself is a bit unusual with a Bruce Wayne type character possessing a
unique superhero skill. It is a gift not
only of strength and paranormal ability, but also of empathy. Truly, creating this character must have been
an inspiration from the heart.
Within
this crime-fighting context is a love story with a familiar trope. At points in the narrative, neither Dante or
Selina want to take risks necessary for the relationship to develop. It is much easier to hide under the guise of
“protecting” the other’s heart, than to actually take a risk:
“I
thought you had guts. Instead, you’d
rather hang on to a perfect memory than reach from something real. Something
messy and unsure, but possibly the best thing that could have ever happened to
either of us.”
The
cynic in me wonders if Selina could really accept Dante’s “job”. I have no doubt that his heart is with
Selina, but his mission leaves a lot of room for misunderstandings. The level
of trust between them has to be through the roof and beyond. Perhaps that ability is Selina’s own
superhuman power.

house, get pregnant again, pursue a master’s in English Literature, and rescue
