About The Book
Title: Fire Mountain
Series: Elements of Danger #1
Author: Dana Mentink
Publisher: Revell
Release Date: July 1, 2025
Genre: Mystery & Romantic Suspense
Fire rains from above as they fight to discover the truth and stay alive.
In the shadow of a threatening volcano, long-haul trucker Kit Garrido wakes up in her crashed big rig, unable to recall what happened or why she’s suddenly in possession of someone’s baby. Fiercely independent, she has to admit that perhaps this time she could use a little help.
As the threat of eruption grows, former cop Cullen Landry refuses to leave his cabin in the evacuation area, which is why he’s the only one left who can help Kit escape the crumpled cab of her truck. He doesn’t want to get tangled up in the mystery of the beautiful woman with an abandoned infant, but when he sees the bullet hole in the windshield and the bloody handprint on the interior, he realizes that he’s in this thing, like it or not.
When two armed men with ill intent approach, the race is on to stay alive, discover the truth, and find the baby’s missing mother–all while a deadly mountain rains fire from above.
Excerpt
Debris shot around them, rocking the trailer.
Unbelievable. They would die here in her truck, the machine she loved that had given her an independent life. A boulder slammed into the roof, the percussion swal- lowing her scream. Would the roof give? Cullen leapt up, pushed her behind the driver’s seat, and crouched beside her. Her heart thundered so hard she was sure he could feel it, his wide chest pressed against her shoulder. The percussion of the earth piling all around them was like the onslaught of a hurricane.
Time stood still. Five seconds? Ten? Fifteen? And then it stopped.
Her breath came in harsh gasps.
He crept to the window. “Well, you’re not driving this rig anytime soon, but it appears we won’t be buried alive just now.”
She forced her lungs to do their job. “We can dig out. I’ve got a small shovel.”
He opened his mouth to answer when a strange noise emanated from the sleeping area. They both jerked as if they’d been touched by hot lava.
That sound . . .
It couldn’t be what she thought it was. Her brain was misfiring. It had to be the concussion.
But the noise continued, and Cullen looked as if he’d heard it too. The hairs on the back of her neck prickled. “What . . . what is that?”
His intense stare added to her unease. “You said you never carry any passengers.”
Passengers? “I don’t.” She gaped.
He shoved aside the curtain to the sleeping area and crawled inside. She was immobile as he returned a moment later, eyes wide with shock, holding a car seat. The seat held a baby in pink pajamas who wriggled, let out a cry, and strained against the straps of her carrier. The tooth- less mouth opened wide like that of a newly hatched bird.
Kit could not summon a single word.
“Her seat was belted to the chair in your sleeping area.” He looked from the baby to Kit, his expression hardening with suspicion. “Well?”
She blinked, nerves screaming. “I . . .”
He cocked his head. “How exactly did this baby get into your truck, Kit Garrido?”
