Zero Emissions
Aftermarket auto entrepreneur Michael Antonelli has a groundbreaking scheme in need of a patent lawyer. Who better than Julia Darcy, the brainy young woman who cost him a bundle in an unrelated lawsuit? She's left a top-notch firm to start her own practice, but when he approaches she isn't interested. At least not until he reveals he and his scientist partner have come up with the Holy Grail of energy, green gas that burns clean with almost no impact on the environment. She swallows her skepticism for the patent opportunity of a lifetime . . . if it's real.
When she's tossed down an office stairwell Antonelli suspects this is the opening gambit in a high stakes ploy to steal his process. He no longer wants her involved but Julia insists, even though her jaws are wired shut from the accident. A lawyer who can't talk? He'd be nuts to agree. Still, her fire in the belly convinces him she'll work her butt off to patent his biofuel. Unless it's his attraction to Julia's guts and crooked smile? He enlists his mafia uncle to keep an eye on her. Big mistake when his estranged teenaged daughter is kidnapped. It takes the mafia, CIA, and Julia's bravery to come up with a strategy. But what does it mean for Michael, Julia, the biofuel, and their escalating passion? Read Zero Emissions to find out!

About the author
Dorian Paul
5 books12 followersDorian Paul is Dorrie Parini and Paul LaFerriere, writing partners and spouses. We met at a small consulting firm prior to starting our own science writing company, and before taking the plunge into wedded bliss. Talk about entrepreneurial risk! We worked together, mostly on the same page, providing Fortune 100 pharmaceutical and biotech companies with accurate and cutting-edge science information for their markets. Along the way our little endeavor collected over 100 writers, artists, designers and computer specialists. We sold it, but couldn't stop writing together so we turned to fiction. Our first two books had a science twist. Risking the World, a biotech thriller, was an Amazon Bestseller in suspense. Zero Emissions followed and focused on a bio-engineered green gasoline that burns clean. Crossing Paths, our latest novel, takes a different turn into contemporary fiction within an historical English country house setting. All of our books bring to life the adventure of a man and woman working side-by-side in a start-up enterprise, and the joys and trials of mixing work and love in unexpected ways. Try one of our novels if you're looking for a unique read!

Julia Darcy who recently left a position in a large legal firm to start her own company is tapped by Michael Antonelli an after market auto entrepreneur to write up an iron clad copy write patent for an invention that will blow the oil companies out of the water and make environmentalists world wide ecstatic. It was actually his friend who figured out how to make it (while on a trip to Belize) and Michael who could take that product and refine it into auto fuel.
Things get really crazy and very dangerous but by now Julia is not going to quit this case--no matter what Michael says!! This is non stop action and a book you don't want to miss for various reasons! By the way, I agree with the reviewer below-this would make a great movie!!

Given To Me For An Honest Review
Zero Emissions by Dorian Paul is a must read. Before you open the book, make sure you have your seatbelt on because you're about to go on a zero emissions ride of your life. Once you open to the first page, it will grab you and hold you down tightly, then you'll watch those pages turn and turn and turn some more until you get to the last one. There are even a few twists and turns thrown in too. This book is a great suspense thriller. It is a story of a combination of biotechnology and entrepreneurship with high stakes excitement throughout. The characters are fantastic! I gave this book 5 stars but wish I could give it more. I highly recommend it to everyone. I look for more from Dorian Paul.
