GENRE: Romantic Suspense

Kate
Logan needs a safe haven, a place to start over after her modeling career
disintegrates in scandal. But her hometown of Aspen Lake isn’t the sanctuary
she hoped. Her vow of a low-key life is disrupted by a break-in and other
strange happenings at her boutique. As the chair of Aspen Lake’s Gothic Revival
Festival, she’s also drawn the ire of a religious fanatic. Kate is up to her
stilettos in drama and intrigue including one sexy carpenter who’s determined
to get in her way.
New to town, Seth Stone
is seeking inspiration and solitude to concentrate on his art. Short on funds,
he agrees to take on a second job restoring the damage to Kate’s Closet.
Trouble erupts along with the desire to get to know Kate better. When he’s used
as a pawn in a smear campaign against his gorgeous boss Seth fights back. But
now the whole town is watching. Including the man determined to further his own
agenda. Time is running out with nowhere to hide.

EXCERPT:
Against Kate’s will, her lips twitched and she nodded. “Why
don’t we see how the door goes first?”
“Fair enough. I’ll do my best to amaze.” He grinned. A
heart-stopping, slow-spreading, deadly kind of grin. A slight lift of the
corners until it gradually widened to reach all the way to his eyes. Eyes that
hid a hint of jungle cat in them. The kind of smile that took forever to get
where it was going, but when it got there you felt like someone had forgotten
to yell “Clear!” before they used the paddles.
When she committed to getting sober, booze wasn’t the only
thing she’d given up. If you didn’t count the one night of insanity and
crushing loneliness she’d succumbed to, it meant she hadn’t had sex in over a
year. She battened down her hatches as a lovely rush of hormones washed through
her. He wasn’t her type. She didn’t go for younger men, and she put him
somewhere in his early twenties. She was twenty-nine going on eighty. No, he
was not for her. But that didn’t stop her from squirming in her high heels.
“I’ll leave you to it.” She slipped her ice queen persona
back into place, stiffened her spine and her resolve as she tried not to ooze
pheromones. Or desperation. Then she decided to ignore all of it and him and
hoped any potential fantasies died from lack of cultivation. She had enough
problems. She didn’t need gorgeous. Or intense. Or broad shouldered. It was
time to give older, stable, and established a try. A gentleman by choice. One
who owned a suit. Someone respectable. She did a quick scan of Seth’s back
view. Not a guy who looked like summertime at the beach. Were those leather
bracelets? With beads?
And
what? She was doing inventory now?
So...he was hot. Her life was a mess. She didn’t need it to
become a hot mess.

I grew up on a
farm in the middle of Canada's breadbasket. Under the canopy of crisp blue
prairie skies I read books. Lots and lots of books. One day the inevitable
happened and I knew without question the time was right. What to write was
never the issue - romance and the gut wrenching journey towards forever.
