Escape… a new beginning.

That’s what Demi Fedora yearns for. And so, she leaves everything and everyone she knows to move to her deceased grandfather’s derelict cabin in the wilds of Alaska, the one he left her in his will.

Meeting Whittaker Hart isn’t in her plans. Though the ruggedly handsome gold prospector does everything to win her over, she keeps her distance until her need to survive a life totally foreign to her nature overcomes her desire to do everything herself.

After rescuing a young drunk and a wolf pup, taking on the tough life of a greenhorn, she realizes one thing. Between fixing up the place to make it livable for the coming winter and learning how to exist in a land filled with vicious storms and treacherous wildfires, she can’t cope alone.

No matter how much she yearns for independence, she needs help…. a lot of help.

~*~*~*~

The idea for this story came to me after awakening one morning last winter and seeing snow everywhere. It looked like a wonderland outside and put me back in time to when I lived in Stewart, British Columbia.

It was the first year I was married… a magical time in my life for not only that reason, but because the country was so incredible. When an older woman next door took me under her wing, she told me many times it was God’s country, and I believed her. She’d say he created the North for Sunday because it was his paradise… a place for him to rest. When one stopped to see the incredible skies, smell the glorious wild flowers, and fall in love with the majestic mountains, agreement came easy.

I had a lot of fun writing this story and coming up with conflict after conflict. Just sayin’ – you might have to prepare for an all-nighter. 😊

I wrote this book and dedicated it to one of my dearest friends who visited the setting in this book with me and my family. We spent a month in Greece on the fabulous island of Rhodes and the descriptions I used were mostly from memory with a small amount of elaboration to build suspense.

I based the heroine on her and her family and loved doing so. It’s always fun having someone special in mind when one creates characters.

From reading the comments, I know the readers have liked this story. I hope you will to.

It’s a bargain for $0.99.   

Book Description:

Sophia’s mane of silver hair gives her a look of a mystical warrior, a female not of this world. Some colleagues defend her, others are jealous… most fear her, yet everyone respects her abilities. An ace sharpshooter, she’s called on for the most difficult cases. Her uncanny ability to remain cool under duress makes her the perfect person to rescue the twins of the frantic Governor whose rejected husband intends to make her suffer. The fact that they are whisked to Greece also works in her favor since she’s spent most of her summers in Rhodes visiting family and can show up there without anyone becoming suspicious. Problems begin when a cocky hero hits on her in the marketplace. Why her?

Sam Reagan, owner and CEO of The Reagan Group, promises his sister he’ll follow the FBI agent to the Greek island to ensure his niece and nephew will be safely returned to her arms. Understanding his mission has to be covert – his former brother-in-law will recognize him if he steps out of his undercover role – he uses an alias and follows the gorgeous agent who’s on the case. It’s understood he stays in the background, gives assistance if needed… until he sees her. Then all bets are off. There’s no way he’ll leave her to deal with dangerous traffickers after she saves a teenager and whisks the poor girl away right under their noses.

Digging deeper, working together, they discover the consortium of criminals are more organized than they first believe. And the man running the operation is the same low-life loser who fathered the missing twins.

#22 Kindle Instant Book Reviews – Special Agent Walker (99 cents) #suspense #romance

After watching so many “Breaking News” reports about school shootings, I got to wondering what I would do if I was on public transport like a bus and saw a young boy acting strange, looking scared, and yet defiant. I imagined him  fiddling with his backpack in a weird manner, and then as he stood to get off at a stop near a high school, I saw a rifle barrel poking out from the bag’s flap.

In today’s world, one might just use a cell phone and call it in. In fact, that would probably be the smartest thing, but what if a person thought that it might take too long? Maybe a warning at the school would be best? Yet if the kid knew he’d been seen, would he start shooting right away?

Seriously… the more I got thinking about it, the more I knew it had to be the beginning of one of my  books. And so I wrote Special Agent Walker. In my story, Lori Page is an FBI profiler on her way to a job interview.

She deals with the situation…. in her own way.

Story takes a whole twist that I wasn\

Agent Walker drops his beloved goddaughter off at the same school where minutes later a shooter begins the devil’s work.

Lori Page, an FBI profiler, spots a boy on a bus who’s acting strange. When he disembarks, she notices what appears to be a rifle in his backpack. Suspicions triggered and her instincts screaming, she follows him into his school where all hell breaks loose.

Intrigued by the weird behavior of a mysterious beauty, Beau follows her into the building and they both find themselves at the same crime scene. He eventually pairs up with her to stop the coming violence.

After the first incident, these two are forced to work together to stop more of these bizarre school shootings.

Too bad…

Too late.
