Between an Idaho snowstorm and a killer on the loose, this cowboy has his work cut out for him Ever since beautiful city-girl Sierra Hyde arrived on his doorstep, Pike Hastings's quiet Idaho ranch life has become a chaotic swirl of deception, murder--and unbelievable attraction. Sierra, who's a much better private investigator than country girl, needs Pike's help to unravel the truth behind too many mysteries. As the evidence builds, this rugged cowboy finds himself willing to do whatever it takes to both keep Sierra safe and convince her to stay by his side. But trying to tame her independent spirit is harder than wrangling a calf. Though not as hard as it'll be to get her out of his heart when she no longer needs his protection

Author Biography

I was born in Sacramento, California where I launched my writing career by "publishing" a family newspaper. Circulation was dismal. After school, I married the love of my life. We spent years juggling children and pets while living on sailboats. All the while, I read like a crazy woman (devoured Agatha Christie) and wrote stories of my own, eventually selling to magazines and then book publishers. Now, 45 novels later, I'm concentrating on romantic suspense where my true interest lies.
