Blurb
His
sister's life is at stake, and despite his wealth and power, Sheik
Emir Al-Nassar feels helpless. At least heading his family's security
agency provides him with resources to track down her kidnappers. But
when the ace profiler he's sent turns out to be K. J.—Kate—Gelinsky,
Emir is furious. Finding the kidnappers' desert hideout is dangerous
enough without the distraction of a beautiful woman.
But
K.J. is unlike any woman he's ever known. Her fearlessness and
incisive mind inspires Emir's admiration. And her compassion breaches
his guarded heart. Still, rescuing his sister is a perilous mission.
And allowing desire to cloud his focus could endanger them all.
Excerpt
Just
looking at that hand confirmed every doubt he had. It wasn’t just
about customs, she was female and because of that and so many other
things, she was the wrong person for the job.
“I’ll
help you find your sister. You just need to trust me.”
“No!”
The word came out with the pent-up fury that had built since the
fateful call from Tara’s kidnappers and now the full impact of it
sparked in his eyes as his temple pounded and his fists clenched.
“No,”
he said with less edge but with no room for negotiation. He was
wasting time, had wasted time, first waiting and now in a senseless
airport run. “I don’t care what you specialized in. You’re a
woman and because of that you’re going home,” he said bluntly.
“I’ve wasted enough time. I’ll speak to the pilot and we’ll
get you out of here.”
“You’re
not being fair.”
“I’m
not being fair,” he repeated, emphasizing each word. If she’d
been a man he would have had her by the collar up against the wall,
his face in hers. But she wasn’t and that was the problem.
“You’re useless to me. I’d have to watch out for both you and
me. That’s a distraction. Look at you – you couldn’t swing a
punch or…”
One
minute he was seething, glaring at her, and the next he was flat on
his back.
“You
bloody flipped me,” he snarled, leaping to his feet.
About
Me
The
Canadian prairies are my home and while the prairie landscape is
blessed with beautiful blue skies, it also has four seasons that come
on full throttle – especially winter and because of that I like to
travel. Often on those trips, stories are born.
In
2011 I won my city's writing award, and was the first romance writer
to do so since its inception. In 2013 my romantic suspense was a
semi-finalist in the Kindle Book Awards. Published in historic
romance and paranormal romance as well as romantic suspense, in
February 2016, my first novel was published by Harlequin Intrigue.
There’s
no lack of places to set a story as my imagination and the too long
prairie winters may find me seeking adventure. The memories of those
worlds both near and far, the words of a stranger, the furtive look
one man gives another, often become the catalyst for a suspenseful
story with a deadly villain and an intrepid hero and heroine who must
battle for their right to love or even their right to live.
When
not dreaming of other stories, I can be found scouting out a garage
sale or two, dusting off my roller blades or just thinking about the
next adventure that may be miles away or in my own backyard.
