Cowboy Secrets, The Brothers of Hastings Ridge Ranch

When a city girl arrives in Idaho with a story of murder, a rancher must prepare for more than one kind of storm . . .

Ever since beautiful New York private investigator Sierra Hyde arrived, Pike Hastings’s quiet life on an Idaho ranch has become a chaotic swirl of deception, murder—and unbelievable attraction. Sierra, who’s out of her element in these rural surroundings, needs Pike’s help to unravel the truth behind too many mysteries. As a blizzard bears down and 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 . . .

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.
