Читать книгу More Than A Lawman - Anna J. Stewart - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

Years ago, my local RWA chapter, The Sacramento Valley Rose, held its annual Three-Page Read, an exercise in catching a reader’s attention within the first three pages of a story. This particular year, after having submitted numerous paranormal stories (and one historical), I wanted to do something different. So I wrote about a woman who wakes up and finds herself hanging in a meat locker. It was a hit but I put the story aside and almost...almost forgot about it.

Since then, I couldn’t shake the idea or the character. Eden St. Claire was one of those creations who took up residence in my brain, occasionally knocking, demanding her story be told. One of the questions I found myself asking was, what type of man would take this woman on? She’s angry, she’s determined, and when it comes to setting her mind on something, nothing’s going to deter her. But there might be one man, her late brother’s best friend, Detective Cole Delaney, who’s more than up for the challenge. Oh, yeah...now I was definitely onto something.

Cole scares her. She’s had enough to deal with in her life, enough loss. She doesn’t need any more changes, except maybe there is something beyond her need for seeking justice. Add in Eden’s two best friends, who share a childhood tragedy (each has her own hero waiting in the wings), and, well...this job doesn’t get much better than that. And it all began with three pages.

I hope you enjoy Eden and Cole’s journey as they fall for each other...and overcome a far darker danger from their past that’s lurking in the shadows.
