“Men and women finding love against great emotional odds and in the face of personal danger—that’s what I attempt to deliver to my readers with each book,” says Morgan Hayes. “For me, the combination of mystery and romance is the most fulfilling. With suspense and intrigue, I’m able to develop the compelling dynamics that, I hope, will keep my readers turning the pages not only to find out ‘whodunit’ but to discover how these characters are going to survive emotionally.”

The inspiration for Hayes’s suspense stories comes from her continued research in Baltimore, Maryland—primarily with the city’s homicide unit. And quite often the inspiration for her characters comes from the admirable men and women behind the badge. With Mitch and Molly’s story, there was the added inspiration of time spent in southwest Michigan at Shady Shores, a family-owned resort that hugs the shore of Dewey Lake just northwest of Dowagiac.

Hayes herself lives along the remote and rocky shores of Georgian Bay, Ontario, but admits that she needs the occasional dose of big-city life, and frequently travels to Baltimore and beyond. Ms. Hayes’s book Seduced by a Stranger won the 1998 Romance Writers of America Mystery/Suspense Chapter’s Kiss of Death Award, and in 1996 her second Harlequin Superromance novel, Premonitions, garnered a Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers’ Choice Award.
