Montana Mustangs in God’s Country
I will forever be thankful for being blessed with the
opportunity of growing up in the great state of Montana. Through many well-intended choices and a few
fateful events, my life has allowed me to continue living in what the locals
refer to as ‘God’s Country’. It is easy
to see why Montana has been revered with such a dignified nom de plume. Any day of the week we are reminded exactly
how small we are in the grand scheme of life.
There are days in which the only other creatures I see (aside from my own
family) are the deer outside my window and the occasional wolf running through
our property.
With this wild edge of living come many pitfalls. Just like in my latest novel, Montana Mustangs, we (just like my
characters) are reminded how fickle nature can be and what a fine line we must
walk in order to make it to the next day.
I’m constantly reminded that each day I’m given is a gift that must not
be wasted.
When my family has gone to bed and the day has passed I find
myself unwilling to lose precious moments and I always reach for my
computer. I find that the one gift I want
to share with the world is my passion for the written word. In Montana
Mustangs I found that not only did I get to feed my passion in writing the
book, I also had the pleasure of incorporating my love of my home state. I tried to tap into the romance of the sweet
splendor of a cool fall and the feelings of mystery which always seems to come
when the timbered mountains are illuminated by the full moon.
In this half mountain and half prairie state it is easy to
see the magic in everyday life—and no time more than the spring
when new life begins to peak its head up from the snow-covered ground. It was large, but unencumbered, steps which
led me to writing award-winning and nationally recognized paranormal romance. If you like reading books which are true to
life, but carry a fresh edge of magic—then I whole-heartedly recommend The Nymph’s Labyrinth and Montana Mustangs to you (the first and
second books in the Nymph Series). You
will not be disappointed.
As you read my books, please come to them with an open
heart, be ready to step into my world—a world that has been shaped by the
beauty of God’s Country and the hunger for great fiction. You will be transformed. You will escape. You will love.
Happy Reading!

Book Description:
A
Nymph. A woman with the ability to seduce at will, shift to protect,
but cursed with the fate to have the man she falls in love with die a tragic
death. As one of the ill-fated nymphs, Aura Montgarten has spent her
lifetime drifting from one place to another hiding from love. Until
she meets Dane.
When a body washes
up on the shore of a rural Montana lake, police officer Dane Burke is faced
with the task of finding the killer—even if it means he will be forced to put
his life and heart at risk by working with a drifter. As the truth
of Aura’s Mustang-shifting Nymph ways are revealed, Dane learns exactly the
amount of danger he and Aura are in, but can’t force himself to leave a case
unsolved when the truth is right outside of his grasp.
When the killer
decides he needs to take another victim—Dane—Aura must choose between their
forbidden love and her immortal life… Can there be life without
love, or is death her only choice?
Excerpt:
The beam of the flashlight
bounced over the ground as Dane made his way to the black pickup parked under
the lone street lamp. The plates were from Arizona. She was a long way from home.
The woman stared down at a map
that lay in her lap as he stepped up to the window. He tapped on the glass with
the end of his metal flashlight.
She looked up and shoved the map
closed as she rolled down the window. “Officer?” Her cheeks flushed.
“It’s Deputy Burke.” He pointed
to his name badge.
Her overly large eyes sparkled,
making him shift uncomfortably in his work boots. “Deputy.”
An odd trickle of guilt invaded
him. She was suspicious, but he didn’t need to be rude—he had worked for his
reputation as an even-tempered cop and he didn’t need to blow it on one good
looking blonde. “Or you can call me Dane. That’s my name, Dane Burke.”
Great. He mentally groaned. Now
I sound like a freaking idiot.
“Dane.” The corner of her mouth turned up in a little grin. “How can
I help you? I think I already answered most of the other officer’s questions.”
He pulled a notepad out of his
front pocket. “I just have a few more questions for you. Make sure we get all
of our bases covered.”
She responded with a tight nod.
“Where exactly did you say you
were from?”
“I’m just traveling through.”
“From Arizona?”
Her blue eyes sparked. “Yeah.
Right. Arizona.”
So this was how she was going to
play it? Like she was some kind of hard ass?
A little dream catcher dangled
from her rearview mirror. The blue feather attached to the circle fluttered
lazily in the breeze that filtered through the open window.
He clicked his pen and wrote down
the word Arizona
and her license plate number in a tight scrawl. “Where are you headed to?”
“What does it matter to your
case? I told the other officer everything I know. I stopped, found the hand,
and I called you guys. That’s it. Nothing more.”
What was she hiding? He
instinctively put on his game face. No emotion, no tells.
“Do you have a horse in the
back?” He pointed at the double horse trailer she was towing behind the
three-quarter ton.
She glanced down at the side view
mirror. “No.”
“You moving?” He leaned back and
aimed the flashlight at the trailer, but the light was swallowed by the
darkness.
“The trailer’s empty.” Her eyes
scanned the mirror again, sparking his inner-cop.
“You mind if I take a look?”
“Do you have a search warrant?”
The woman knew her rights. There
was nothing he could do. She may not have had anything to do with the pale,
bloated hand that rested on the shore, but there was no question about it, she
was hiding something. And even if it killed him, he was going to find out.
