After a terrible accident ends her riding career, horse trainer Rachel Parker returns to her hometown to a hostile welcome. Her efforts to rebuild the family farm are hampered by her sister’s domestic crisis and a violent vandal who threatens Rachel’s new business and her life.

His desire for Rachel is a conflict of interest that jeopardizes everything he stands for. Long buried family secrets, a skeleton, and a corrupt local official with a grudge against Mike complicate the case, but the escalating violence against Rachel convinces him he doesn’t have much time. Whoever is watching Rachel wants her dead. Mike and Rachel race to untangle a web of deceit and lies that stretches twenty-five years into the past—before her stalker strikes again

  1. Welcome to TRC, Melinda!! I am SO happy that you are a recovered banker!! I think that your novels sound great, I love suspenseful storylines with a HEA.

  2. It’s nice to meet you, Melinda. Romantic suspense is my favorite genre and I’ve added both books to my wish list. I wasn’t able to recover from banking and retired instead! I’ll join the crowd and say I love the covers, too.
