Dear Reader,
┬а
As most of you probably know by now, I began my career writing series, or category, romance.┬аI am very proud of my roots in romance, and consider myself lucky to have served a solid writing apprenticeship in a genre that allowed me to combine various elements in pursuit of a good story.
Because love stories can be told against the backdrop of history or within the framework of mystery, suspense, fantasy, paranormal, and even horror plots, I was able to exercise those writing muscles over time, undoubtedly leading to the suspense/thriller novels IтАЩm writing today.┬аRomance is no longer the central focus of what I write, but it remains at the heart of all my work.
So I give you here a romantic story with an edge of suspense, first published in 1989.┬аLara Callahan has come to the small town of Pinewood to start overтАУand to hide.┬аDevon Shane has come looking for answers. When the wary woman and mysterious man take roles in a community theater production, they risk far more than the judgment of an audience.┬аThey risk their very lives.
Because both of them have secrets. Both are living a lie.┬аAnd both know the first rule of survival is Tell no one. ItтАЩs a rule theyтАЩll have to break.
