Hi Christi, thank you for visiting the blog today, tell the readers a little about yourself.
Hi Elodie,
My
fiction is contemporary, so the settings and the characters are completely
modern and struggle with today’s issues. But the men and women in my writing
leave a big footprint, because their personalities and their solutions to
problems hark back to the iconic days which really don’t exist anymore. My
characters truly live by the Code of the West.
I write sensual romance set in Wyoming. My strong heroines
love cowboys and lawmen! I love hearing from readers, so please contact me.

Perilous
Promises is the second sensual contemporary romance in the Hawk Point

Perilous
Promises
She
can survive anything except the men who love her.
Perris Dalton doesn’t need a man. She
left southwest Wyoming broken, so transformed by fighting cancer even her big
hunk of a lawman couldn’t make love to her. Now she’s back.
Her new job is to mitigate conflicts
with raptors at a power plant’s coal mine. There’s no reason for her path to
cross her ex-husband’s. But when an environmental demonstration inexplicably
centers in on her, Sheriff Noah Dalton steps in, confident he can win back the
woman who once walked out on him.
As the demonstration spirals into
personal attacks, Noah, Perris’s father the sheep rancher, and her brother the
college student hatch a secret plot to protect her.
In an epic contest of wills with a lone
woman survivor used to solving her own problems, and three Western heroes just
as determined to save her, all hell starts to break loose.
Perilous
Promises excerpt:
Noah pushed the brim of his brown Stetson back. His lengthy
perusal brought him to the realization that Perri looked good this morning.
Real good. Anger had always given a tinge of healthy color to her cheeks and
made her green eyes sparkle, almost akin to the look she had after a vigorous
session in bed. She was as beautiful as ever. He knew a hello kiss with a
tongue-mating session to get reacquainted was probably out of order, and so he
meant to just drink his fill of the sight of her while he had the chance.
Perris gripped the steering wheel to still her quivering
fingers. She remembered all too well the familiar intimacy in Noah’s voice. For
a moment she forced herself to keep looking through the front windshield at the
yelling protesters as she fought to control her breathing. Her heart beat
frantically, like a sparrow trapped in her chest. That low resonance in his
voice had once been enough to have her eagerly shedding her clothes while he
grinned and tugged off his own. She could still feel his hands on her, hot on
cool flesh, and the memory of what his hands had once done to her was enough to
make beads of perspiration pop out and begin to trickle down between her
breasts.
She turned her head slowly, as if afraid her rigid neck
would break if she made too sudden a move in Noah’s presence. She looked at a
familiar brawny chest straining the seams of a crisp white uniform shirt, and
then her eyes traveled up the column of his corded neck. A square,
smooth-shaven jaw framed generous lips curved into a smile tilted at one
corner.
Above a slim, straight nose were light blue eyes gone steel gray in the
early morning sunlight. She remembered those odd, changeable eyes. Eyes that
could glint silver with concern, or melt her with a baby blue gaze. Their
present flat steel tint indicated strongly to Perris that Noah, too, was hiding
his true feelings.
She hadn’t expected to see those mercurial eyes up close
ever again. Or that lean jaw, thick blond hair, strong arms and long
legs...Dammit, would you stop it! she chided herself. Just stop repeating that
litany right now. You don’t miss Noah. You don’t need him, or any man, in your life.
Noah stared at Perris across a distance of years and two
much changed lives. But five long years weren’t enough to prepare her to meet
him once again. She realized with another jolt to her battered heart, that if
she told the truth, maybe the rest of her life wouldn’t be long enough to
forget Noah Dalton.
She dropped her eyes again to his immaculate white shirt
with three stars on each collar point and the big silver star over his heart.
She knew the significance of that shirt. Why hadn’t she seen its crisp
whiteness coming toward her, recognized the meaning of the color that
distinguished his rank from the tan shirts of his deputies?
Probably because Noah hadn’t been wearing white when she
decided to leave him. When Perris divorced Noah five years before, he’d worn
tan. He hadn’t yet been elected sheriff of Powell County.

Hi Elodie, Thanks for featuring Perilous Promises on your blog today. I hope anyone who picks up a copy enjoys this gently humorous look at the stereotype of the strong, silent Western hero!
