About Kat Martin

For New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin, a career in real estate led her down the road to romance.

Through real estate, Kat found her own perfect match--her husband, Western
author Larry Jay Martin.

"We were on opposing sides of a transaction--I represented the seller and he
represented the buyer," Kat recalls.

A short time after the two became acquainted, Larry asked her to read an
unpublished manuscript of an historical western he'd written. Kat fell in
love
with both the book and the author!

"It was quite a romantic story," she admits. "I'd still like to see it get
published." Then, after doing some editing for her future husband, she
thought
she'd try her own hand at writing.

Kat moved on to become the bestselling author of over fifty historical and
contemporary romance novels. To date, 15 million copies of her books are in
print, and she's been published around the globe, including Germany, Norway,
Sweden, China, Korea, Bulgaria, Russia, England, Estonia, Lithuania, South
Africa, Italy, Poland, Thailand, Portugal, Turkey, The Slovak Republic,
Spain,
Argentina, Estonia, Czech Republic and Greece.

When she's not writing, Kat also enjoys skiing and traveling, particularly
to
Europe. Currently, she's busy writing her next book.

AGAINST THE TIDE

About AGAINST THE TIDE

Secretsโ€”and safetyโ€”melt under a midnight sunโ€ฆ Liv Chandler is running for her life, and the cops havenโ€™t been able to do a thing to help. But thereโ€™s one man who makes her feel safe, no matter whatโ€ฆ rugged charter boat captain Rafe Brodie.

To Rafe, Liv is a beautiful mystery, one he canโ€™t ignore. He means to
unearth
her secrets, and in the process, if luck is on his side, maybe the spark
between them will ignite.

But Livโ€™s past is more dangerous than Rafe could guess, and when his first mate turns up dead, she fears that sheโ€™s next. That thereโ€™s something else coming she canโ€™t see. That even Rafe and the remote village of Valdez, Alaska canโ€™t protect her foreverโ€ฆ
