Romance Contemporary | Thriller Psychological

Faith Barclay is in need of some time off to find out what she wants to do with the rest of her life. As an Assistant District Attorney in Philadelphia, two major cases got screwed up on her watch. There's a stalker out on the street -- a monster searching for his wife and children when he should be behind bars. She also has an innocent dead man on her conscience.

Faith returns to Blue Moon Mesa in Thunder Creek, Wyoming, her childhood home, and back to Zach MacCullum. Ten years earlier, she and Zach lived and breathed for one another.

Zach gave up wanting to "have it all" a long time ago. Now his wants revolve around his business and his son -- his lifeline. But old memories return. Maybe there's a reason Faith is back in Thunder Creek. Maybe fate is trying to tell them something.

Strange and harrowing incidents begin to happen, and Faith is starting to feel edgy, like she's in great danger. Zach let Faith go once. Now that there's a flicker of hope for a new start, he'll do everything in his power to keep her safe.

You'll enjoy Ms. Gregory's latest romantic suspense thriller as we return to Thunder Creek. The story line lures us into its web from the first pages. Don't miss THUNDER AT DAWN, an explosive and heart-stopping adventure.

SUMMARY

TWO LONG-AGO LOVERS. ONE UNFORGETTABLE PASSION. Prosecutor Faith Barclay has made a successful career putting bad guys behind bars. But the work is starting to get to her. Haunted by the one misstep that set a stalker free, Faith escapes to her family’s cabin in Thunder Creek, far from the big city and the recent menacing calls that have her spooked. When she arrives, she encounters another kind of danger: Zach McCallum, the sexy, wild-hearted cowboy who walked out on her ten years before. A SECOND CHANCE IN THE TOWN WHERE IT ALL BEGAN... Zach will never forget those hot, lazy nights in Faith’s arms he prayed would never end. Now the beautiful attorney is back in the Wyoming town where they first tasted passion, and this time Zach is determined not to let her get away. But someone else is watching over Faith, leaving threatening messages–someone who has tracked Faith all the way to Thunder Creek. And as passion and danger ignite, it’s up to Zach to protect the fiercely independent woman he never stopped loving–no matter what the risk....
