Her offbeat, addiction-saddled sister is missing. Dana
Vanover always gets stuck dealing with the family crises.
Her mother, now remarried, is no help and hasn't been
since Dana's father left when she was young. If that
weren't bad enough, she is desperate to find her sister
who may be the only person alive that can save her niece
who is in need of a bone marrow transplant. The niece
Dana only recently learned she had because her sister,
Angie, gave the child away.
When she goes to Devil's Claw, TX in search of her sister,
Dana finds more than she bargained for. A grizzled
sheriff whose experiences in Iraq have damaged him both
physically and emotionally. A town full of folks who
don't necessarily like each other but will do anything to
support one another and to protect their way of life from
outsiders. And a dubious plan to build a salt dome by an
unknown corporation. Not to mention the rattlesnakes,
scorpions, and other desert fare.
Circumstances throw Dana and Jay Eversole, the wounded
sheriff, together to solve her sister's disappearance and
the mysterious death of his uncle. Passions flame,
despite their warring personalities and the already
scorching desert temperature.
Colleen Thompson's suspenseful tale, THE SALT MAIDEN,
catches the reader in
its claw from the first pages and doesn't let go until the
end. The story has the perfect balance between the
suspense and the romance, tightly weaving them into a
gripping and satisfying tale. If you're looking for a
book that will completely engross your imagination, this
is the one.
Deep beneath the desert lies a woman’s body, mummified by
salt, abandoned by those who ought to seek her. With her
rests a secret that someone will kill to keep buried
Devil’s Claw
It’s a barren wasteland, the dead center of nowhere, and
the last place Dana Vanover wants to be. But it’s also the
last known address of her missing sister. Determined to
locate Angie, Dana won’t be deterred by suspicious
rednecks, snakebite, or even the grim prognosis of Sheriff
Jay Eversole: no woman could survive more than a week alone
in the burning heat of Rimrock County . But the endless
sands aren’t the only thing hotter than the chili served up
in the Broken Spur café. Despite small-town dirty politics,
a deadly car chase and a dangerous paternity search, Dana
and Jay can’t keep their hands off each other. In the least
populated area of the country they’ve managed to find love.
Now all they have to do is stay alive long enough to
uncover…
