Juniper Falls, Colorado, is just where Quinn Reilly should
be. She's left trouble behind, settled into her own home,
and her business of buying estates and selling items online
is doing quite well. That's how she meets Morgan Spencer.
While Quinn is going through an estate in which she
bartered the contents of the house for cleaning it out,
Morgan decides to buy the house, practically sight unseen.
He finds Quinn in the cellar clearing out some unusual
items. This house had once been an asylum for the mentally
deranged. Intrigued by Quinn, Morgan buys a few items from
her before she has a chance to even think about pricing
them. He writes her a check on the spot.
When Quinn researches Morgan to see if the check is good,
she discovers he is a multi-millionaire business consultant
and author. He seems so real and down-to-earth, unlike
Markham Wilder, the con man/self-proclaimed prophet she is
running from. Quinn testified against Wilder and now he is
out of prison and looking for her. Wilder vowed at the
trial he would hunt Quinn down and kill her. When she
returns home one day to find her house has been ransacked
by Markham, she flees to Morgan for help. Morgan's solution
is quite unconventional. He offers to marry her, take her
away and change her name. In Morgan's mind it's a business
deal. He needs a mother/nanny for his daughter, and
Thanksgiving dinner proved that Quinn is an excellent cook.
In a whirlwind trip to New York, Paris and then to Santa
Barbara, California, Quinn Reilly becomes Erin Spencer. Can
she hide her identity and elude Markham? Will this business
deal become something more personal?
Karen Heitzman has given us an inspirational
thriller with a fresh, unique approach. You'll be riveted
to the pages as Quinn (Erin) and Morgan work their way to
happiness. They are surrounded by a varied host of solid,
believable characters. You'll find sleuthing, psychedelic
drugs, shackled beds and talking animals. This is an
unconventional story about loss, redemption and finding
true love. If you're a fan of this genre, you won't be
disappointed.
Morgan Spencer has had just about all he can take of life.
Following the tragic death of his wife, Jill, he retreats
to his brother's Rocky Mountain ranch to heal and focus on
the care of his infant daughter, Olivia. Two years later,
Morgan begins to make plans to return to his home in Santa
Barbara to pick up the pieces of his life and career.
Quinn Riley has been avoiding her past for four years.
Standing up for the truth has forced her into a life of
fear and isolation. After a "chance" first meeting and a
Thanksgiving snowstorm, Quinn is drawn into the Spencer
family's warm and loving world, and she begins to believe
she might find freedom in their friendship.
The man Quinn helped put behind bars has recently been
released, however, and she fears her past will endanger
the entire Spencer family. As the danger heightens, she
determines to leave town for the sake of the people who
have come to mean so much to her.
Fixing problems is what Morgan Spencer does best, and he
is not willing to let Quinn run away, possibly into the
clutches of a man bent on revenge. But Morgan's solution
sends him and Quinn on an unexpected path, with
repercussions neither could have anticipated.
