An old life
Versus a new love...
Past haunts are troubling former army man Gary Guzman enough that he turns to top officer Leann Bailey. Gary’s transition to civilian life is eased by his growing feelings for the single mother—Sarasota Falls’s first female cop. But when their investigation of his father’s disappearance unearths decades-old secrets, Gary will have to fight even harder for a future with Leann.

Leann stepped closer, still swaying, seeming not to care that he was holding both her hands.
They were soft and warm, and he had the feeling that if he let go, he would spend the rest of the night trying to reclaim them. He could tell she didn’t want him to do anything but what they were doing. Standing on the dance floor, gazing at each other, touching, with a half smile on her face.
He got it. She was as torn as he was.
But she still didn’t move away from him. Maybe because they were in a sea of adolescents, maybe because the music was a little nostalgic, maybe because she was off duty as a cop or maybe because she wasn’t sure who he really was: friend, foe, stranger, admirer.
Sometimes he wasn’t sure, either.
And Gary’s feet refused to leave the dance floor.
Welcome to book three of the Safe in Sarasota Falls series, set near the Jemez Mountains in New Mexico.
Leann Bailey, our heroine, is a bit different than the ones from my earlier books. She’s a cop, so her job is keeping other people safe, especially her two sons. She’s too busy for romance and she has trust issues. Things become even trickier when Gary Guzman shows up in town and she can’t seem to avoid him. Soon she doesn’t want to. But falling in love means her heart isn’t safe.
Leann is my second cop heroine. She’s tough but fun. It’s a balance most women have to manage. “Hey, Mom, you’re tough but fun.” “Hey, professor, you’re tough but fun.” “Hey, editor, you’re tough but fun.” I could go on.
Above all, this is a romance, and when Leann falls for ex-soldier Gary, she’s met her match in the “tough but fun” arena. Hmm, maybe those three words could be in their wedding vows! “Dearly beloved, we are gathered together to take these two tough but fun...”
