Book Overview
A strait-laced bodyguard who can’t compromise on love ...
A terrifying fan searching for his obsession ...
And a former stripper with a son, just trying to get by.
One man could take her heart. The other could take her soul.
Julie Harrington has escaped her pole-dancing days as the luscious Ginger Rose to create a peaceful life in Black Pointe, Florida. Now manager of a bookstore, she’s worked hard to put debt and grief behind her, and she and her son are finally settled and happy.
Julie isn’t looking for a man, but when KnightGuard Security’s Pete Carson sweeps into her life, she can’t help her attraction to the handsome, old-fashioned guy. But maybe Pete is too old-fashioned. He’s anguished by a secret that’s led him to loathe everything he imagines strippers to be. He’s sure Julie is his soul mate—but what will happen when he discovers her past?
While Julie and Pete dance around the truth, a figure in the shadows endangers their budding relationship. Because someone misses Ginger Rose. An obsessed fan has made it his mission to find her and rope her into his delusional world, where she won’t just be a stripper—she’ll be his prisoner.
Julie’s pride and Pete’s prejudice could destroy them both as the stalker gets closer. Pete wrestles with his stubborn ideals and Julie searches for strength as the maniac puts their love and lives on the line. Can they survive and save their hopes for a future together?
BIOGRAPHY I enjoy writing poems, plays, short stories, and cookbooks. I have written grants, newsletters, and newspaper articles, and now I write full-length novels.
Growing up in New England, where summers are sweet but winters are long and cold, has given me many opportunities to expand my creativity.
I have enjoyed: basket weaving, spinning wool, quilting, canning, teaching, cooking, and traveling.
I have been a recipe tester, sailor, farmer, shepherd, cattle woman, chick herder, and Master Gardener.
Like many women, I have worked full-time, raised two children, and helped my husband’s career.
Finally, I get to make my dream come true. After all, dreams never die, and new doors open every day.
Today, I live in sunny Florida with my husband enjoying paradise. In addition to writing novels, I recently took up birding and photography.
My stories are about redemption and second chances.
Everyone deserves both, don’t you agree?
