    About this ebook

    Emily Converse never expected to return to Tamarack, Colorado. But she's determined to rescue her drug-addicted brother and start a new life. Standing in her way, she finds her stepfather, a powerful US senator, looming over her future like the ever-present monster he'd been during their childhood. Meeting wounded retired Navy SEAL, Michael McCandlis, is a steamy surprise in her homecoming, though he's adrift in civilian life. Together can they find a way to transform from victims to survivors?

    Jayne York

    I've been an avid reader and sometime writer all of my life. I've never been able to resist the draw of a good story and that has been true in my professional life as well. I was raised as the third of three children in the Colorado high country. Early on I discovered the joy of creating hand crafted jewelry which lead to a forty-five year career as a professional jeweler. Every customer, every piece has its own story and I've collected them like pearls in a strand. It's an honor to use them as a jumping off point for this tale and those that will come in the future. If you're looking for me, you'll find me on the shores of a northern lake hammering away on my next tale.
