Karen Kirstová je autorka, ktorá čerpá inšpiráciu z prostredia východného Tennessee a Veľkých dymových hôr. Po rokoch usilovnej práce dosiahla svoj sen, keď jej rukopis zaujal vydavateľstvo Harlequin Love Inspired Historical. Vo svojej tvorbe sa venuje romantickým príbehom, ktoré sú ovplyvnené jej vierou a osobnými záujmami. Jej písanie odráža jej život ako manželky, matky a oddanej rozprávačky.
When a riding accident strands socialite Caroline Turner overnight with the new stable manager, she gets the one thing she never wanted -- a husband! Marrying the infuriating Duncan McKenna wouldn't have been her first choice, but with her reputation damaged, it's her only one. Still, something about the brash, rugged Scotsman fascinates Caroline.
"I'm not leaving you." He made a promise to protect her. Back in her hometown, Tori James never expects to spend time with her ex-fiancé -- until someone blows up her car. Now she has a target on her back, and accepting Staff Sergeant Cade McMann as her bodyguard is her only hope of staying alive. But even as Cade and Tori are drawn back together, a killer is determined to tear them apart for good.
