Lorelei Confer lives on a peninsula in the mid west coast of Florida with her high school sweetheart, now husband, and AJ, her longhaired Chihuahua. In the fourth grade, she wrote her first story—something about getting a shot at the doctors—that was produced by the teacher for parents and students in an assembly. When she was older, she spilled her guts in a journal every night and wrote long newsy love letters to Viet Nam. She is a multi published author of romantic suspense with two series: The Deadly series and the Saddle Creek series. She also has written numerous novellas and short stories. She loves to hear from her readers so if you want to stay “in the know” visit her website, sign up for her newsletters and contact her. www.loreleiconfer.com Rosie’s Diner sits in the shadows of the Grand Teton Mountain range, in the small town center of Saddle Creek, Wyoming. It’s where horse rancher Chase Montgomery first lays eyes on a new waitress’s bruised and swollen face, and beautiful green eyes; his first instinct is to kiss the bruises away. Lauren McCray flees Michigan and heads west to escape another beating from her ex-boyfriend, Clint Jackson. When she sees him looking inside her car outside the diner where she works, she runs again. This time, jumping into the bed of a nearby pickup truck hauling a horse trailer. Chase’s life is enriched when he pulls back the tarp in the bed of his pick-up and finds the green-eyed beauty from the diner. Lauren is running from something or someone, and Chase is compelled to protect her, but can he? Will he be in time?
