BLURB
After attempting to help the FBI
expose a ruthless weapons and drug dealer, Owen Fixx, Amber Kelly enters the
Witness Protection Program. Unfortunately, her sister, who was once married to
said drug dealer, is forced to join her—key word, forced. When Rachel grows
tired of their new life and runs off with a local man, a nightmare ensues for
Amber.
The only person who can help her
is Gage Morgan, an edgy former police officer. The mysterious and compelling
Gage must convince Amber that he is not only on her side, but he is also her
best bet to stay alive.
Amber wants her sister back. What
she doesn’t want is to be attracted to her sexy new protector. But in the
haunted Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, desire trumps logic. And it leaves a
smoldering trail for Fixx’s gunmen to follow.

EXCERPT:
Amber
felt her inner feline rising and offered him a slow smile. “Do I look like a
princess to you?”
“No,
you’re a siren. Beautiful, dangerous, and scary as hell to any man with
functioning genitalia.”
Her
smile faded. “That light behind us is creeping closer.”
“Road’s
improving.”
“Not
that I’ve noticed.” Amber turned in her seat and almost bit her tongue off when
the front tires struck a rock.
“Can
we lose him?”
“Oh,
we can do a lot better than that.” Reaching back, he grabbed her pack and
dropped it in her lap. “We’re on a high point of land. Narrow road, no
guardrails. There’s a canyon on our left. I’m going to slow down at the next
bend. When I tell you to jump, tuck and roll. When you stop, head for the
trees. Take this.” He handed her what looked like a small cell phone. “It’s a
comm link. It has a one-mile radius. Keep it switched on, and I’ll find you.”
Never
in her life could Amber recall having so many instructions fired at her in
under fifteen seconds. “Are you sure—” she began.
But
he cut her off with a firm, This is as slow as it gets, Snowbird. Go. Now.”
It
must have been his tone. Either that, or she’d gone as crazy as he obviously
was. Amber grabbed the link and her pack, shoved the door open, and jumped.
Her
martial arts classes had taught her how to fall without injuring herself.
However, when she factored in the momentum of a moving vehicle, everything
she’d learned about a safe landing flew from her head. She hit hard, tumbled,
and wound up on her stomach with her face buried in a patch of wet leaves.
“Ouch,”
she mumbled.
She
struggled to slow her spinning mind as she rolled over. A series of crashes
reached her from the road ahead. The sound penetrated her mental haze. It also
got her moving.
Head
for the trees, Gage had said. Which trees? There were an awful lot of them on
this side of the road.
Working
herself into a crouch, Amber switched on the link and waited for the light to
blink green. When it did, she zipped it inside her pocket, hoisted her pack,
and struck out for the woods.
She
heard a final crunch of metal on rock and knew exactly what Gage had done. He’d
shot his truck over the edge of the cliff into a fathomless canyon where no one
in their right mind would dare venture at night. If there happened to be a lake
at the bottom, so much the better.
How
long would the diversion last, Amber wondered as she ran. Two or three hours?
Until morning?
A
horrible thought suddenly occurred to her. Halting, she spun to look back.
Gage’s truck had gone into the canyon. But what if it hadn’t been empty when it
left the road?

Author Info
Jenna Ryan was born in Victoria,
British Columbia, Canada, but spent her childhood in several different areas of
the country. She began creating stories before she could read. Growing up,
romance alone had a strong appeal, but as it turned out, romantic suspense was
the perfect fit. After all, what could be better than adding the darker
elements of a mystery to a romantic relationship? And, oh, the fun of those
secondary characters.
Over the years, she has worked in several
different industries, including modeling, interior design and travel, however,
writing has always been her passion - even if she didn't go about it in the
usual way. She earned a degree in Creative Writing from the University of
Victoria in British Columbia and currently lives in a semi-rural setting
fifteen minutes from that city.
