Produktbeschreibung

Karlie Nilsen, owner of Kaffebar coffee shop in Blue Harbor, South Carolina, isn't who everyone thinks she is. Almost three years ago, she did "the right thing," which resulted in her having to change her name, her location, and her profession to hide from some bad men seeking revenge. Understandably, she hasn't told a soul in town her story. She'd be in danger if she did, and, worse, so would her elderly dad, who has Alzheimers and now resides in a nursing home miles away. Safely harbored, Karlie keeps her secrets until a sweet Muslim friend is accosted by a racist redneck outside her shop. Oblivious to consequences, Karlie rushes outside to stand up to him and winds up punching the guy. She helps her friend back inside the shop, unaware that most of the witnesses who watched but didn't help videoed the whole incident on their cellphones. Karlie is quite surprised to find the altercation on Facebook that night-the old David and Goliath scenario, only David is a single barista who can't afford to have her face plastered all over the net. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happens. The video goes viral, popping up on other social media outlets until it finally hits a cable TV good news network. There's no hiding anymore, so it's no real shock when an agent shows up to talk about her safety options now that her cover has been blown. What's shocking is that he isn't the agent she's always worked with. On top of that, the Department of Justice has apparently turned over its ensconced witnesses to a private company, Singular Safety Solutions. Aaron checks out okay, but the DOJ never contacting her about these changes is highly suspicious. Karlie can't help but wonder if he's for real. To make matters even more confusing, Ty Delaney, the high school crush who broke Karlie's heart years ago, also shows up in Blue Harbor unexpectedly. He looks as good as he did way back when, and her heart certainly wants to believe his claims that he has changed. Ty says he has been looking for her for years and is there because he saw her on TV and wants to apologize for the way he treated her. His timing stinks, and neither man likes the other. Does she dare risk trusting either of them?

Autorenporträt

Linda Palmer admits it all started when she fell in love with Roy Rogers in the fifties. The family TV was boxy; the picture was black and white. That didn't matter. Roy's cowboy courage won the day and inspired her to create elaborate scenarios when playing with her sisters and friends outside. Indoors, she read romances in every genre from Sci Fi to Gothic. Linda began writing for pleasure in the third grade, mostly poetry, and has letters from her grade school teachers predicting she'd be an author. Her poems eventually became short stories; her short stories became books. And even though a writing career was never actually a dream, it was something she pursued with intent after winning some writing contests and joining local and national writers' groups.

Silhouette Books published Linda's first romance novel in l989 and the next twenty over a ten-year period (writing as Linda Varner, her maiden name). In 1999 she took a ten-year break to take care of her family, but learned that she couldn't not write. She began again in 2009, changing her genre to young adult/new adult paranormal romance. She has now written over a hundred novels and novellas ranging from traditional romance to erotica. Linda was a Romance Writers of America Rita finalist twice and won the 2011 and 2012 EPIC eBook awards in the Young Adult category. She was also a finalist in that category in 2013 and in 2014.

Linda has been married to her junior high school sweetheart over fifty years and lives in Arkansas, USA with her family. Ever a hopeless romantic, she still falls for unattainable Hollywood heroes that inspire her to write romances about alpha males and the women who stand up to them. Linda hints that her current crush's name starts with Tom and ends with Hardy. Her website is www.lindavpalmer.com. You can also find her on Facebook: Linda Varner Palmer.
