Dear Reader,

Long before I became a Harlequin author, I was a voracious reader of nearly every line, but especially the Romantic Suspense line. A few years ago, the impossible dream of writing for them became a reality. This past year, another came true when I was asked to write for the Colton series.

The unexpected is a pretty big theme in Skye Colton’s story. But if there’s one thing we know about all the Coltons, it’s that they’ve never met a challenge they didn’t conquer. Despite her situation, Skye is plowing ahead...just uncertain of whether she wants the life she left behind, or a new one with Leo Slattery.

Local rancher and down-to-the-bones good guy Leo might be the first person to see Skye for who she really is. Their meeting becomes a crossroads—do they forge ahead together or return to the very different worlds they’re each from? Well, it is a romance novel, so I bet you can guess how it ends. But how they get there? That’s the fun part. I hope you enjoy Leo and Skye’s journey as much as I loved writing it.

Happy reading,

Anna J
