Fletcher J. McKay has been shot, driven insane, and tortured by a madman, so what’s one more psycho coming after her? But this foe’s disturbing attempts to extinguish Fletch’s light leave her shaken. Running out of options, she must consort with the enemy.

Fletcher is undoubtedly Sheriff Noah Reed’s nemesis. Their discord began with an irrevocable outcome of an unforeseeable trauma, but duty demands he keeps her safe. The closer he gets, the more his loathing turns to lust.

Devastated by loss, Fletcher agrees to go into Noah’s protective custody. Passion takes them across the boundaries of their animosity, but is their tentative bond enough? Or is the line between love and hate, as with life and death, fixed.

📙 Thank you for your time in answering our questions about getting published.  Let’s begin by having you explain to us why you decided to become an author and pen this book?

W.L.: From as early as I can remember, I've been a storyteller. This book is the fifth and final book in a romantic suspense series I've been working on for twenty years.

📙 Is this your first book?

W.L.: No, this will be my sixth full-length novel.


📙With this particular book, how did you publish – traditional, small press, Indie, etc. – and why did you choose this method?

W.L.: I've been lucky enough to have my entire series published with The Wild Rose Press.

📙Can you tell us a little about your publishing journey?  The pros and cons?

W.L.:I've been doing this for several years, and the industry has changed so much since I started. So much of this business is marketing. The days of having anonymity as a writer seem to have passed, which is difficult for those of us who are introverted, but we try.

📙What lessons do you feel you learned about your particular publishing journey and about the publishing industry as a whole?

W.L.:You have to do what's right for you, no matter what is trending.

📙Would you recommend this method of publishing to other authors?

W.L.: Again, you have to do what's right for you. Everyone is different.

📙What’s the best advice you can give to aspiring authors?

W.L.: You've got this- just one sentence at a time.
