Blurb
Can Liza find her place in a lawless
world?
When Liza Trent decided to become a mail
order bride out west, she never imagined her fiancé would die before she
arrived. His death places her in debt, and the only way to pay off the money is
by auctioning off her virginity against her will. When she’s rescued by two
handsome men, she mistakenly thinks they’re assassins. Despite her
reservations, she accepts their protection.
Only the two men, Apollo Beck and Blue
Hawke, aren’t assassins. They’re Texas Rangers sent after a man who preys on
women, and their dangerous hunt has just brought Liza into the line of fire.
Confused with the attraction she feels for
two men, Liza has a difficult decision before her: commit to loving Apollo and
Blue or commit to her burning desire to become a doctor…unless she’s found and
taken for revenge first.

5 writing pet peeves that simply drive me
insane…
1. Work.
Isn’t this the bane of every author’s life? By day I’m a pharmacy tech
in a retail store, standing on my feet all day and dealing with many people. By
the time I get home, my brain is fried.
2. Time. This harkens back to the work
thing, where my brain is fried. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with having too
much stuff going on in my life and not enough time to write. It can be so
frustrating.
3. Social Media. I spend way too much damn time flittering
between Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
4. My muse.
I’m hard at work trying to write out a complicated and scene and she’s
like “Wait! I’ve got this awesome idea
for another story!” Most of the time she wakes me up at three am. Bitch.
5. Character changes. Most of the time I can envision the beginning
and ending to a story, but every once in a while the ending slips away, due to
the direction of where the characters take me.
When that happens I struggle a lot to maintain the plot. I’ve shelved some great stories because of
this.
Excerpt
"It's him," Liza whispered in a
hate-filled tone. "The man who tricked me."
"Reynolds," Blue spat.
"All three of you!" Reynolds
screamed. "You'll pay! You'll pay for everything!"
The gun wavered in an unstable hand. Blue
and Apollo glanced at each other and then charged forward. A shot exploded and
Apollo went down. Blue tackled Reynolds to the ground. The two men rolled
around, each trying to get the upper hand.
Apollo did his best to try to focus on the
two men, but agony lanced through him as he tried to get to his feet. Black
spots danced in front of his eyes, and he honestly didn't know how bad he was
shot.
And then a pair of soft, steady hands took
his away. "Let me see," Liza softly said.
"Uh," he moaned.
"Blue—"
"Is holding his own," she
interrupted him. Though she carefully probed, the pain rippled through Apollo,
and he halted her hand. "You need medical help," she told him.
"Get Reynolds first," he panted.
Her eyebrows arched. "You know
him?"
"I was sent to kill him."
Her mouth fell open, and she looked from
him to where Blue still fought with Reynolds.
"There's a blade in my boot," he
whispered, wiggling his right foot and bringing her attention back to him.
"Give it to Blue."
She hesitated for only a second before
reaching for the marked boot. He felt her hand slide in and grab the hilt. She
slid it free and rose, turning to the fight that had attracted several people's
attention.
"I have a knife, Blue!" she
called out.
In a flash, Blue spun away from Reynolds
and grabbed the knife from Liza's shaky hand. As he turned back, he let it fly.
They watched as it flipped end over end and buried itself into Reynolds's
shoulder, right where the arm and chest met. For a moment, no one moved. Then
the confused crowd rushed to help Reynolds, who stumbled away, and Blue turned
to grab Liza's hand and hurry over to Apollo.
"You need medical attention," he
said without preamble, mimicking Liza's earlier statement.
"Not here," Apollo growled.
"Help me up."
"You should rest," Liza said.
"You think anyone is going to help the
people responsible for burning down half the town?" As he sat up with a
gasp of pain, Blue let go of Liza's hand to help him stand. "Is Reynolds
dead?"
They all looked at the small crowd that had
moved in to help Reynolds when the blade had got him, only to see the crowd
starting to point at them and talk. Reynolds was nowhere to be found.

I like writing about
the very ordinary woman thrust into extraordinary circumstances, so my heroines
will probably never be lawyers, doctors or corporate highrollers. I try to write characters who aren't cookie
cutters and push myself to write complicated situations that I have no idea how
to resolve, forcing me to think outside the box. I love writing characters who are real,
complex and full of flaws, heroes and heroines who find redemption through
love. I love to hear from readers so I’ve made it really easy to find me on the
web:
Happy reading,
love, Raven xx
