Kristen Heitzmann Delivers Powerful New Romantic Suspense Morgan Spencer has had just about all he can take of life. Following the tragic death of his wife, Jill, he retreats to his brother's Rocky Mountain ranch to heal and focus on the care of his infant daughter, Olivia. Two years later, Morgan begins to make plans to return to his home in Santa Barbara to pick up the pieces of his life and career. Quinn Riley has been avoiding her past for four years. Standing up for the truth has forced her into a life of fear and isolation. After a "chance" first meeting and a Thanksgiving snowstorm, Quinn is drawn into the Spencer family's warm and loving world, and she begins to believe she might find freedom in their friendship. The man Quinn helped put behind bars has recently been released, however, and she fears her past will endanger the entire Spencer family. As the danger heightens, she determines to leave town for the sake of the people who have come to mean so much to her. Fixing problems is what Morgan Spencer does best, and he is not willing to let Quinn run away, possibly into the clutches of a man bent on revenge. But Morgan's solution sends him and Quinn on an unexpected path, with repercussions neither could have anticipated.

Grabbed this on the bargain shelf and took a chance on it, even though I started “Secrets” by this author months ago and never finished it (ebooks being frequent casualties of my crazy reading habits)...but the good deal and the cover got me. I dove right in without looking it up and discovering that it's actually the third of a series. To make matters more complicated, I even have the first waiting on my shelf. Go figure.
So it's a really good thing that this story stands well on its own. It starts pretty quietly and builds to a page turner with a creepy deluded-prophet sort out to get the main lady, Quinn. There were some asylum cellar scenes that I really shouldn't have read at night, but I couldn't put the book aside (coughing too much to sleep) and shivered through them. I definitely will be reading more of her writing, though I think I'll be keeping an eye out for hard copies instead of ebooks!
