Can
Luke conquer his past and claim the only woman he’s ever loved?
Book
Description:
Magic didn’t just find Luke
Caulfield. It chased him down, bludgeoned him, and has been dogging him ever
since. Some lessons are harder than others. Luke survives by embracing danger
and upping the ante to give it one better. An enforcer for the Coven, a large,
established group of witches, his latest assignment is playing bodyguard to the
daughter of Coven leaders.
Abigail Ruskin is chaperoning a
spoiled twelve-year-old from New York to her parents’ home in Utah Territory
when Luke gets on their stagecoach in Colorado. A powerful witch herself,
Abigail senses Luke’s magic, but he’s so overwhelmingly male, she shies away
from contact. Stuck between the petulant child and Luke’s raw sexual energy,
Abigail can’t wait for the trip to end.
Wraiths, wolves, and humans with
dark magick attack. Unpleasant truths surface about the child and Abigail’s
well-ordered world crashes around her. Luke’s so attracted to Abigail, she’s
almost all he can think about, but he’s leery too. In over his head, he summons
enforcer backup. Will they help him save the woman he’s falling in love with,
or demand her immediate execution?
About
the Author
Ann Gimpel is a mountaineer at
heart. Recently retired from a long career as a psychologist, she remembers
many hours at her desk where her body may have been stuck inside four walls,
but her soul was planning yet one more trip to the backcountry. Around the turn
of the last century (that would be 2000, not 1900!), she managed to finagle
moving to the Eastern Sierra, a mecca for those in love with the mountains. It
was during long backcountry treks that Ann’s writing evolved. Unlike some who
see the backcountry as an excuse to drag friends and relatives along, Ann
prefers solitude. Stories always ran around in her head on those journeys,
sometimes as a hedge against abject terror when challenging conditions made her
fear for her life, sometimes for company. Eventually, she returned from a trip
and sat down at the computer. Three months later, a five hundred page novel
emerged. Oh, it wasn’t very good, but it was a beginning. And, she learned a
lot between writing that novel and its sequel.
Around that time, a friend of
hers suggested she try her hand at short stories. It didn’t take long before
that first story found its way into print and they’ve been accepted pretty
regularly since then. One of Ann’s passions has always been ecology, so her
tales often have a green twist.
In addition to writing, Ann
enjoys wilderness photography. She lugs pounds of camera equipment in her
backpack to distant locales every year. A standing joke is that over ten
percent of her pack weight is camera gear which means someone else has to carry
the food! That someone is her husband. They’ve shared a life together for a
very long time. Children, grandchildren and three wolf hybrids round out their
family.
