Bond Mason's roots run deep in the backwoods hamlet of Trespass, Florida. Nestled against the banks of the Suwannee River, the only home she's ever known holds bittersweet memories of a family long gone. Except one of her ghosts isn't dead and possessive ex-lover James Kyle wants her back.

U.S. Deputy Marshal Nathan Gates sights are set on capturing fugitive Robert Kyle. Wanted for cold-blooded murder of a DEA agent, Robert is suspected of being hidden away with his moonshine-brewing, marijuana-growing family of fellow lawbreakers, one of which is his brother, James.

Nathan expected high temperatures when he arrived in Trespass. What he hadn't counted on is his searing attraction to southern beauty Bond Mason. She winds him around her finger like a tendril of Spanish moss, but his lawman's intuition tells him she's hiding secrets too. When he finally convinces her to talk, he's not prepared for the dark truths she reveals about her hometown.

The Suwannee is deep, but Trespass's sins run much deeper. For once, Nathan might be over his head.

I started reading when I was four, thanks to a babysitter who found the only way to get me to sit still was to put a book in my hand. By the time I entered kindergarten, I'd blown through just about every Little Golden Book ever printed. Ten years later, much to my mother's dismay, I found her stash of paperback romance novels. She tried to divert me back to something more chaste by buying me Harlequins, but I still snuck copies of her Kathleen Woodiwiss's and Johanna Lindsey's when she wasn't looking. Shanna, The Flame and the Flower, and Fires of Winter will always hold special places in my heart because they introduced me to roguish heroes, headstrong heroines, and the trouble they could get into together.

I live in a swampy little corner of north-central Florida with my family, both the two-legged and four-legged variety. I love to read, run hot and cold in regards to cooking, and I never miss an episode of Justified, Longmire, or Dexter. I guess I like justice in all it's various forms.
