About this ebook

A FEAR FAMILIAR MYSTERY THE HEAT WAS ON Burning, scorching, searing heat that's what new sheriff Kate McArdle felt every time she encountered Silver City's fire chief, Jake Johnson. Which was often since a rash of arsons was forcing them to work together. Desperate to identify the arsonist, Kate had even hired a crime-solving cat. Trouble was, far more than the cat's name was "Familiar." Kate and Jake shared a sizzling past one form which Kate had fled years ago. But now, like a moth to a flame, she'd come home to a man who'd once chosen a ranch over her. To a man she still loved. And to a man who was not only the fire chief but Kate's chief suspect. "The wait is over Fear Familiar is back!" Kristine Rolofson, author of The Texan Takes a Wife

About the author

According to her mother, Angi Morgan began creating stories and characters when she was two years old. Drawing blobs of colors on a page, she proceeded to tell anyone within earshot about whatever a two-year-old creates.

Introduced to Harlequin romances by her grandmother, she went through junior high waiting for the next visit to "Mommie's" house. There, she'd search through the inside cover corners for checkmarks, aunts' initials and her favorite phrase: Okay for Angi. That's right, her aunts and grandmother censored which stories she could borrow.

Reading gave her a love for the Harlequin name and story. She still has a lot of her grandmother's books. Angi keeps reading and thinking romance, falling in love with the "Happily Ever After" for each hero and heroine.

An eleventh generation Texan, Angi utilizes her strong heritage to create passionate characters willing to risk everything. She writes Harlequin Intrigue novels where danger and honor collide with love. When the house is quiet, she plots ways to engage her readers with complex story lines, throwing her hero and heroine into situations they'll never overcome...until they find the one person they can love.

Angi had several jobs before taking the opportunity to stay home with her children and develop the writing career she always wanted. Volunteer work led to a houseful of visiting kids and an extended family. College breaks are full of homemade cookies, lots of visitors and endless hugs.

With their three children out of the house, Angi and her husband live in North Texas with only the four-legged "kids" to interrupt her writing.
