About this ebook

Tara Haden is fleeing from her abusive ex-husband. As Ryker Ranch's new massage therapist, she hopes to blend in and build a better life, but her plans go off course when she meets Kace Ryker. He awakens desires that dare her to step out of the shadows, desires better abandoned. Kace was born to race cars, but a crash has left him injured and grounded from racing. Tara and her massages give him hope for another lap around the track, but she has the power to distract him from the thing he wants most. When two people run from the truth, they just might pass by the one thing they never expected to find—love.

About the author

Stacey Wilk wrote her first novel in middle school to quiet the characters in her head. It was that or let them out to eat the cannolis and she wasn't sharing her grandfather's Italian pastries.Many years later her life took an adventurous turn when she gave birth to two different kinds of characters. She often sits in awe of their abilities to make objects fly, it snow on command, and remain dirty after contact with water. She does share the cannolis with them for fear of having her fingers bit off if she doesn't.Because of the extraordinary characters now in her home instead of in her head, including a king who surfaces after dark and for coffee, she writes novels about family: those that we are born to and those that we pick up along the way. You can find her message in her middle-grade fantasy novels as well as her women's fiction novels. Family are those that love you when you need them.When she's not creating stories in make-believe places, she can be found hanging with the cast members of her house, or teaching others how to make make-believe worlds of their own. Stop by for a visit and make sure to bring some cannolis. www.staceywilk.com
