Kim Gordon's husband was a casualty of the war in Afghanistan. She steadfastly refuses to ever feel the pain of losing a soul-mate again. When introduced to a handsome divorce` with two young children, she shies away from love. Andy Timber is everything she could want in a man, but his job as a motorcycle patrolman is too dangerous in Kim's estimation. Friendship is all she'll offer. That is, until love finally begins to blossom. Then a psychopath begins stalking her teenage daughter, Alyssa, and the tension mounts. Alyssa is nearly kidnapped while riding her horse alone in the forest. When the unthinkable happens, and Alyssa and her disabled friend, Rhonda, are abducted, Kim leans on Andy for support. Terror builds to an electrifying climax with a surprising twist. Action, suspense, and romance are liberally spiced with the unpredictable in this compelling story.

Cheryl Gardarian grew up in Huntington Beach, California. Her love of writing started early and led to several of her poems being published in the National High School Poetry Anthology. However, her parents stressed the need to graduate from college with a ‘practical’ degree. She received a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene at the University of Southern California and began working in the field of dentistry. A few years later she obtained her Real Estate Broker License and opened her own real estate office. She and her husband, Leo, moved to a small ranch near San Juan Capistrano. For many years she was busy raising their son, Brian, who was active in sports and 4H, and caring for their horses and other barnyard animals. Now, many years later, she is finally able to return to her creative side.
