REVIEW QUOTES: "An addicting combination of romance and suspense that grabbed me from page one - don't miss it!" Stacey Joy Netzel, NY Times Bestselling author of the Italy Intrigue Series and Colorado Trust Series. "Barbara Raffin does a wonderful job creating believable characters you can't help but care about and root for in an instant. Raffin had me flipping pages hoping Andi would find her happy ever after. " By Valerie J. Calrizio, author of the Nick Spinelli Mystery Series ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Barbara Raffin grew up a country girl on the Michigan-Wisconsin border, but loves to visit the big city and live the hurried pace now and then. Blessed with a vivid imagination, she's created stories and adventures in one form or another for as long as she can remember. She wrote her first book at age twelve in retaliation to the lack of female leads in the adventure stories she loved reading. But it is a love of playing with words, exploring the human psyche, and telling stories that keeps her writing. Whether a romantic romp or gothic-flavored suspense, her books have one common denominator: characters who are wounded, passionate, and searching for love. Though fans have likened her writing to that of Nora Roberts, Raffin demurs, saying her romances are about ordinary people falling in love. Raffin also likes to give her characters the kind of roadblocks to overcome most any of her readers might encounter in life. She lives in Michigan's Upper Peninsula with her Keeshond dogs Katie and Slippers and her avid outdoorsman husband who continues to support her love affair with reading and writing.
