From Glowing Embers

SMOKE SCREEN

  Lost in a landscape of boiling mud pools and geysers, Paige Duvall wonders if she’s finally descended into hell. The land her mother inherited in New Zealand is not the pastoral paradise she hoped for, a place where the worldly young woman planned to recover from another failed relationship. Instead one wrong step can end her life. Then mysterious Maori sheep farmer Adam Tomoana, emerges from the swirling mists to guide her to safety.

  While she must rely on Adam to guide her home, is it safe to trust this man with her heart? While she’s fascinated by their encounter, only Adam knows that it’s not their first. Both are battered souls; both need healing, as does Adam’s small silent son. But to heal, both must tell the whole truth, and there are secrets in Paige’s past, and relationships she can’t remember.

  If Adam reveals them, will he drive her away, or will he win her love forever?
