Fire in the Foothills

From the moment Tory's eyes catch the cold steel of Steve's in the smoky mirror of the bar, she experiences an unease she cannot shake. When he blocks her vehicle on a lonely stretch of farm road later that night, she is terrified but determined not to go down without a struggle. As the layers of this man with a history of violence are revealed, Tory wonders if she has bitten off more than she can chew. She came west to comfort an aging aunt, prepared to stay for only two months. She is not expecting a life sentence.

A colorful thread of humor, honesty, and raw emotion weaves through this tale fraught with suspicion, murder and hope.
