There’s no other way to explain the depth of his feelings for Naomi-or the fact that he and his people might hold the key to unraveling the mysteries of her past. But from the first moment their lips touch, he can’t get enough of her.Īs the passion between them turns into something more, Chaska is forced to admit that his sister is right. He doesn’t share his sister’s belief that fate led him to find Naomi. He left all of that behind for a new life in Colorado as an engineer with an aerospace firm and a member of the elite Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue Team. Raised to feel shame about her body and sex, she is putty in Chaska’s hands as he strips away her armor, exposing the vulnerable woman beneath, awakening desires in her that she’d been taught to ignore.Ĭhaska Belcourt grew up on the reservation, the son of a hereditary Sun Dance chief. Her resourcefulness keeps her alive during a catastrophe in the mountains, but it’s no help at all when it comes to Chaska Belcourt, the sexy EMT who saves her life. Naomi fled the cult-like nightmare of her childhood and learned to rely on one person-herself. I quite literally grew up in the mountains, so it was very natural for me to turn to the search and rescue community for a new series set in Colorado. I come from a rock-climbing family and have personally had my life saved by a rescue team. It’s the most popular subgenre of romance, and I was contractually free to write and publish contemporary romance. That meant I needed something I could publish independently.Ĭontemporary romance was my best bet. I needed a way to earn writing income that put money in my pocket faster and which didn’t give the bulk of what my books earned to a publisher. It takes six to 18 months after a book is turned in for it to be published, and royalties are paid only twice yearly. After my battle with breast cancer in 2014, I just couldn’t afford to write books for New York any longer.
I was bound by contract with Penguin Random House, my publisher, which had the rights to any historicals or romantic suspense novels that I wrote. Why did you start writing a contemporary romance. K: Pat and I are huge fans of your historical romances and of course the I-Team which is romantic suspense.
