Teenage heiress Kaya experiences her first taste of freedom when she’s kidnapped from her sheltered life. But as she forms an unlikely connection with her abductor, Luke, her adventure takes a strange turn. Now, as her father’s men and her devoted bodyguard scour the woods to find her, she wonders if staying in the arms of her abductor is the safer place to be. At least, that’s what her heart is saying—her head is saying run…
There is nothing magical about growing up in a mountainside castle, when it’s your prison. Kaya’s ruthless and powerful father keeps her under lock and key, watched every second of the day–and Kaya’s not really sure why. She’s just a normal girl…no one special. She doesn’t understand her father’s obsession with her safety – until she is kidnapped.
Dragged through a brutal wilderness, Kaya’s captor shows her the devastating truth, and even though he has dark secrets of his own, she is inexplicably drawn to him–when the stars are in your eyes, sometimes the line between right and wrong gets blurred. Passion obliterates common sense. Love... makes you reckless.
Dangerously passionate and darkly romantic, SERENADE is a page-turning thriller and seductive love story.
**Review
"The suspense is nail biting..." In'Dtale Magazine
"Serenade has a slow burn of a start, but the backstory is important...The writing is well executed, particularly the descriptive elements, something in which I feel the author truly excels. The scenes and action following the kidnapping are fantastic, with enough unexpected twists to keep the pages turning. I'd highly recommend this book to lovers of good, traditional YA with a unique plot." Readers' Favorite, 5-star review**
"It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a romantic suspense this much ... probably since my last Sandra Brown and that is saying something. ESPECIALLY for a first book from an author. Are you kidding me?!? THIS is what you're coming out of the gate with? I'll be stalking library shelves indefinitely for this author - she had me hooked after the first page.Lifetime fan. SO good." Julie Brandenburg, Little Miss Bookmark
"WOW, what an awesome and refreshing read full of love, hate, surprises, mystery, loyalty and everything in between. There was always something happening at the turn of every page. This author truly has a knack for story-telling and spinning it just enough to keep you guessing and needing to read more. This is a spectacular debut read and I highly recommend it." -Jenny Bynum, Black Words White Pages

From the Author
I loved writing this book. Every single moment was an adventure for me. The setting is based on real places I've been that inspired many parts of the story line, from the majestic Banff Springs Hotel, the romantic and rugged Rocky Mountains, to the Canadian Death Race held in Grande Cache - peeps be crazy! True, real, die-for-you love, family secrets, and a strong female character coming of age while surviving the elements, was so much fun to dream up and write about. I hope you enjoy! Views: 376
