Love Beyond Danger Series by Diane Holiday

Running from danger, caught by love. With her life at risk, Sarah Cooper hangs up her ballet shoes and flees her glamorous career in San Diego. She assumes a new identity and takes refuge at a horse ranch in rural Maryland. Mucking stalls is a far cry from center stage, and the ranch's so-called "horse whisperer" is the complete opposite of the men she's used to. He's stubborn, sullen, and sexy. Unfortunately, he's also suspicious. Of her... moreRunning from danger, caught by love. With her life at risk, Sarah Cooper hangs up her ballet shoes and flees her glamorous career in San Diego. She assumes a new identity and takes refuge at a horse ranch in rural Maryland. Mucking stalls is a far cry from center stage, and the ranch's so-called "horse whisperer" is the complete opposite of the men she's used to. He's stubborn, sullen, and sexy. Unfortunately, he's also suspicious. Of her. Bruce Murphy trusts his horses, and since the new ranch hand showed up, they've been skittish. Sarah's trouble, and Bruce wants her gone before he loses anyone else he cares about. She challenges him until he can't decide if he should kiss or shake her. But the more time they spend together, the more he sees the truth: Sarah isn't trouble, she's in trouble. Bruce protects his heart as tightly as Sarah guards her secrets, but they each have something the other needs--Sarah needs Bruce to help her stay alive and Bruce needs Sarah to help him learn to live again. less

Free-spirited Maddie Cooper never considered settling down—until Scott Fisher. But when the DEA agent left her with a broken heart and no forwarding address, Maddie dug in deeper with her first love: archaeology. Scott suffered a tragic loss while on assignment and gave up on all the things that brought light to his life, including Maddie. She deserves far better than the dark, dangerous world that consumes him. Staying away from her turns out easier said than done as the man he’s chasing leads him to Maddie’s latest work site. Her spitfire attitude and impulsive nature have a habit of getting her into trouble, and her latest stunt places her in grave danger. After a devastating break-in at her artifacts storage facility, Maddie’s shocked when Scott is assigned to the case. As if his reappearance and the burglary aren’t enough, a ruthless developer has moved to town and tries to bribe Maddie to falsify a survey. She’s determined to bring the crooked man down without any help, least of all from her former lover.  But with Maddie’s life on the line, Scott must win back the trust of the only woman he’s ever loved in order to save her, before tragedy strikes again.  “A fast-moving, exciting novel. The main characters are the perfect combination of charming and complex. This contemporary romance delivers electrifying heat between characters with a sprinkle of humor.” - InD’tale AUTHOR INTERVIEW Q: Why do you write? A: It’s a calling. Characters and stories swirl around in my head, and I have to get them down on paper. Writing takes me to another world where I tap into my creativity. That process is amazing to experience, and while I’m working on one book, plots and ideas form for the next. Raising a family and working meant I had to squeeze in writing time, but it’s always been a big part of me. It keeps my mind active and my imagination fresh. Q: What books do you write? A: Currently, I write romantic suspense.  I love to create deliciously evil villains, but keep violence to a minimum. My books tend to be on the lighter side, focusing more on the romance, but with subplots that keep the pages turning. I’ve completed three books in the Love Beyond Danger series and may try my hand at a contemporary series next. LOVE BEYOND DANGER LOVE IN HIDING (book 1) LOVE UNCOVERED (book 2) Q: Why should readers pick up your books? A: My books are unique. Not the typical romantic suspense. It’s very hard to find anything on the shelf like them. I’m told that people read my books in one day. They have plot twists, secrets, and deep characters. I work hard at creating solid secondary characters who bring even more emotion to the story. If a reader likes to be surprised along the way and enjoys wit, tender moments, and suspense, my books deliver.
