WYNTER DANIELS is the winner of a copy of Hill Country Holdup. Thanks again for having me on the island everyone. Make certain you stop by my new website, catch a look at my new book trailer, and enter my contests next week for more prizes.

Please welcome Angi Morgan back for her last day here on the island! Her book Hill Country Holdup comes out from Harlequin Intrigue this month. It’s her first book with them but it won’t be her last. She’s already signed a contract and has another release scheduled for next year so be on the lookout!

So what’s Hill Country Holdup about?

Dr. Jane Palmer had every intention of telling FBI agent Steve Woods he was a father. But the rehearsed lines and practiced responses were forgotten the moment her little boy was kidnapped. Now, heart breaking and on the verge of falling apart, Jane needed Steve more than ever….


After every attempt at putting old feelings to rest, Steve Woods never expected Jane back in his life. Especially not for this reason. Racing against a ticking clock, desperate to earn Jane's trust, Steve still sensed Jane wasn't telling him everything. Which made him wonder why she'd come to Texas in the first place. And what it had to do with the child he'd do anything to rescue.

Excerpt:

"You know you can trust me." Steve said.

"How? How do I know that, after everything that's happened?"

“Maybe because I want to get Rory back as much as you? Didn’t you find anything in here,” he whispered and touched her forehead, “to support my side of things?”

Afraid that the closeness of his body had impaired her speech, she could only shake her head.

“How about here?” He touched her breastbone, just above her heart.

It was an innocent enough connection, but he was so close and leaning closer that it set her thoughts off balance. His warm breath caressed her ear, sending a tremor through her senses.

“If you didn’t really trust me, why did you ask for my help, Janie?”

Janie. She’d always loved it when he called her that. She felt her knees weaken, then mentally shook herself to get her wits back. She tried to push him away, but his hands were firmly planted on either side, caging her. His body didn’t budge, as if he’d been prepared for her pathetic attempt at freedom.

“I shouldn’t have asked, but I thought you would help find...” Dear Lord, she’d nearly said “your son.” Her deliberate acidic tone still didn’t get him to back up, although he momentarily averted his eyes.

His lips skimmed her neck, sending goose bumps over her flesh. She heard his deep breath and withstood the long, soft release across her sensitive skin. He smelled clean like soap. The direct opposite of the muddy picture she presented. His hair curled slightly above the collar of his T-shirt. The urge to hook her fingers through his belt loops fled only when he spoke.

“Before we can go forward, Janie...” He probably knew what that name did to her. “You’ve got to believe I’m the only person who can help you.”
