Finally Finished New Manuscript

Just finished the first draft of my new manuscript, "Checkmate." The dang thing is almost 800 pages, which means now I get to tackle the job of cutting it down to size! Below is a short synopsis of the new book. Take a look and let me know what you think!

"Caryn Deaver survived a nightmare. Seventeen years ago, her abusive ex-husband bound Caryn and her children hand and foot, locked them in the bathroom, and set the house on fire. They managed to escape with their lives, and Dan Hamilton was sentenced to twenty-six years in prison for the crime. He’s due for mandatory release now, though, and Caryn is sure her days are numbered—unless she can convince the Parole Board to keep him behind bars.

Zach Riker is the Fire Chief in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He was on the scene seventeen years ago when Caryn and her children barely escaped their burning house with their lives. He and Caryn form a quick bond when he is asked to testify at her ex-husband’s parole hearing, but, despite the mutual attraction, neither of them is willing to test the waters of a 40-something romance and become more than just friends.

Love becomes the furthest thing from their minds, however, when Dan Hamilton is released from prison and begins his reign of terror anew—and this time he’s determined to kill them both."
