Guarding Laura

by Susan Vaughan

SHE WAS STILL HOLDING COURT But the pampered girl Cole Stratton had loved a lifetime ago was now posing as a tennis teacher and on the run for her life. He'd wanted to refuse his latest assignment--guarding Laura Stanton--preferring covert jungle missions to a forced reunion with his boyhood infatuation. Yet seeing the leggy, enigmatic woman Laura had become...well, what he was feeling now was all man .But Laura still had secrets--secrets that went beyond the target currently on her back. Because she was pushing Cole away a little too hard. A little too desperately. He could keep her safe because he was the best at his job. But could he learn why she denied the tender feelings growing between them?

About the author

I wanted to write as soon as I learned to read. I dabbled with stories and poems for years, but didn't start writing seriously until many years later. My favorite books have always been mysteries and romances, so the mix in romantic suspense was a natural. I love writing romantic suspense because it throws the hero and heroine together under extraordinary circumstances and pits them against a clever villain.
My books have been both a Romantic Times Magazine Reviewer’s Choice Nominee and a finalist for the Daphne du Maurier Award. Reviewers have called my books fast-paced, thrilling, action-packed, sizzling, and highly emotional.
I have also published two children's picture storybooks, Sleigh Magic and Stowaways: a Maine Pirate Tale.
I am a West Virginia native but I have lived for many years on the coast of Maine.

Reviews

[Liz · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was surprised by the emotional backstory between these two. I enjoyed it, but it was still surprising for a contemporary romance. Vaughn's style is, as always, engaging but I found certain phrases to be overused here.

[Karine · Rating 3 out of 5]

So much passion burning the main characters, that it was just about leaping out the pages itself. Could hardly put the book down towards the end, I just had to find out who the killer was and what would happen to everyone.
