Once Struck

by Lynn Michaels

Nebraska, 1873


Alone in the world...


Peach MaCauley has only 40 acres of wheat standing between her and becoming a poor relation. On the eve of the harvest a storm threatens her crop -- and her independence. Only one man steps forward to help her...one man she's not sure she should trust.


Kit Taggart is no longer the dirt-poor boy with soulful brown eyes who kissed her behind the church at the Fourth of July Social. Now he's a handsome, hard-edge ex-soldier. His price for saving Peach and her crop is one night with her...all night, from dusk to dawn.

About the author

My first book was published in 1984 when I was 12. Why are you laughing? Since then I've published 16 books and 2 novellas: two Regencies originally written as Jane Lynson, one paranormal romantic suspense as Paula Christopher and everything else as Lynn Michaels. My husband Michael warned me never to dedicate a book to him, so instead I stole his name for my pseudonym.

Michael and I have 2 grown sons and 1 grandson. We live in Harry Truman's hometown, Independence, Missouri.

Reviews

I enjoyed the story and the setting. I bought the book because it was set in Nebraska and I lived there for about ten years. I loved a lot about the state, so it was nice to visit it via this story. I also really enjoyed the central character, Peach, who was struggling to hang on to her farm. She bested the bad guys herself and did not have to be rescued. Although, since this is a romance, there is a hero involved. Only problem with the book is it missed being copy edited.
