The Deadly Race at Blackthorn Ranch
A Romantic Suspense Novel

About this book:

Nora Vance has thirty days to come up with forty-five thousand dollars or lose the ranch that's been in her family for sixty years. Her only shot: the Blackthorn Cross-Country Invitational—a brutal, five-day, 180-mile race across the most unforgiving badlands in Wyoming, where the rules are simple: there are no rules. Sabotage is encouraged. Checkpoints are unsupervised. And the $250,000 purse is blood money. Nora and her horse Copperhead are built for this terrain, but she's not the only rider with a desperation play. Reid Donovan—her ex-fiancé, the man who shattered her world and vanished four years ago—is also in the saddle, riding for a debt he won't name and a syndicate that plays for keeps.

As the starting gun cracks, Nora finds herself caught in a deadly game where the terrain is the least of her worries. Private security shadows every move. A hired gun named Wade Miller has explicit orders to eliminate the competition. And Reid keeps appearing at her flank—warning her, protecting her, igniting a fury she thought she'd buried. With her father's heart failing and the bank circling, Nora can't afford to trust the man who broke her. But in a race where the night stages are designed to kill and the finish line is a moving target, she may not have a choice.

*The Deadly Race at Blackthorn Ranch* is a white-knuckle romantic suspense that gallops across razor-backed ridges and through blind canyons, where love and survival are the same desperate bet. For readers who crave high-stakes action, enemies-to-lovers tension that burns hotter than desert sun, and a heroine who refuses to break—saddle up. The race has begun.
