Healing hearts and second chances … When Will Tanner stopped her for speeding on a Wyoming backroad, Andrea McPhee couldn’t resist trying to tease a smile out of the brooding temporary sheriff, aching to bring some light to hold back the dark shadows. Her best friend’s older brother has journeyed through hell and deserves to find heaven on the other side – or at least a little peace. Though fiercely drawn to the comfort of her arms, Will isn’t sure he can find room for a woman like Andie in a life focused on vengeance – until he discovers she has secrets of her own. Can a man possessed by the past give the woman who loves him new hope? And can a woman still fighting her own demons be the sanctuary he needs? Originally published in 1997 as Loveswept #833, IN TOO DEEP is available for the first time in digital form. Romantic Times gave the book four stars and reviewer Melinda Helfer said, “Ms. Thayne creates richly textured characters who engage both our hearts and minds in this deftly plotted, emotionally uplifting love story.”
Author
I'm not one of those people who knew from birth she was destined to become a writer. I always loved to read and throughout my childhood I could usually be found with a book in my hands. To the disgust of my friends, I even enjoyed creative writing assignments that made them all groan. But I had other dreams besides writing. I wanted to be an actress or a teacher or a lawyer. Life took a different turn for me, though, when my mother made me take a journalism elective in high school (thanks, Mom!). I knew the first day that this was where I belonged. After I graduated from college in journalism, I took a job at the local daily newspaper and I reveled in the challenge and the diversity of it. One day I could be interviewing the latest country music star, the next day I was writing about local motorcycle gangs or interviewing an award-winning scientist. Through it all—through the natural progression of my career from reporter to editor—I wrote stories in my head. Not just any stories, either, but romances, the kind of books I have devoured since junior high school, with tales about real people going through the trials and tribulations of life until they find deep and lasting love. I had no idea how to put these people on paper, but knew I had to try—their stories were too compelling for me to ignore. I sold my first book in 1995 and now, more than 30 books later, I've come to love everything about writing, from the click of the computer keys under my fingers to the "that's-it!" feeling I get when a story is flowing. I write full-time now (well, as full-time as I can manage juggling my kids!) amid the raw beauty of the northern Utah mountains. Even though I might not have dreamed of being a writer when I was younger, now I simply can't imagine my life any other way. I love to hear from readers.
