From USAToday bestselling author Jean Brashear, the sequel to TEXAS REFUGE… Hollywood superstar Josh Marshall is on his way home to Texas when he rescues a woman on the run. In contrast to the many women crushing on him all over the world, this woman does not trust him and wants nothing to do with him, seeking to escape every time his back is turned. But Josh is a white knight to the core and cannot stop trying to help her, even when she won't tell him the smallest thing, such as her name. Elena Navarro is running from an abusive husband who's on her trail because of what she knows about his criminal activities. Terrified to trust anyone, she finds Josh's tender care a miracle, but his fame could be a death sentence for them both, should they be found. Josh is due on set but refuses to leave her until she is safe, and she is equally determined not to involve him in her nightmare, increasingly aware that the only chance she may have to grab for a dream is to find the courage to return and face the man who has terrorized her for seven long and lonely years. "Jean Brashear writes with warmth and emotional truth. The depth of her understanding of human nature marks her as a writer to watch." ~Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Jean Brashear will knock your socks off!" ~New York Times bestselling author Stella Cameron "Jean Brashear is a writer of rare talent." ~Affaire de Coeur
Author
A letter to Rod Stewart resulting in a Cinderella birthday for her daughter sowed the seeds of New York Times and USAToday bestselling author Jean Brashear's writing career. A lifelong avid reader, at the age of forty-five with no experience and no training, she decided to see if she could write a book. It was a wild leap that turned her whole life upside down, but she would tell you that though she's never been more terrified, she's never felt more exhilarated or more alive. She's an ardent proponent of not putting off your dreams until that elusive 'someday'—take that leap now. Over fifty published novels later, the five-time RITA finalist and RTBookReviews Career Achievement Award winner has accumulated a whole passel of war stories to swap and loves nothing better than talking writing and books with readers and fellow writers. And she'd still take that leap, war wounds and all.
