Description:
Katherine Bonner with the golden eyes and a golden, enchanted life is well on her way to becoming a horse whisperer. Tall, athletic, she loves to ride, and she can usually exact good behavior from most wild steed, except from Pierce who bucks her at every crack of the whip.
Pierce is top honcho in charge of the fifteen hundred acre ranch, Bonner-Willow. Although he owns a Master’s in business administration, he loves to be around horses. He considers himself more of a cowboy than a CEO.
When Kat becomes the bearer of unexpected news about her past from ex-convict, ex-lawyer Victor Horn, she wonders how she will ever find her roots and manage to put the pieces of her life back together again. She turns to Pierce, the dark hair and blue eyed hunk whom Kat believes, thinks he is God's gift to women.
Pierce reluctantly agrees to help, partly for reasons of his own. He worries about his lawyerly father being involved with Victor's murder. As Pierce and Kat travel to Chicago together, they walk right into a criminal investigation headed by two bumbling detectives. Kat makes a date with a potential serial killer, and Pierce, whose affection for Kat is slowly changing to one of deeper commitment, worries about her safety. Meanwhile, Kat bumps into a doppelganger she believes is stalking her, only to discover that no one else ever sees her.
Mirror Deep uncovers many twists and turns designed to keep the reader guessing until the end. Through all the action, Pierce remains by Kat's side. Will he be able to hide from Kat his mounting desire? Will Kat find who this look alike is and why she is trying to warn her? Does Kat follow a stranger to Paris, France simply to put miles between her and Pierce or to avoid the threat of a potential killer?
Excerpt:
Kat sensed Pierce’s whole attention riveted on her, which made her sorrow emerge stark and poignant, like a sharp dagger cutting a wedge through her shyness. She had never imagined Pierce might be this gentle, not with her, anyway. His sympathy burrowed a way through, and any vestige of awkwardness remaining in her melted away.
Warily, she bumped her forehead against his chest, looking down at the blue dress shirt he had donned for the evening—he was even wearing a tie. She fingered the edge of the blue crest on the front lapel of his jacket.
He may have been surprised, but he didn’t tease her about the gesture; instead, he placed a hand on her back, which was when he must have sensed her shivers. “You’re not cold, are you?”
She shook her head against his chest. “I’m so scared, Pierce. I don’t know who to turn to, who to tell,” she whispered in a tiny voice.
He flicked her chin up and smiled as he stared into her eyes. “Don’t be afraid, Kat. We’ll find your mother’s family.” He thumbed the tears rolling down her cheeks, cupping her face with both hands. “Please don’t cry,” he begged.
“That’s not why I’m scared,” she whispered. She tried to turn and walk away. She found it difficult to face her fear and Pierce’s glowing blue eyes at the same time.
“Oh, no, you don’t,” he scolded gently, barring her way with his hands on her shoulders. “You’re going to stay right here and tell me what is scaring you out of your wits. You’re trembling, Kat. That’s not like you.”
“Lauren was deliberately poisoned.”
