School teacher and advocate of abused children Hannah Cassidy invades a private retreat in the N. Nevada wilderness. Ignoring posted No Trespassing signs and the property's angry owner, she dismisses his threats and demands that he reveal her missing brother's location.

Nicholas Benteen, ex-mercenary and former CIA covert operative, assumes she is yet another adversary intent on exacting lethal revenge for his past deeds.

He will fight to the death to protect the sanctuary he has created for himself and those from his past he has vowed to safeguard. Even as Hannah penetrates Nicholas’s isolation and melts the ice that encases his weary heart, she is seduced by the sensual, battle scarred veteran and the dark secrets of his past.

3 GOOD QUESTIONS with Author LAURA TAYLOR

NFE: What book or books kept you up all night reading?  And Why?

LAURA TAYLOR:  Most recently?  Barry Eisler's THE DETACHMENT.  I live a double life as a veteran women's fiction author and as a veteran freelance editor. In my editorial practice, I work primarily (and confidentially) with international thriller writers, both established and about-to-debut authors.  I'm also a dedicated thriller reader.  THE DETACHMENT is the most recent book from Barry Eisler for his John Rain series, and it did not disappoint!  What sets the novel apart for me is that the author exceeded the high standard he established in previous books in the series in his first foray into the ranks of indie book writers, having declined a lucrative book contract from a traditional publisher with whom he had an established relationship.  This reader will remain faithful to Barry Eisler, because he fully grasps and embraces his responsibilities to his readers.  He is a gifted storyteller who excels at characterization, story tension, and layered personal and situational conflict.  Barry Eisler also possesses a gift for conveying a viscerally satisfying, albeit pragmatic, code of honor that resonates in the life and death decisions made within the framework of each one of his books. 

NFE: Would this book (Intimate Strangers) keep you up all night if you hadn’t written it?  And Why?

LAURA TAYLOR:  In a nutshell, yes!  Like Barry Eisler and most other writers, I endeavor to pen a tale in such a compelling manner that readers cannot set aside the book until they reach the final sentence of the story.   When I wrote Intimate Strangers, I deliberately created an emotionally intense and sensual novel for my established global audience of romance readers.  Recognition of my name by romance readers conveys an implicit promise that I will meet their expectations of a sensual, dramatic, and well-crafted story with a happily-ever-after conclusion.  With 22 published books to my credit, you can probably tell that I take quite seriously my responsibilities to my readers.  The ultimate reward, aside from being able to indulge my own creative passion, occurs when romance readers praise my books and eagerly await the next one.

NFE:  Give us some links where we can find out more about you?  (See, isn’t this an easy Interview?)
