Paula Detmer Riggs discovers inspiration for her stories in her varying life experiences. During the first five years of her marriage to a naval officer she lived in nineteen different locales on both the East and West Coasts, including Southern and Northern California, the Puget Sound area and Newport, Rhode lsland. While acting as a docent in Old Town, California, she wrote and directed historic fashion shows, which led to a fascination with early California history.
In later years she and her husband owned and operated a historic nursery in Oregon listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. They are now happily living in the first territorial capital of Arizona, Prescott, which still possesses the flavor and fascination of the Wild West.
Paula writes romances because âI think we all need escape from the fast-paced, often stressful challenges of the twenty-first century lifestyles that confront us daily, and because I believe in true and lasting loveâand, best of all, happy endings!â
Cassidy Sloane has finally made something of himself after having such a horrible childhood. Heâs a successful rancher, his daughterâs hero and his wifeâs knight-in-shining-armorâor at least he was. These days he canât seems to do anything right. It all came to a head during those 36 hours of that June rainstorm, a time no one will forget. Their daughter almost died in that cave-in. Cassidy blames himself, and Karen. If she would stop choosing being a doctor and put their family first, then everything would go back to normalâ¦or would it? Maybe itâs gone too far already? Cassidy is already losing his wife and heâs about to break his daughterâs heart if he canât find a way to save her horse. Heâs trying so hard, but how much more can a man take?
Cassidy Sloane stood by the wide double doors of the foaling shed and watched the taillights of Dr. Paul Caineâs pickup disappear into a wall of rain.
The pastures would be soup, he thought, turning toward the light and the chores that still needed doing. The sudden motion sent a wave of dizziness sweeping over him, and he staggered. Reaching out a hand, he steadied himself against the barnâs rough exterior.
Pain shot up his shoulder, a reminder of the agonizing, long hours heâd spent fighting the dying mareâs spasming muscles, trying to turn the foal before its delicate bones were crushed. In the end it hadnât mattered.
Golden Girl was gone. And so was her foal.
âBoss, you feelinâ okay?â Billy and one of the younger hands whoâd been helping stepped quickly to his side.
Cassidy offered his ramrod a curt nod. âJust catchinâ my breath before I finish cleaning up.â
âWhy donât you go on in and let meân Randall here do the cleaninâ?â Billy suggested, pulling a cigar from the pocket of his filthy shirt.
It was tempting, but Cassidy made himself refuse. Instead, he stepped away from the wall and took a testing breath. The dizziness was gone. In its place was a heavy lethargy that was almost as bad.
âYou go on home, the both of you. I already owe you enough overtime to damn near bust me.â
