Can he stop history from repeating itself and save her

Cat Edwards has spent her life playing the wallflower in an effort

by her best friend in an effort to forget a broken heart, the shy bookworm is determined
to be someone else for the night, but quickly gets in over her head. She discovers
chivalry isn’t dead after all when a mysterious stranger comes to her rescue. He’s
wearing black leather and a mischievous smile that promises to be exactly what she
needs.
When his terminally ill father suffers a setback, Michael Brant
returns to the town he swore ten years ago he’d never return to. He’s come back
this time determined to make peace with the past, but being home brings up memories
he doesn’t want to remember anymore. His first night in town, he’s captured by a
damsel in distress. Cat’s beauty is made all the more alluring when he realizes
she has no idea who he is. He can’t resist spending a single night in her arms.
With her, he’s only a man, disconnected from his family’s name and the past that
haunts him here.
As the town erupts with the news of his return, Michael’s dark
past comes back to haunt him, putting Cat in danger. Someone is threatening her
life and the life of her family. Desperate to keep history from repeating itself,
Michael offers her his family’s name in order to keep her safe. When the lie spirals
beyond their control, can they stop their hearts from becoming entangled as well?

Interview with Michael Brant
Tell us about yourself.
Cat calls me a reformed
bad boy. I was a rotten kid, with a chip on my shoulder as big as the state of Oregon. Now, I’m determined
to make up for all the wrong I’ve done. I was born into a wealthy family, and I’ve
done rather well for myself, but I’m a simple kind of guy. I like watching the stars
at night and taking a cold swim first thing in the morning. I also like working
with my hands. I own a custom bike shop in L.A. We’re opening a second one here in Crest
Point. I’m happiest elbows deep in engine grease.
Tell us about Cat.
I’m not entirely sure
I deserve her. She’s sweet and quiet. She works in a bookstore with her father and
that’s exactly where she belongs and what she loves—to be elbows deep in a stack
of books. She’s at home there. She has the biggest heart of anybody I know. My presence
in her life turned her entire world upside and put her life and the lives of her
family in danger, but she still stood by me. I’m lucky to have her.
What do you think is your strongest point?
I’m not afraid to stand up for what I think is wrong. I’m not
afraid to be me. Even if people hate me for it.
What would Cat say is your strongest point?
That I’m not afraid to
put myself in harm’s way to protect the people I love.
What would Cat say is your biggest weakness?
I keep to myself too much and don’t let people in enough. *smiles* She says I’m broody.
What was it like where you grew up?
I was born in Crest Point, Oregon.
It’s a small town, maybe a couple thousand people all together. It’s got it’s good
point and bad points. Just about everybody knows everybody else, which means neighbors
look out for each other. They’re also a tad on the nosy side. Cat likens it to living
in a fish bowl. You can’t do anything without the entire town knowing about it.
The people here are good people, though. They’ve managed to forgive for being a
hateful teenager.
What do you wish was different about your life?
All the rotten things
I did as a kid. Now that I’ve grown up, I see things a bit differently. I see the
hateful that I was, holding in too much anger and hurt and letting my wounded pride
get in the way.
If you were given your fondest wish, what would it be?
I’d bring Kay back. She
died because of me, and I’d give anything to bring her back. She didn’t deserve
to die so young.
Describe a place of perfect refuge.
*rubs his chin and stares thoughtfully* Let’s see, she’s about five foot five, slender
body and willowy limbs, with long brown hair and the most beautiful jade eyes I’ve
ever seen. *smiles* Cat. She’s my
refuge.
