A SAFE PLACE
Alexi Jordan moves to her family's crumbling Florida estate to start over. The house needs work, but that's exactly what she's looking for to get her life back on track after a disastrous marriage and an exhausting career. But after a series of unsettling phone calls and someone tampering with her lights, Alexi begins to fear that her home is far from a refuge. Her neighbor, Rex Morrow, insists on protecting Alexi. She can't deny that Rex is strong and sheltering, but the feelings she begins to develop for him are just as frightening as the series of scary events in her home. As the danger increases, Alexi must decide who poses the greater risk—her mysterious stalker, or the man who threatens to steal her heart… FREE BONUS STORY INCLUDED IN THIS VOLUME! Sheltered in His Arms by USA TODAY bestselling author Tara Taylor Quinn Ten years after doing the unforgivable and leaving Shelter Valley, Sam Montford returns home. But forgiveness proves hard to find…particularly with the one woman he loved the most and hurt the deepest: his ex-wife, Cassie Tate. 
Strangers in Paradise takes place in the area that’s been my home my entire life—with all the good and the bad that come with living in such a paradise! I do love Miami, for all of her beauty, though I admit, of course, we have our problems. We’ve grown too big for our britches in my lifetime; we have crime, and we have craziness. But, still, there’s nothing like a sunset in the western sky, a sunrise, the Deco insanity of Miami Beach, and the beauty to be found in the coral shelves off our coastline. I am a diver—maybe that’s half the reason I love my area so much!
We’re entirely crazy; head down to Key West and you can hear a story about a man who married and lived with a beloved corpse for seven years. Look back a decade, maybe, and you can find a newspaper headline reading “Electric Chair Deemed Dangerous!” Yes, crazy. I see us as the New York City of this generation—we have people pouring in from the islands, South America, and beyond. You can hear just about any language . . . lol! Sometimes, even English! But, we are a great place where we are accustomed to embracing everyone, and that’s what I find most important as we move forward. This doesn’t mean it’s a giant love-in here. We still have our troubles with backgrounds and customs and so on—but we know that acceptance is what we need to grow, and we’re always trying to take those steps forward. I grew up here, and so, of course, I remember being a child and spying on some of the giant old Southern estates we have, even this far South! Hey, Miami might be comparatively new, but sad to say, the American army was down here battling in the Seminole Wars early on in the nineteenth century and there was a fort—Ft. Dallas—on the Miami River hosting officers during the Civil War. It can be hot—but, hey! We’re rarely into the nineties in summer while a lot of other places are hitting the 100 mark. Yes, we’re humid. Okay, you probably will sweat here! But, come on down. The diving is great. Beaches are wonderful. We’re a hop, skip, and a jump from the Florida Keys—and they truly are fabulous. A quick ride along the Tamiami Trail, and you’re in the Everglades. We even have a Venetian palace—Vizcaya! Museums and zoos and theater and art. And, of course, the sun. The golden sun, drenching us each day, and leaving us at night with an extraordinary palette of color. We all see something different in the world around us. But . . . . To me, yes . . . South Florida can truly be a bit of Paradise! —Heather
