More About the Author

A Central Virginia native whose family's Richmond roots run as deep as the nation's, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Mary Burton graduated from Virginia's Hollins University and began a career in marketing. After a decade she left her job and began writing. Her first novel, a romance, was published in 2000.

Following that book, Burton wrote sixteen novels and novellas for Harlequin and Silhouette before entering the dark world of multiple murderers and their motives with Senseless, Merciless, Dying Scream, Dead Ringer and I'm Watching You, as well as her novella Christmas Past, which appears in the 2008 New York Times bestselling holiday anthology Silver Bells.

Her commitment to realism has led to eye-opening interviews with law enforcement, to forensic seminars and to the firing range. She is a graduate of the Henrico County Citizens Police Academy and the Richmond FBI Citizen's Academy, and has participated in Sisters in Crime's Forensic University program. Recently, she attended the Writers Police Academy in Jamestown, North Carolina. There she attended seminars on autopsies, undercover work and the motives behind murder.

Mary Burton is an avid baker and an accomplished cook. When not writing, researching or baking, Mary practices yoga, enjoys her miniature dachshunds Buddy and Bella, volunteers at the University of Richmond's Culinary Arts Program, attends professional conferences, and visits with readers and booksellers.

This review is from: Colorado Bride (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

Cole McGuire needed a good reason to return to White Stone, Colorado.
In 1882 Cole received a letter from Lily dated 1879 telling him that he was to become a father. Suprising news from his former mistress. But he knew that she would not lie to him.
For some reason the whole town seemed to be hiding the true story of what happened to Lily and his son.
He is told that Lily and her baby died in childbirth.
He approaches Mrs. Curtis Taylor, the lady that wrote the letter for Lily, hoping to find out the truth about his child.
Rebecca is being courted by the sheriff who causes some trouble and tries to keep Cole from seeing her.
Rebecca's heart stopped when Cole rode back into town and she wished more and more for a love she'd never had.
But would Cole ever forgive her for hiding the truth -- that the son she claimed as her own was the child he'd been searching for?
This book is highly recommended -- you will really enjoy it.
