Book Description

February 2, 2004 1594140979 978-1594140976 1
Sharon K. Garner (River of Dreams) returns with a new adventure romance! A double cross that keeps on giving, a Brazilian ex-mercenary who wants to live in peace, a children's book illustrator who's thrust into a danger she doesn't understand with a man she doesn't want to love. Sanctuary is set in the vast agricultural, cerrados area of Brazil. Emily Noble wants to find her missing brother -- a man who has been living a hidden life as a mercenary. The trail leads her straight to Christovao Santos, the man who recruited her brother. All three have been targeted for death. All three have secrets. And the killer knows them all.

Sharon K. Garner, a proofreader/copyeditor and a former library cataloguer, has published several novels and numerous short stories for adults and children. She lives near a lake in Pennsylvania with her EMT/welder husband, who has learned not to twitch when asked such questions as, "How do you disable a big piece of equipment?" or "How long does it take to bleed to death?" Two cats, one that leads her life like a television commercial for cat food, the other like life is going to sneak up and bite her, complete the household. In her spare time the author reads English mysteries and does walk aerobics, both on a regular basis. She's also been known to work as a temp to support her writing habit.


Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Childrens' book illustrator Emily Noble shows up at Christovao Santos' remote Brazilian farm compound fevered, bruised, and armed. She is trying to find her half-brother, James King, who had instructed her to look up Santos if ever he went missing. At first she is held as a prisoner until James himself turns up, who, together with Chris and their African comrade, Sami, are the targets of a murderous madman they had worked with when they were mercenaries. The combination of innocent romance and international adventure will appeal to readers who like hot-blooded yet reasonable protagonists actually willing to wait to consummate their relationship.

More About the Author

Who am I? Well, I enjoy writing stories about love and danger set in exotic locations. And I love throwing the comebacks on paper that I sometimes miss in real life, although I manage to lob quite a few. A former library cataloguer and newspaper proofreader, I keep my hand in with freelance copyediting and proofreading for other writers. I live with my welder/EMT husband of many years, a man who no longer flinches when asked such questions as "How long does it take to bleed to death?" and "How can I disable a big piece of equipment?" In my free time, I read English mysteries and regularly prance around the living room doing walk aerobics. I've recently jumped into the Kindle waters by publishing Sanctuary myself, once the rights reverted to me. My other three titles were put up by their publisher. Pele's Tears, set on a Hawaiian flower farm, comes out in hardback 07/11. I'm blessed with the cover for it, with its bright colors, etc. I believe that when you pick up one of my books to read we have a covenant, you and I. You're spending some of your hours here on earth reading someting I wrote. It humbles me. I hope I uphold my part of the bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!!!, March 23, 2004
This review is from: Five Star Expressions - Sanctuary (Hardcover)
Santuary is a wonderfully written romance set in Brazil. Ms. Garner's incredible attention to detail made me feel as though I've been there myself. Emily Noble is a humorous and adventurous heroine, and I found that I couldn't wait to what could possibly happen next. The twists and turns of the plot kept me guessinng to the very end. This was a great pageturner....I hope to see more of Ms. Garner's work soon.
