BLURB: 

The motion picture, Retribution, could be the big break Alexandra Martel has been waiting for. A Canadian movie star and strong female lead, even greater success may be within reach. But she also envies her married sisters, and has been hoping to meet her own soulmate.

 Dr. Beau Remington, handsome male lead is the hometown veterinarian. He’s been contracted by motion picture execs to be on set when animals are called for, so when he and Alexandra eventually cross paths there is undeniable chemistry. However, Hollywood heartthrob James Langford has already laid claim to the striking young actress and tries to stop the budding romance. 

Then everything changes at sunrise one morning when Alexandra goes for a run alone in the picturesque Belleisle, New Brunswick countryside. That’s when the man who’s been stalking her for weeks finally makes his move. She must endure the terrifying ordeal of being kidnapped and drugged in this Eastern Canada romantic suspense.

EXCERPT 

The old dog, soaked from a tumble into the icy water and limping badly, continued to pick its way along the creek that rushed between steep boulder-strewn banks. Beau Remington, far above on horseback, spotted the bedraggled canine and quickly dismounted, clamoring down the embankment toward it. With one arm wrapped around a sturdy yellow birch to anchor himself, he stretched forward to scoop up the small dog and slipped it inside his jacket. Steadying the terrified animal with one hand he then began the climb back up to the trail where his horse, Chance, waited patiently. 

He talked to the dog soothingly, the rich timbre of his voice comforting as the shivering slowly began to subside within the warmth of leather on a cool spring day. Beau urged the gelding into a trot for the final half-mile to his ranch nestled deep in the rolling hills of Belleisle, New Brunswick, Canada’s picture province. He loved the quiet solitude, but soon the area would have some unlikely visitors when they started shooting the movie, Retribution, a few miles up the road. As a veterinarian he’d already agreed to be on set when animals were scheduled to appear in the movie, so it should be an interesting experience.

 The dog whimpered plaintively against him, reigniting Beau’s anger at the insensibility of some selfish, cold-hearted pet owners. This had definitely been a dump, an old dog, half-blind and likely no longer wanted. The poor thing had either been lame before being abandoned, or injured in the fall, and it was because of situations like this that he’d dedicated his life to animals.

What makes your book different from any other book in this genre? 

What makes Sunrise Interrupted different is that it is the only book of its kind that takes place in the countryside of rural New Brunswick, a province that not many people know about outside of Canada. That setting is actually found on Canada’s East Coast. To add to its mystique, New Brunswick is known as the picture province of Canada, and the scenery here is some of the most picturesque in the world. My readers will get to visit beautiful Belleisle Bay which is actually a fjord like finger of the 450-mile long St. John River, aptly called the Rhine of North America. 

There is the age-old romantic pull between lead characters Alexandra and Beau, but each romantic scenario is as different as the people who are involved. The theme may be similar, but the circumstances and challenges are always unique. In this case a no-frills, country veterinarian meets a bona fide, glitz and glamour movie star. The chemistry is there, but who will give up what to be with the other? Or will either of them? 

And here’s something a bit different, a bit quirky. Dr. Beau Remington, a bona fide animal lover, has three horses that are all rescues. But what are the chances that all three, coming from different situations, would all be named Chance? But they are, and he decides not to rename them. Each animal knows when he’s talking to them individually and reacts accordingly. 

Lastly, but what is perhaps most compelling, is what happens when the stalker makes his move. It’s a very unique situation. Of course I can’t divulge the ending and spoil the book, but I’m sure most would agree he commits a most reprehensible crime.
