When Catherine Cantrell first saw Garrick Drexel, he was wandering along a Wyoming highway, a sophisticated city type lost in the wilderness.
Only he wasn't lost; he was escaping. He told her he was looking for something he hadn't been able to find in New York. He was perfectly happy to work on Cat's guest ranch...
And then the trouble started - rumors, investigations, innuendo. Was Garrick, formerly a stockbroker, guilty of fleecing those who had trusted him with their money? Cat prayed he wasn't. For she was growing increasingly certain that she couldn't live without him...
Sharon Brondos began reading mystery/crime/thriller novels about half a century ago when Ellery Queen Rex Stout and Earl Stanley Gardner were in vogue for US readers.
Her "mystery mentor her mother, Elaine, was a dedicated mystery buff, taking as many books from the local library as possible each week and making a tiny mark on the corner of a back page so she would know not to re-checkout that book.
During the following fifty years, Sharon has published two dozen commercial novels, a double handful of short stories, non-fiction articles and poems.
She lives with husband and cats in Wyoming. Three adult children and a growing number of grandchildren are in various locales around the country.
