DEE ANN PALMER For twenty years, Dee Ann worked as a professional nurse, raising two sons with her husband, holding office in community organizations, and occasionally writing. Those writings were published and won various awards, whetting her appetite to write more. Eventually, she retired as a public health nurse to concentrate on completing her first novel, Cry of the Bells.
She credits Ron Chironna's cover art with capturing the drama at the heart of this historical romantic suspense.
Jilted by love, Cara Lindsay sails from Boston to Mexico's rugged California in 1833, to start a new life with a favorite aunt. Heartbroken to find her aunt has died, she takes a companionship position to the brain-damaged wife of Miguel Navarro, the tough and irresistible owner of El Rancho Monte Vista..
Miguel's wife suffered this permanent injury in a suspicious fall, and the lonely ranchero's heart opens to Cara's kindness and beauty like parched earth to rain.
Despite fears her life is threatened by unknown forces, Cara's feelings for Miguel ignite. But love may break her heart again, for she would never be any man's mistress. Until ships sail for Boston months away, she's trapped in the midst of danger and an impossible love.
