Into The Sunrise:
About Into the Sunrise:
Love, and children. A simple enough goal, but always out of Dusty’s reach.
She’s tough, successful, and respected for her talents and work ethic, but it’s not enough. Piloting thousands of pounds of horseflesh at breakneck speeds is exhilarating and great fun, but she’d give up her career in a heartbeat for a man she could love and raise children with. A man who could love her despite her many imperfections.
Chase hasn’t laid eyes on Dusty since she was a kid, and is in for a shock when she suddenly shows up on his ranch. But life for Chase has always been complicated by the spirituality of his people. His respect for the Elders is soul deep, and not something he can put aside. Even for the woman he loves.
Travels to the Australian Outback and New Mexico bring both Chase and Dusty a new understanding of Native American spirituality before returning to Canadian ranch country. And years of love, pain and personal discovery are part of the journey to a hard won happily ever after.
Excerpt from Into the Sunrise:
There was a tiny nightlight glowing on the far side of the bed, and the covers were turned down. She peeled off her clothes, crawled in, and instantly wished the room would stop spinning.
The side of the bed dipped under his weight.
“Chase—”
“Did you say your prayers?”
“I’m not a kid anymore.”
He leaned over and braced a hand on either side of her. “No? Then why am I babysitting?”
His warmth spread over her, seeped under her skin. She stared into stormy gray eyes and imagined how they would change, heat up with desire.
And she couldn’t help herself. Wanting to taste him, she twisted her hand into the front of his shirt and pulled him down toward her. “I’m all grown up now, cowboy, and…”
He didn’t resist, and when she’d drawn him down until his lips were only a breath away from touching hers, she continued, “…and I don’t need mistletoe.”
Her other hand slid around his neck, and he made no attempt to pull away while she kissed him until she was wishing she could crawl inside his skin. Reality slapped at her, and she abruptly let him go.
“If you were sober, and I wasn’t babysitting right now, you’d have hell to pay for that.” His voice was low, sexy.
“Talk’s cheap,” she taunted.
He held her challenging gaze for what seemed like forever, and then his mouth was grazing her forehead, her cheekbone, sliding down to her throat. Then stopped.
When she opened her eyes to meet his serious stare, she saw something she didn’t recognize. Slowly, ever so slowly, his lips teased hers until a groan escaped her, and he took possession of her mouth, ignited a fire between them that caught her by surprise. She wound her arms around his neck and gloried in the feel of his hands on her bare flesh.
She slid her fingertips under his T-shirt, touched his heated skin, and he wrenched away. Kept moving until he was out the door and out of sight.
She heard a door slam, and imagined him out on the porch, gulping clean night air while she battled conflicting emotions.
Joy fought with guilt, and there was no clear winner before sleep claimed her.

Hey Maddy! Thanks again for having me as your guest today, and sharing Dusty’s story with your followers 🙂
I’m a big fan of Kathryn’s books. Congrats on the new release!
Just finished reading Into the Sunrise. What a great book. Didn’t want to put it down. It has everything. Horses, Adventure, mystery, romance, suspense , comedy, spirituality and forbidden topics. I laughed, I cried and even got angry.
The story is beautiful and so well told I could visualize every moment and every word.
Like watching a movie with a happy ending.
Look forward to reading more of Kathryn Jane’s books.
