Spotlight – Surrender at the Border by Risa Leigh #romance @RisaLeigh

StoreyBook Reviews 

I am sharing a book today from an author that works at my alma mater. I met her at the Fort Worth Bookfest in October and wanted to support authors that graduated or work at Texas Wesleyan University. (Go Rams!) I have a few more books that I will be sharing from TWU alumni.

Synopsis

ATF agent B.J. Carleton’s first priority is stopping the flow of guns into Mexico until sassy Callie Snowden finds herself in the sights of a ruthless gunrunner, a man B.J. suspects killed her husband. After the tragedy Callie retreated home to her small Texas town, thinking she’d found safety. Now secrets from the past plunge her into a nightmare.

When she and B.J. are kidnapped by ruthless cartel henchmen and taken into the Chihuahuan desert, B.J. must protect Callie from the killers and harsh terrain. As they run for their lives, the past continues to play itself out and catches them in its deadly spiral. And if B.J. gives in to his overwhelming attraction for her, he may lose everything…for both of them.

About the Author

Risa Leigh lives in Arlington, Texas, close enough to see her grandchildren often.  She was named for an opera singer (Risë Stevens) so it stands to reason that she sings in two choirs.  Risa has a part-time job at Barnes and Noble as a bookseller and storytime lady.  She loves to travel and every time she goes somewhere, she finds a new story to tell.

She is no longer working as a school librarian, but she writes children’s books under the name Risa Brown.

Risa currently indulges that secret fantasy by writing romantic suspense for Entangled Publishing.
