Suzanne Cass

Her heart’s been broken by tragedy, but will a cowboy’s courage be enough to save her when there’s a killer on the loose in the outback?

Jenna Montrose is on the run from the man who killed her father. Alone and always moving from town to town, Jenna trusts no one, not even the police. She arrives in remote Smokey Creek, outback West Australia, where she takes a job on a cattle station. It’s here she hopes to keep her identity, as well as her mysterious connection with animals, hidden.

Dan Simmonds has demons of his own to conquer, having spent two years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. He needs this work as a stockman to re-build his reputation. But he can’t seem to shake the protective instinct Jenna awakens, when he sees through her lies to her desperate vulnerability. She’s so full of contradictions and secrets, he’s not sure she’s worth fighting for.

When they become trapped together in the desert, Dan admits she provokes emotions he thought buried deep. Jenna is drawn to Dan’s courageous heart and welcoming smile, but desperate not to reveal her secret, will she revert to her habit of running away when the murderer reappears? Or will she let him help her, and turn the hunter into the hunted?

Suzanne Cass’s rural suspense abounds with peril, passion and murder, set in the magical outback desert of Western Australia.

Shadows in the Dust

Pulled out to sea by a rip-tide, Ebony is drowning. Ex-army Corporal, Jay risks his own life to rescue her. But that’s just the beginning of her secrets and lies and soon they’re both caught up in a fight for their lives.

It’s Ebony McAllister’s fortieth birthday and desperate to banish the demons haunting her from the past, she dives into the cold water of the Indian Ocean. She’s running from the burden of an abusive husband and an abandoned child and drifts through life like a gypsy, never spending too long in one place.

Jay Connolly is surfing nearby and rescues Ebony from the angry water. Retired from the army and carrying physical and mental scars from his time in Afghanistan, he’s settled in this coastal town hoping to escape the recurring nightmares. Jay keeps his romantic involvements easy and non-committal, usually with the blonde surfer girls around town, but against his better judgement, he finds himself attracted to this wild, dark woman full of mysteries.

Even though Jay begins to break through the long-sustained walls around Ebony’s heart, when she catches a glimpse of a man who reminds her of her violent ex-husband, she knows it’s time to move on. Then a young woman comes to her clinic for Reiki treatment and Ebony’s life starts to unravel when she realises it’s the daughter she left behind twenty-two years ago. Will she stay and face the truth to protect her daughter from her vicious father? Or will she do the only thing she knows to keep her safe? Run away.

Suzanne Cass’ small town mystery abounds with danger, desire and suspense, set along the beautiful but wild coastline of Western Australia.
