Perilous
Promises blurb:
Her
ex-husband wants to save her. Her brother wants to save her. Her co-workers
want to save her. She can survive anything except the men who love her.
Perris Dalton doesn’t need a man. She
left southwest Wyoming broken, so transformed by fighting cancer even her big
hunk of a lawman couldn’t make love to her. Now she’s back.
Her new job is to mitigate conflicts
with raptors at a power plant’s coal mine. There’s no reason for her path to
cross her ex-husband’s. But when an environmental demonstration inexplicably
centers in on her, Sheriff Noah Dalton steps in, confident he can win back the
woman who once walked out on him.
As the demonstration spirals into
personal attacks, Noah, Perris’s father the sheep rancher, and her brother the
college student hatch a secret plot to protect her.
In an epic contest of wills with a lone
woman survivor used to solving her own problems, and three Western heroes just
as determined to save her, all hell starts to break loose.
Perilous
Promises excerpt:
Perris Dalton climbed the flight of steps to the third floor
of the county courthouse, the sound of the heels on her stylish new leather
boots echoing in the empty stairwell. She didn’t know why she’d felt compelled
to go out and buy all new clothing for today’s appearance before the judge, but
she had: cropped, close-fitting cowhide jacket, black wool pants, and perky
plum boots.
Head to toe, she knew she looked good. She’d had her short
black hair styled the day before. The untameable curls, which grew in place of
the long, straight locks that had fallen out in clumps, had now been
straightened and framed her face in delicate wisps. She had taken extra care
with her makeup, but she thought the effect was worth it. The hot little number
reflected in the mirror certainly didn’t resemble the pallid, sickly creature
Noah had pitied so much.
That woman, that poor, overwhelmed woman bowed by sickness
and surgery and chemo, had vanished. In her place stood the new Perris Dalton.
The Perris who’d taken control of her destiny, wrenched it forcefully away from
the doctors and Noah, and decided once and for all to flee the man who
threatened to smother her with sorrow.
If no one else understood her sudden decision to divorce
him, not her family, friends, or even her lawyer, she knew Noah did. As her
foot descended to the final riser and she saw him standing there in the hallway
with his lawyer, she knew that he had at last accepted that she was leaving
him. From the defeated slump of his broad shoulders to the muted glint of dim
lighting off his blond hair as he lowered his head to peer glumly at some legal
document his attorney held out for his inspection, Perris read acceptance of
her decision in every line of Noah’s tall, powerful body.
As she studied the man she was still married to for the next
little while, the man she loved with every fiber of her being and yet couldn’t
bear to live with any longer, she began to shake. The quaking got so bad, she
shot a hand out to grasp the railing to keep herself from toppling backwards
down the stairs.
She had thought determination alone
would see her through. She hadn’t realized it would be so hard to finally go
through with it.

Christi
Williams bio and links:
My
fiction is contemporary, so the settings and the characters are completely
modern and struggle with today’s issues. But the men and women in my writing
leave a big footprint, because their personalities and their solutions to
problems hark back to the iconic days which really don’t exist anymore. My
characters truly live by the Code of the West.
Christi
Williams writes contemporary sensual romance set in Wyoming. My strong heroines
love cowboys and lawmen! I love hearing from readers, so please contact me.
