Lori L. Lake

While on patrol, Minnesota police officer Dez Reilly saves two women from a brutal attack. One of them, Jaylynn Savage, is immediately attracted to the taciturn cop - so much so that she joins the St. Paul Police Academy. As fate would have it, Dez is eventually assigned as Jaylynn's Field Training Officer. Having been burned in the past by getting romantically involved with another cop, Dez has a steadfast rule she has abided by for nine years: Cops are off limits. But as Jaylynn and Dez get to know one another, a strong friendship forms. Will Dez break her cardinal rule and take a chance on love with Jaylynn, or will she remain forever gun shy?

Gun Shy

?[This] is one kick-ass debut thriller. Set in the woods of Northern Minnesota, the story is riveting, the writing lean, tough and tense. I'd met Dez Reilly and Jaylynn Savage before, but in this book, author Lori L. Lake doesn't pull any punches. She puts her cop heroines in danger that doesn't let up, pushing them to the very edge of their physical and emotional limits. Lake's north wood's tale is full of passion and terror, twists and heartbreak, but in the end, the message is all about friendship. If you miss this one, you'll miss one of the year's best.? ~ Ellen Hart, author of the Jane Lawless series St. Paul police officers Dez Reilly and Jaylynn Savage have been working far too hard. When they take off on a camping trip to northern Minnesota with good friends Crystal and Shayna, they expect nothing more than long hikes, romantic wood fires, and plenty of down time. Instead, they find themselves caught in the whirlwind created when two escaped convicts, law enforcement, and desperate Russian mobsters clash east of the privately-run Kendall Correctional Center. Jaylynn is taken hostage and must use all her resources to stay alive. Can Dez catch up with the criminals, short-circuit the Russians, and save Jaylynn? It's a race to the finish as author Lori L. Lake uproots Dez and Jaylynn from the romance genre to bring them center stage in her first action-suspense thriller. ?Jaylynn and Dez, two of the most intriguing characters in lesbian fiction, are suddenly faced with a series of desperate, life-and-death challenges. Fast-paced, utterly convincing and completely unpredictable, this story will take you on a wild run through the deep woods of Minnesota. Be warned: after the initial set-up, I could not put this novel down.? ~Jean Stewart, author of the Isis series
