Lorenz Font
discovered her love of writing after reading a celebrated novel that inspired
one idea after another. She is currently enjoying the buzz from her debut novel
Hunted, the first installment of The Gates Legacy trilogy.
Writing is
therapeutic for Lorenz, and a perfect day consists of writing and playing with
her characters while listening to her ever-growing music collection. She enjoys
dabbling in different genres, with an intense focus on angst and the redemption
of flawed characters. Her fascination with romantic twists is a mainstay in all
her stories.
Lorenz
currently lives in California with her husband, children, and two demanding
dogs. She divides her time between a full-time job as a Business Office Manager
for a hospital and her busy writing schedule.

Pre-med student Sarah Jones is back in Beaver,
Alaska, for summer vacation. A loyal
member of the Gwich’in tribe, she accepts the rules set by her father, the
leader of their small town. Raised in a strict household, she learned early on
to do what is expected of her and has agreed to an arranged marriage. Despite
her reluctance to marry without love, Sarah is unwilling to defy her father’s
wishes. She hopes to help usher in an era of independence and stability for the
town, but for now, her focus is finishing med school so she can become Beaver’s
resident doctor.
Business owner Greg Andrews wants to escape his
philandering wife and his life in general. Leaving New York City to join a
hunting expedition in Alaska, Greg’s plans are turned upside down when he is
shot on Gwich’in land and ends up on Sarah’s operating table. In the absence of
a qualified doctor, Sarah must operate to save his life. She refuses to wait
for the consent of their tribal leader, and her father banishes her from the
tribal land in punishment.
Grateful for his life, Greg concocts a scheme to
help. Plagued by the side effects of her unconventional operation, he convinces
Sarah to become his live-in nurse. Without the means to support herself, Sarah
agrees to the questionable arrangement, but she soon finds herself in even more
trouble. Her new problem is that she is falling in love with this infuriating
man, and the choices she now must make are must more difficult than the simple
act of saving a man’s life.
Together, Sarah and Greg must both decide whether
they can overcome the vast differences between them, or if the indivisible line
that separates their worlds will ultimately pull them apart.
Read an excerpt from INDIVISIBLE LINE....
“Have
you been spying on my friend?”
“A
senator’s son graces the tabloids and newspapers once in a while. It’s common
knowledge among city folks.” Greg didn’t look up; he just continued to whisk
the eggs.
The
way he had recited all that information infuriated Sarah. “Look at me, Greg.
Where is this coming from?” She leaned forward and tilted his chin up with her
forefinger. When their eyes met, his expression surprised her. In his eyes, she
found vulnerability she hadn’t expected and a hint of jealousy, which made her
heart soar.
Her
finger burned where it touched his skin. Greg held her gaze for a moment before
turning away. He walked over to the stove and turned the knob.
“Nowhere.
It’s going nowhere,” he replied in a quiet voice.
That wasn’t my question.
Sarah eyes widened; could Greg be jealous? Why? He hadn’t given her a reason to
believe he was interested in her in any way beyond the terms of their
arrangement, which he was supposed to have concocted to benefit them both. As
far as she was concerned, she was here to pay him back for what she’d done. So
far, Greg hadn’t benefited from their arrangement at all. She’d been doing the
taking, while he seemed content to keep giving.
Sarah
jumped off the barstool, walked over to the stove, and stood next to him.
“That’s not what I asked. Tell me what’s bothering you.” She tugged at his arm.
“Nothing,
Sarah. I’m looking after your best interests. Sharks are always out there,
swimming around and looking for the prey to sink their teeth into. I’m just making
sure you’re protected and safe.” He kept his eyes glued to the empty skillet,
and Sarah itched for him to say more.
Minutes
passed before he met her gaze. She held her breath. The way he angled his head
made her think he wanted to kiss her. For a moment, she imagined his mouth on
hers and what he’d taste like.
“Are
you one of those sharks?” she couldn’t help asking.
She
blinked and pulled her hand back. “I hate nightmares.”
Sarah
scrambled to sit up while Greg rose from his kneeling position at the side of
her bed.
“I
heard your screams, so I came in to check on you.” He watched her with a
worried expression. “What got you all scared?”
She
tried to remember but came up empty. “How can dreams turn you upside-down, and
then leave you wondering what got you all riled up in the first place?”
Blinking, she tried to compose her thoughts. “I can’t remember.”
“Do
you want a glass of water?” Greg asked without moving from his spot.
Sarah
shook her head and shivered, still feeling the effects of the forgotten nightmare.
“Lie down with me?”
Why
did she always end up speaking without thinking first? This was so wrong on all
levels, but she was giving in to her heart’s desire. If it was a mistake, then
she’d learn her lesson pretty soon.
Greg
hesitated. She couldn’t blame him. He must know how she felt about him,
although, she’d fought hard to keep her emotions hidden. Greg was far too
beautiful for his own good, and she had been mesmerized by him from the first
moment she’d laid eyes on him.
She
closed her eyes, waiting for him to turn her down. He didn’t say anything, but
then she felt the mattress dip under his weight. “I’ll hold you until you fall
asleep.”
Sarah nodded, and then turned her body in his
direction. Greg eased himself onto the bed, and face to face, they stared at
each other in the darkness. No words were necessary. They were just two people
struggling with their lives and everything around them, and they needed each
other.
Get it now....
