For New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin, a career
in real estate led her down the road to romance.
Through real estate, Kat found her own perfect match--her husband, Western author Larry Jay Martin.
"We were on opposing sides of a transaction--I represented the seller and he represented the buyer," Kat recalls.
A short time after the two became acquainted, Larry asked her to read an unpublished manuscript of an historical western he'd written. Kat fell in love with both the book and the author!
"It was quite a romantic story," she admits. "I'd still like to see it get published." Then, after doing some editing for her future husband, she thought she'd try her own hand at writing.
Kat moved on to become the bestselling author of over fifty historical and contemporary romance novels. To date, 15 million copies of her books are in print, and she's been published around the globe, including Germany, Norway, Sweden, China, Korea, Bulgaria, Russia, England, Estonia, Lithuania, South Africa, Italy, Poland, Thailand, Portugal, Turkey, The Slovak Republic, Spain, Argentina, Estonia, Czech Republic and Greece.

I can’t speak for other authors, but after sixty books, including
AGAINST THE WILD, being released May 27th, I’m always trying to come
up with new story concepts. Which is the
reason, when I get an opportunity to travel, I jump right in.
Usually, however, I prefer a luxury hotel to the tiny
quarters of a pick-up camper. Still,
when my husband--always up for an outdoor adventure--wanted to go for a month-long
road trip to Alaska ,
I said yes. (This year one of my
resolutions is to say yes more often).
We took the entire month of August for our journey with two
other camper-couples--place. And it was amazing, magnificent vistas that stretch for hundreds of miles, dangerous wild animals, rugged mountains and rushing streams. It was the second trip for us into the far
Having just moved to Kensington Publishing, I began to think
Alaska might make
the perfect setting for the three books I’d been wanting to write about the
Brodie brothers, rugged, outdoor hunks, and the women who win their hearts.
The idea first came to me as I wrote Ty Brodie’s story,
AGAINST THE MARK. When Ty’s cousin,
Dylan, appeared straight out of the wilds of Alaska , I knew he had to have a story of his
own.
Dylan is the owner of a remote fishing lodge built in the
thirties, a big, rambling structure along the Northwest Passage . His dream is to remodel the old lodge and
give guests a taste of Alaska ,
but he needs help with the interior. Dylan
knows exactly the lady he wants to hire.
Lane Bishop is a successful Beverly Hills
interior designer, a woman Dylan met when he traveled to L.A. to buy a plane. Lane has a secret yen to experience the wild
beauty of Alaska ,
and Dylan’s offer is too tempting to resist.
Add to that, she wants to explore the attraction she felt for Dylan when
she met him in L.A.
Trouble begins when she arrives at Eagle Bay
Are ghosts real? Or
has trouble followed Lane all the way to Alaska ?
I hope you all get a chance to go on an adventure like mine
in the ruggedly beautiful Alaska . And that you’ll watch for Dylan Brodie in
AGAINST THE WILD, followed by his brothers’ stories, Nick, in AGAINST THE SKY,
and Rafe, in AGAINST THE TIDE. Till
then, all best wishes and happy reading.

It’s been three years since Lane Bishop tragically lost her

lodge, she uncovers a legacy of injustice and murder.
As danger stalks his daughter and the woman he is coming to
