Gleason
Description
She's hiding from a past that could get her killed...
He's building a future he never thought he'd have.
Gleason Pennington has finally found solid ground.
With a new home rising, a second chance at life, and the family he's always needed, everything is falling into place?exactly the way it should.
Until she walks into his world.
Hailey Sheppard is running?quietly, carefully, and always one step ahead. After a violent night that left bodies behind and questions with no answers, she's learned to survive by staying invisible. Trusting no one has kept her alive.
But Gleason sees her.
And worse... he refuses to look away.
As whispers of the truth behind the Golden Sheep grow louder and danger circles closer, Hailey's carefully built disguise begins to crack. The closer she gets to Gleason, the more she risks?not just her safety, but the guarded heart she swore no one would ever touch.
Because some men offer protection...
And some offer something far more dangerous:
A reason to stop running.
In a town full of secrets, trusting the wrong person could cost her everything?
But trusting the right one might save her.

Person
I woke up one morning and decided to give play time to the people in my head who were keeping me awake. Little did I know that they would be so relentless and want their time right now! I wrote for the pure joy of it and to entertain my family and friends. But mostly it was to get more than an hour of sleep without a story playing out. Of course, the more I write, the more they want. So...well, as a result of sleepless days (I work through the night as a gun toting grandma ? nope not a vigilantly but an armed security guard) I have lots of stories written.
Hello! My name is Kathi Barton and I'm an author. I have been married to my very best friend Sonny for at times seems several lifetimes ? in a good way, honey. And together we have three wonderful children and then the ones we brought into the world - Paul and Dale Barton, Jason and Wendy Barton and Danielle and Ben Conklin. They have given us seven of the greatest treasures on Earth. They don't live at home seven days a week! No, seriously, seven grandchildren ? Gavin, Spring, Ben, Trinity, Sarah, Kelly and Kian.
