Arizona Wild
by Linda Lael Miller
Starting over has never looked so good in this fan-favorite tale from Linda Lael Miller, previously published as Deadly Gamble.
Mojo Sheepshanks knows a thing or two about new beginnings. After a long-ago tragedy she’s never fully remembered and a childhood spent moving from place to place, she’s making a home in the small town of Cave Creek, Arizona, and finally taking charge of her future. But Tucker Darroch, a sexy cop with baggage of his own, keeps complicating the life she’s trying to simplify…
Tucker has been fascinated by the enigmatic Mojo from the beginning, and try as he might, he can’t ignore the sparks that fly between them. So when a wealthy man shows up in Cave Creek claiming to be Mojo’s long-lost uncle, and her shady brother begins dogging her footsteps, Tucker decides he’s sticking close as he and Mojo work to solve a decades-old crime…and prevent history from repeating itself.
Originally published November 2006 and January 2008 in mass market paperback and July 2014 in trade paperback and eBook as DEADLY GAMBLE, then published August 2016 in mass market paperback and eBook as ARIZONA WILD.
Linda Lael Miller's Bio
The Daughter of a Town Marshall
Linda Lael Miller is a #1New York TimesandUSA TODAYbestselling author of more than 100 historical and contemporary novels, most of which reflect her love of the West.
Raised in Northport, WA , Linda pursued her wanderlust, living in London, Florence and Venice, and traveling to many other parts of the world as well, including Israel, Thailand, Hong Kong and Bali.
After living in Port Orchard, WA for twenty years, Linda moved to Arizona, living first in Scottsdale and then on a horse property outside Cave Creek.
She moved back to Spokane, the city where she was born, after eight years, having written several books set in Arizona.
Presently, she downsized, and now lives in the San Diego area, near her daughter and son-in-law, Wendy and Jeremy, with her two dogs, Tule and Mowgli.
Linda's Story
Linda traces the birth of her writing career to the day when a Northport teacher told her that the stories she was writing were good, that she just might have a future in writing. Later, when she decided to write novels, she endured her share of rejection before she sold Fletcher's Woman in 1983 to Pocket Books. Since then, Linda has successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, mysteries and thrillers before coming home, in a literal sense, and concentrating on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
Long a passionate Civil War buff, Linda has studied the era avidly for almost thirty years.
She has read literally hundreds of books on the subject, explored numerous battlegrounds and made many visits to her favorite, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where she has witnessed re-enactments of the legendary clash between North and South.
Linda explores that turbulent time in The Yankee Widow, a May 7, 2019 hardcover, also available in digital and audiobook formats.
The First Lady of the West
Dedicated to helping others, "The First Lady of the West" personally financed fifteen years of her Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women, which she awarded to women 25 years and older who were seeking to improve their lot in life through education. She anticipates that her next charitable endeavors will benefit four-legged critters.
