Author of romantic environmental suspense, with two books in publications and one due out 09/18/09, I write gritty books filled with suspense, sex, romance, murder, about women who discover they can transcend their circumstances and create their own lives.
<p>FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES<br /><br />At barely nineteen, Angelica Donovan became one of the more successful winners of the T.V. show Our Next Super Model. The world assumed she was destined for a happy, fairy tale life as ‘Angel,’ the beautiful girl who was living the dream; sadly, that wasn’t to be the case. As the years passed, she flashed her million dollar smile to all her fans and fought to stay on top in a profession where you never knew who it was safe to trust while the fashion industry took big bites out of her heart and soul. And trust was a constant challenge for Angel due to the painful childhood secret she guarded as carefully as she did her heart. As a result, she never did find her true love on earth.<br /><br />When she wakes up ‘dead’ from a heart condition a month before her thirty-fifth birthday, Angel is at first relieved to find there is no death, just a change of state, like ice to water, and then she’s scared because her biggest and most important adventure is about to begin.<br /><br />Angelica is chosen to be an angel in training as a spirit guide for three souls on earth! Her assignment is to help two women to gain the courage and confidence to find, recognize and embrace the love that had eluded Angel in life. But her biggest challenge will be to save a very special little girl from the same evil experience that had poisoned Angel’s own earthly happiness and altered the course of her life.<br /><br />Will Angel be able to heal her own shattered soul in the process? And will the three souls she is guiding be able to recognize her, not as a ghostly threat, but as one of those ‘friends in high places’ we all have; the kind who often end up earning their wings.<br /><br /> </p>

She discovers that someone is trying to sabotage her job, so she goes undercover as a DNR environmental specialist to find out what is going on. After losing her parents at a young age, she is raised by an aunt that goes out of her way to get herself in trouble. Her aunt finds out about the problem with Nick’s job and goes on her own journey to help. Thinking her aunt was at her uncle’s cabin, she goes to find her only to discover no one there. <br /><br />Nick is surprised when the county sheriff, John McGuinn, knocks on the cabin door looking for her uncle. It doesn’t take long to find out her uncle has been murdered and she has been set up as the killer. Nick goes on the run to find out the truth and John is hot on her tail. Catching up with her, he and Nick face the raw sexual tension that is between them. Nick realizes that John is the only one she can trust, and together they look for the clues of the real killer and the disappearance of her aunt. <br /><br />Her aunt leads them on a wild goose chase across the country. But, the real surprise is ahead of her when she finally discovers who is the killer and why she has been set up. <br /><br /><em>Leave No Trace</em> is an intriguing fast paced, exciting story. There are so many twists and turns to this story, I could not wait to turn the page to see what happens next. Nick is such a lonely woman until she meets John and no matter what happens he is there to protect and love her. <strong>Lynn Romaine</strong> knows how to bring the characters and her stories to life. <strong>Ms Romaine</strong> has written such a fantastic tale I give her 5 Angels. - Reviewed by Briana</font></div></blockquote>
