Lauralee by Linda Miller

Lauralee by Linda Miller

From New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller comes the tale of a woman who braved the heights of a passion beyond reason.

Lauralee Parker knew too well what drink could do to a man. Her own husband had died at the door of a town saloon. With hymns and hatchets, Lauralee and the women of Halpern's Ferry closed down all the taverns--all but the one Jay McCallum was determined to save.

After his brother, a saloonkeeper, was found brutally slain, Jay had come to town ready to accuse Lauralee--only to be captivated by her winsome beauty. The proud, powerful man melted Lauralee's defiant heart with the aching hunger of his love--and with the sweet, urgent ecstasy they shared.

But even as she surrendered to her rich and wild desire, Lauralee's joy was shadowed by the haunting mystery of Jay's brother's death.a mystery whose shocking outcome could forever destroy her future's radiant promise.

Linda Lael was born in 1949 in Washington. Her father was a town marshal, although he, along with her uncle Jake Jiggs Lael also competed on the rodeo circuit.[1] A voracious reader, Linda began writing her own stories when she was 10.[2] As a child, Linda often visited with an elderly neighbor and listened to stories of her neighbor's experiences meeting outlaw Jesse James and witnessing a gunfight involving the Dalton Brothers.[1] Lael graduated from high school in Northport, WA but did not attend college.[2] After her marriage, Miller spent 10 years living in Spokane before moving away. She has lived in Italy and in London. After five years living in Arizona, Miller moved back to Washington in 2006.[1]

Miller has established a foundation, the Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women. These scholarships are intended to allow women who are struggling to further their education, either through a trade school or a traditional college or university. The scholarships are funded by the fees Miller commands at speaking engagements, and winners are allowed to spend the proceeds on any expense (including childcare and transportation) that will allow her to attend school
