OUT NOW!
Victoria Bradford and her four-year
old daughter are on the run from Tory’s abusive ex-fiancé. Seventy miles north of Dallas, the Iron
River Ranch is pretty much nowhere, exactly what Josh Cain wanted when he came back
from Afghanistan. Big skies, quiet
nights, no trouble.
When Tory shows up with her adorable
little girl, Josh realizes he is in for trouble of the most personal kind. But
Josh has seen trouble before, and he doesn't scare easy. Not when “accidents”
start happening around the ranch. Not when Tory’s best friend is abducted. Not even when he realizes their troubles are
only the tip of the iceberg.

BEYOND CONTROL by Kat Martin (Zebra MM/June
2018/978-1-4201-4319-5)
"Bestseller Martin brings her Texas Trilogy contemporary romantic suspense series (Beyond Danger, Beyond Reason) to a hair-raising finish with the gripping tale of a single mother on the run and the Marine veteran who offers her a second chance at happily-ever-after. With her four-year-old daughter, Ivy, in tow, Victoria “Tory” Bradford is trying to stay one step ahead of her abusive ex-fiancé, Damon Bridger. She bounces around the Southwest before landing at Iron River Ranch in Iron Springs, Tex. After returning stateside from tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, retired sniper Joshua Cain bought Iron River and planned for a more placid lifestyle. But when Tory shows up on his doorstep, desperate for a job that will allow her to support her daughter and stay off her rich ex’s radar, he’s plunged right back into danger. The dynamics of abusive relationships and obsession ring true throughout, as does the redemptive power of love. Martin has a consummate skill for developing the most lovable and the most despicable characters; readers will cheer when sadistic Damon meets his well-deserved end. Martin’s finely described Texas is a delight." – Publishers Weekly

BLOGGING WITH KAT MARTIN
Everyone loves the beach.
Though I live in Montana, I’m fortune to spend my winters at the beach
in sunny California. My writing space looks
out on a boat channel that leads to the harbor so I watch the tide go up and
down several times a day.
A bicycle-ride away, a sandy beach slopes down to the water
where a frothy tide rolls in and out, the perfect place to talk a stroll at the
end of a long day or just dig your toes into the warm gritty sand.
For me, there is no better way to spend an afternoon than
lying in the sun on a bright-colored beach towel, straw hat shading your face
while you read a delicious, page-turning novel.
The rhythmic curl and tug of the waves is the perfect backdrop, lulling
me into the story, shutting out the day-to-day troubles of the world, if only
for a little while.
As a writer, lying half-asleep in the sun, listening to the
soft rush of the wind and the cry of seagulls, is a great way to get story
ideas.
Too often I get stuck when writing a novel (I refuse to call
it writer’s block, which is way too scary).
The beach, I’ve discovered, is a great antidote.
While I was writing the
third book in my Texas Trilogy, BEYOND CONTROL, Josh Cain and Victoria
Bradford’s story, I found myself unable to figure out how the heroine was going
to escape the perilous situation I had put her in. After several sleepless nights, I took a
drive along the beach just a few blocks from my house.
As I looked at the clear blue ocean stretching endlessly in
front of me, my whole body relaxed--a little slice of heaven. An hour away from the computer, watching the waves
crash up on the shore, my creative juices started flowing. Ideas flashed in my head, some good, some not-so-good,
as the next part of Josh and Tory’s story opened up in my mind.
Hurrying home, I madly began pounding on the keyboard, desperate
to get my thoughts down on the page. The
story started moving forward again, and I was even able to get a good night’s
sleep!
So the next time you’re feeling jammed up about something, whether
you’re a writer or not, whether you live at the beach or in the desert, the
mountains or the city, find a place that lets you breathe, refreshes you and
lets you face the world again.
Have a great summer and happy reading. Till next time, Kat
