Putting the wild into wilderness…
New Zealand adventure guide Rogan Quinn doesn’t deny he’s a commitment-phobe. He learned long ago that there is nothing more dangerous than love. But that doesn’t mean he won’t indulge in pleasure where he finds it, and his newest client looks like she’s badly in need of a lot of pleasure.
Psychologist Claudia Mathison has brought five of her phobia-suffering patients into the wilderness hoping for a breakthrough, not to mention a break in her career. Instead, Rogan invites her on an adventure—and she has no doubt that the sexy Kiwi can take her higher and further than she’s ever been. But Claudia has a fear of her own…that if she takes that adventure with him, she won’t be able to find her way back. Or worse, she won’t want to.
“Either you want me...or you don’t.”
“But I think it’s always best to sort through these things—” Claudia started to argue.
“I’m really not interested in a conversation right now. Not when all I really want to do is tear off all our clothes.”
Her gaze flitted down to his mouth, then back up to meet his eyes again. She drew a ragged breath and her lips parted. It was enough for him, enough to take the chance that she wanted exactly what he did. Slipping his hand behind her neck, he pulled her closer and kissed her.
Her surrender was almost immediate, and Claudia wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down beside her until her body was stretched out beneath his.
His desire quickly burned out of control. He needed to touch Claudia, to feel her body beneath his hands.
To kiss her until neither one of them could stop themselves...
When it came time to find a setting for my newest Quinn trilogy, I was looking for somewhere just a little exotic. And I’ve always been fascinated by New Zealand. All those incredible landscapes in the Lord of the Rings movies. It was the perfect place for my Quinns to live. Of course, now that I’ve been “traveling” to New Zealand in my literary life, I would love to visit in my real life.
That’s one of the things I love most about writing the Quinn saga. There are Quinns all over the world. Where will I find them next? I hope you enjoy this new trilogy and continue to follow the Quinns.
Happy reading,
Kate Hoffmann

ROGAN QUINN PEERED out the front window of his grandparents’ house, observing the small crowd gathered just outside the garden fence.
“What do you think they want?” he asked.
His twin brother, Ryan, shrugged. “Maybe they want a picture of us crying over Dad, so they can show everyone that we’re sad.”
“I’m not going to do that for them,” Rogan said stubbornly. “I wish they’d just go away and leave us be.” He wandered away from the window, his gaze coming to rest on the closed bedroom door. His mother hadn’t come out all morning.
She’d had good days and bad in the month since their father’s death. On the good days, she managed to appear at the dinner table, usually wrapped in her dressing gown. Food didn’t interest her, nor did conversation. She’d just sit, ignoring her four children, before shuffling back to the bedroom.
She’d become a ghost of herself, frail and silent, her vacant eyes fixed
