Although Lena started out writing
paranormals (a genre she still loves!), her current passion is
romantic suspense. Forgiveness and redemption are favorite themes in
all of Lena’s novels.
Lena’s father was in the Navy, which
means she moved a LOT. She was born in Kentucky then moved to
California and Louisiana before eventually settling in North
Florida. Today she lives with her husband, two children, the
family sheltie, and psycho kitty in Saint Augustine.
When she isn’t writing her latest
novel, she enjoys reading (big surprise) and watching movies (can
you say – couch potato?) Her favorite authors include Julie
Garwood, Kay Hooper, Linda Howard, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Tracy Montoya,
and Gail Ranstrom.

More about Deadly
Witness ...
Meagan McKenzie, an Information
Technology manager, discovers evidence of money laundering
in the New York City investment firm where she works. Now a
powerful crime boss wants her dead. She testifies against
him, but the jury isn’t convinced and the judge declares a
mistrial. Sacrificing everything familiar - her career,
family, home - she assumes a new identity in the Witness
Protection Program. The lifetime city slicker is relocated
to the rural foothills of the Tennessee Smoky Mountains.
Ryan Jackson, a decorated green
beret, would trade every medal he has for a chance to turn
back time and save the men who died under his command in
Afghanistan. Every night he hears their screams as the bombs
go off. Everyday he fights the lingering pain of a healing
leg that won’t let him forget his doomed mission. After
being forced to take medical leave, he’s eager to convince
his commanding officer that he’s now fit enough to lead
another A-Team in the caves of Afghanistan.
When Meagan moves next door to
Ryan, sparks fly. Literally. Her house is torched, with her
inside. Ryan barely gets her out in time. Not knowing whom
to trust, Meagan turns to Ryan, who risks his career and his
life to keep her safe. But as they dodge bears and bullets
in the Smoky Mountains, and as Ryan tutors Meagan on the
realities of life without a Starbucks on every corner, they
begin to question whether she is really the target or just a
pawn. Someone far more sinister than the mob may be using
her, and the Witness Protection Program, to kill someone
else. Ryan.
