LEAH ST. JAMES
RELEASES DEBUT NOVEL
OF ROMANTIC SUSPENSE
Surrender to Sanctuary (The Wild Rose Press; June 25, 2010, $6.00/digital, $14.99/print) tells the story of the brutal murder of a young woman at the Jersey Shore, and the FBI agents who are sent to bring her killer to justice. Hometown investigators might believe the woman simply partied too hard and fell overboard, but Special Agents David Owens and Anna Parker know better. They trace the victim's path from a local adult club to a dangerous and shadowed world that forces them under cover, into performances that draw them closer to the killer, and closer to each other. Soon they are racing against a clock set by an unknown enemy, compelled to carry out a plan that not only jeopardizes their lives, but tests their very beliefs, and their newfound love.

Bio & Photo
Leah's fascination with all things
written began when she picked up her first Dr. Seuss book, and she
has rarely been seen without a novel close at hand since. Although
she's held many positions over the years, from office manager to
transcript editor, writing is her passion, and after devouring every
romance novel in the local library, she decided to put some of the
ever-present words in her head to paper. During the course of her
experimentations, she discovered that she enjoys delving into the
deepest of human emotions—love and hate, bravery and cowardice, joy
and despair—and how we, as human beings, relate to each other. Her
greatest hope is to touch her readers' hearts and help them
experience the joy that only love can bring.
Married with two grown sons, Leah is a native of the beautiful Central Jersey Shore but now enjoys the peace and quiet of Virginia's Hampton Roads.
