Lara Steele

Tender Bait: Edited to Remove Explicit Sex Lara Steele

Publisher Marketing:"I created this version for those who want a gripping murder mystery story, with a romantic twist, but without the sex." The Story It is detective Kelly Swift's first day on the job when a peaceful college town is unexpectedly shaken by a serial murderer, and she is determined to find the killer. Her new partner, Jack Hall, was also her first love. How do they overcome their separate histories to make a new one together? Starting off on the wrong foot, their reunion seems doubtful, especially when they both live in denial. Neither agrees on anything...who the murderer is...their relationship...who left whom - and then Kelly is kidnapped. Can Jack find her in time when he has the wrong man behind bars? Please Note: This abridged version keeps the sexual tension, but the actual sex is behind closed doors, and not described. Some readers may prefer to look for the more explicit version. About the Author: Lara Steele has enjoyed writing for many years. While this is her first voyage into published works, it is not her first exploration of telling a story.

She has many interests including auto mechanics, LEGO creations (check out L3-G0.com), sewing, and volunteer work. She believes completely in rescuing lost puppies, kitties, and people. Lara loves life, including all the diversity and mysteries of it. It was once said that Lara Steele never met a stranger. Her Indian god mother gave her a Cherokee name meaning "Hello my friend" when Lara was just 4 years old. Lara still lives up to that name, even to the chagrin of her relatives.
