About the Book

In 1882, spirited Chicago seamstress, Megan Killeen, leaves behind her troubled past and sets off on a train to Denver, eager to start up her own ladies dress shop. Midway across the Kansas prairie, the train is robbed and a dark-eyed outlaw takes Megan and a wagonload of stolen gold on a wild getaway ride.  How can she protect herself and reach her destination without succumbing to her captor’s seductive charms?

James Ryder, working as a secret agent, has infiltrated an outlaw gang, risking his life to stop mounting Kansas train robberies.  Suddenly he is saddled with a bank payroll and a flame-haired Irish fox.

Can Ryder deliver the gold and his feisty companion to Denver –- and protect them from the skulking, vengeful gang leader, Jake Wiley?

About the Author

Leslee Breene entertains a passion for writing stories from the heart.  For the past seven years, her focus has centered on historical romance.  In her continuing fascination with Western history, she sets out to create flesh and blood women and men of the early West in moments of adventure and courage. 

In FOXFIRE, Ms. Breene’s first published novel-length fiction, her heroine Megan Killeen was a delight to embody.  The challenge was not to get carried away with Megan’s Irish brogue.  She admits giving in to the idea of being carried away by hero, James Ryder.

The 1992 National Writers Association featured one of her short stories in its anthology, OF HOBOS AND RAINBOWS.  Snow Angels of San Marcial won First Place in the 1998 BYLINE Magazine’s Christmas short fiction contest.

She attended The University of Denver and, after winning a Denver Fashion Group Scholarship, graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York City.  She worked as a fashion illustrator in San Francisco for several years before returning to Denver.  

A believer in supporting fellow writers, Ms. Breene is an active member of Colorado Romance Writers, Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, and Romance Writers of America.
