Hideaway
by Hannah Alexander
Hideaway
by Hannah Alexander, the launch title for Steeple
Hill women’s fiction, has won the 2004 Christy
Award® for Best Romance! The second book in the
Hideaway series, Safe Haven, will be available in
August 2004.
As
an E.R. doctor, Cheyenne Allison is used to handling
emergencies on a daily basis — until her own
sister codes on the trauma bed. Devastated, Cheyenne
retreats to an isolated farm in Hideaway, Missouri.
But peace and solitude are in short supply in this
picturesque Ozarks town. A dangerous vandal has the
community terrorized, and Cheyenne finds an unexpected
demand for her medical skills.
Mayor
Austin Barlow is convinced the culprit resides with
Cheyenne's charismatic neighbor across the lake,
Dane Gideon, whose ranch for foster boys has given
rise to previous violence. Cheyenne distrusts Austin,
while Dane inspires her respect, and perhaps something
more — although she can't share the faith that
sustains him as the violence turns deadly. Then
Cheyenne, already pursued by a past nemesis, becomes
the vandal's target, and she can only hope that
Hideaway will prove her sanctuary…and perhaps
a place to call home.

"Genuine
humor and an interesting cast of characters keep
the story perking along...and there are a few
surprises...An enjoyable read." Publishers
Weekly
"...Hideaway is gripping and romantic. It
may also have crossover appeal to fans of medical
suspense and of such authors as Tess Gerritsen."
Library Journal
"...special care is taken to be accurate
with medical terminology. The author also writes
beautifully about those who struggle with the
apparent hypocrisy of Christians...Outstanding
real-life dialogue...is naturally sprinkled throughout
the book."
Laurie Copeland, Christian Retailing

so authentic you'd know them if you met them on the
street, Hannah Alexander knows how to weave stories
that hang on to your heart long after you finish the
books. Bravo!"
Susan May Warren, bestselling author of The Deep Haven
series.
"Hideaway is absolutely the best book I have
read this year.... The strength of emotion packs a
powerful punch, and the suspense sits on the edge
of a knifepoint.... Each and every secondary character
is captivating, and the events are traumatic as the
story moves quickly through the pages.... The inspirational
qualities are by far the most superior I have read....
Hideaway is an absolute must read for everyone....
I am pleased to award this novel RRT's Perfect 10."
