She's not who she says she is! Tory Evans is living her sister's life. Christine is dead, murdered by Tory's vengeful ex-husband, and now - for her own survival - Tory has taken on Christine's identity. Her name, her job, her new home in Shelter Valley, Arizona.

He's reinventing his life. Ben Sanders is a divorced father who's come to Shelter Valley to resume the education that was interrupted years before. He's intrigued by one of his professors, the woman he knows as Christine Evans. She's smart, she's beautiful - and she's hiding something. She's also off-limits.

Despite that, despite the secrecy and the danger, Tory and Ben are drawn to each other. Second chances really do exist. Especially in a place like Shelter Valley...

What's missing in Miranda Parson's life? Nothing, she thinks--until she meets handsome, caring veterinarian Zack Foster and discovers an intense desire that shakes her safe and familiar world.

I want to introduce you to Shelter Valley.  It’s a fictitious town in Arizona, but one that has stood the test of time.  While the scenery is spectacular and the weather divine, the backbone of Shelter Valley, what keeps people coming back for, are her people.  In Shelter Valley they believe in second chances.  If you are kind to others, you’re welcome to stop by.  And if they take you in, you’ll have friends and champions for life.  In Shelter Valley no one has to go through life, or suffer, alone.

Sound great?  Well as a reader, it’s okay to fall in love with Shelter Valley.  It won’t be one of those
experiences where you feel at home, love being there and then…the book ends and you’re bereft. 

There are fourteen Shelter Valley Stories to date.  With talk of more on the way.  These stories have won awards and hit multiple bestseller lists, including USA Today just this summer.  They’re published in five different languages.  And this month they are ALL on sale for just $2.99 a piece. 

To start you off I’ll share the first reviews to ever come in on the first four books.  This was before
anyone knew there’d be so many of them…

Becca’s Baby

 “Taylor Quinn provides a robust character study worth reading by anyone who enjoys a fabulous look at the human psyche.”
--Harriet Klausner

 My Sister, Myself

 Award Winner Affaire de Coeur 2001 Best Contemporary Novel
“Tara Taylor Quinn has pulled out all the stops this time in My Sister, Myself. Tory and Ben are both
terribly wounded souls who have seen too little joy in their lives and who have more hurt in store. Ms. Quinn rips out her readers’ hearts, then hands them back, mended and stronger. This is a wrenching, heartbreaking, but ultimately triumphant story.”
--Rickey R. Mallory

White Picket Fences
“WHITE PICKET FENCES, the latest Shelter Valley story, is a warm tale centering on the risk of entering a loving relationship. The story works because the lead characters and the secondary cast (including some old friends) feel genuine. Tara Taylor Quinn provides a wonderful tale that enhances a strong series in which love can be found and treasured. Fans will look forward to the next Shelter valley novel, SHELTERED IN HIS ARMS.”
--Harriet Klausner

Sheltered in His Arms

“THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK I'VE READ BY TTQ, AND IT WON'T BE MY LAST!  I LOVED THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT TRUE LOVE AND FORGIVENESS CAN BE SO POWERFUL! EVEN THOUGH SAM MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE THAT COST HIM SO DEARLY, I THOUGHT HE WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL CHARACTER I HAVE EVER READ IN A NOVEL. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ TTQ OTHER BOOKS. THIS AUTHOR IS
AMAZING!!!!!!”
