Dangerous Therapy
by Rhonda Brewer
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Suspense
Physical Therapist Stephanie Kelly is healing from a broken heart. When she is hired by Nightingale’s personal care and physical therapy, she’s ecstatic but she's shocked when her boss asks her to take on a new patient. Shocked because the patient is her boss's nephew and he’s not exactly keen on therapy. He’s also the cop who's been heating up her dreams.
As Stephanie helps John get back on his feet, they grow closer, but someone is out to hurt Stephanie, or worse. After multiple attempts on her life, John’s family tries to figure out who’s after the woman he loves and stop them before it’s too late.
I was born and raised in St. John’s, Newfoundland. I’ve been with my husband for over thirty years and we have two children.
I'm also a writer. Someone who loves to tell stories of love, suspense, heartache and of course happily ever after. For most of my life, I've written those stories for myself. A type of therapy, I suppose. I love the characters I create. They become part of who I am because there's part of me in them.
25 Fun facts!
1. I’m an only child but always wished I
had lots of brothers and sisters. It’s why I enjoy writing stories about
siblings.
2. The character of Nanny Betty is loosely
based on my own late grandmother. She was a fire cracker but she was from a different
part of the province.
4. I’ve had most of the books in this
series written for about 5 years but never had the courage to try to publish
them until now.
5. I spent almost 30 years of my life on
and off with cadets both as a cadet and then as an officer teaching kids from 9
to 13.
6. I learned to play the piano when I was
in elementary school and took lessons up until high school but hated them
because I was taught by a catholic nun who liked to rap fingers with a ruler.
7. Hopedale is actually a fictional town
but it is like many small towns in Newfoundland. Everyone knows everyone else
and the communities are close knit.
8. My husband and I are caretakers for his
48-year-old sister who has William Syndrome. It’s a developmental disability
much like downs syndrome in that all the people have the same features.
9. I have been with my husband since I was
17. I literally married the boy next door.
10. Newfoundland has no crickets,
porcupines, skunks, snakes or deer. We do, however, have a whole lot of
moose…over 100,000. They were introduced over 100 years ago
11. St. John’s is the oldest city in North
America.
12. I have a computer programming degree.
13. Newfoundland has it’s own time zone. We
are 30 minutes ahead of Atlantic Standard Time.
14. Newfoundland towns have some of the most
amusing names in the world including Come by Chance, Joe Batt’s Arm, and yes
Dildo.
15. September 11, 2001, 39 aircrafts were
diverted to the tiny airport in Gander. More than 6,600 people (over 60% of the
local population) were taken into homes for up to 3 days until the airspace reopened.
Today, people who were stranded still visit their hosts who offered the
ultimate acts of hospitality and kindness.
16. The accents between Waterford, Ireland
and St. John’s, Newfoundland are nearly identical.
17. St. John’s, Newfoundland is the oldest
city in North America.
18. The reason I based my books in
Newfoundland is because it’s one of the most beautiful and romantic places I
know.
19. One of my favorite television shows is
Criminal Minds.
20. I can play wipe out on the glockenspiel.
21. My grandfather and mother encouraged my
love of reading and books.
22. I love the smell of the ocean which is a
good thing since Newfoundland is an island surrounded by water.
23. The first time I logged into a chat room
was when I twisted my knee and couldn’t walk. My cousin suggested to go online
but in 1998 it was all new and she told me not to use my real name so I used a
name that I called my daughter from time to time. Sweet Kitty. I got a very
rude awakening when I logged in with that name. However, I did meet some great
friends online that I’m still friends with today.
24. I’m not a fan of tattoos and I don’t
have any myself.
25. My kids call me a witch because no
matter what I always find out when they are hiding something. They still don’t
know my secret and they never will.
