Today is Release Day for my contribution to the Sleigh Ride Series…Here’s “A Sleigh Ride For Claire”!

He was the most stubborn and prideful man she’d ever met!
She was a busybody who stuck her nose in his business at every turn!
With Christmas on the horizon, Claire McAllister has far too much to do to entertain dreams of a husband and family. Even if she feels inclined to help Lincoln Wyse outwit his three mischievous young daughters, it’s impossible to imagine the handsome widower seeing her as anything but a scolding schoolteacher.

Even though the pretty schoolteacher never turned a favorable eye to him, Linc Wyse’s heart skipped a beat whenever she pinned him with her mesmerizing green eyes. Beautiful or not, Claire McAllister was a meddling spinster who placed judgments on him and his family.
Yet, neither one can imagine how three little, mischievous matchmakers and a magical Christmas Eve sleigh ride will open their eyes to love…or how the Lord will awaken their faith and hope.

A Time to Pay Tribute to the American Worker

by

Happy Labor Day, 2024

Each time you receive a raise in your paycheck, enjoy a paid vacation, arrive home at a decent hour to be with family and friends, and work in a safe and sanitary environment, it is because American labor has raised our nation’s standard of living and contributed to the greatest production the world has ever known. It has brought us closer to realizing our traditional ideals of democracy. 
 
It is appropriate that the nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom, and leadership--the American worker!

I just received my Spur Award for Love on Target.

It is so awesome! The spur mounted on it is just the icing on the cake. I’m still so humbled and honored they chose my book for the romance novel category. This award is definitely going to have a special place in my office.

My niece decided we needed to get the whole family together for a photography session at her place. She arranged for the photographer, so all we had to do was give Dad a ride and arrive on time. When we were getting ready to leave Dad’s house, he carried out two cowboy hats. One of them is very “vintage” and the other one is fairly new. He asked which hat he should wear and I asked which one he liked the best.

He picked up the vintage hat and said, with emotion thick in his voice, “your momma gave this one to me.”

I nodded, doing my best not to cry. “Then that’s the one you should wear.”

So he did.

We haven’t gotten the photos back from the photographer yet, but she sent this one as a teaser. It makes my heart happy every time I look at it. I’m so glad Amanda decided it was time to get some photos with everyone, especially Dad. Have you done family photos recently?

Whoo, hoo! In case you missed it, my latest Heartwarming release, the first book in my new series, Rocking Chair Ranch, hit the shelves at the end of July. THE RODEO COWBOY’S RETURN is now available. So far, the reviews have been great, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Backcover blurb:

Coming back to the ranch…means facing his past—and his future
Rodeo cowboy Everett Owens broke a vow to watch over his best friend’s widow and son. But when his grandfather’s failing health leads him back to Arizona, he must face Macy Sommers, the single mother he abandoned to her grief—and the woman who has always held a special place in his heart. Could working together to save Pops’s ranch help to heal the past…and create a loving future neither imagined?

Happy Fourth of July!

by

Our independence did not come easily. Nor were our first years as a nation free from problems and controversies (as is still true). But our forefathers were determined to establish a free and democratic system of government. The Declaration of Independence, together with our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, became the foundation for this. They have stood the test of time, and on July 4th we give thanks for the wisdom, faith, and courage of those leaders.

It’s what every Fourth of July has represented ever since — an opportunity for families, acquaintances, loved ones, coworkers, and friends and foes alike to come together in remembrance of the hard-fought battles that make it possible for us to light up the night skies with the cacophony of fireworks. It’s eating hot dogs at baseball games all under the guise of the red, white, and blue, and saluting Old Glory as our hearts swell to the strains of our national anthem.

Sending you blessings and prayers on this Independence Day!

Upcoming Release – July 15th

https://www.amazon.com/Olivias-Odyssey-Westward-Hearts-Mail-Orders-ebook/dp/B0D488ZQPF?tag=pettpist-20

As a mail-order bride to a cattleman, Olivia Talbot expected her life would change.

What she didn’t expect upon her arrival was to discover she was a widow before she was a bride.

Things go from bad to worse after Olivia Talbot is let go from her position at the Butterick Pattern Company in Boston and her beloved Auntie Dee passes away. Armed with only her sewing machine and a letter of introduction to Mildred Crenshaw, proprietress of the Westward Home and Hearts Matrimonial Agency she soon finds herself corresponding with a cattleman from Cottonwood Falls, Kansas.

Arriving in Kansas, her hopes for a future with Nate Forester are dashed when the handsome sheriff delivers the news she won’t be getting married.

Sheriff Sam Wright can handle most trouble that comes his way in Cottonwood Falls. Yet, Olivia Talbot’s sapphire eyes and dark curls are a threat of a different kind, and soon she’s taking over his time and his thoughts.

As they grow closer, Olivia begins to hope there may be a future for her and Sam. Soon, however, doubts and fears start to plague her. What if he didn’t care for her as much as she cared for him? What if he fell in love with her only because he felt sorry for her?

But when an outlaw’s bullet threatens to crush the fragile seeds of love, Olivia is faced with losing him even before she has a chance to tell him she cares for him.

Will a leap of faith promise a new beginning?

Tomorrow is release day for Luna and I’m so excited to share this sweet and wholesome historical romance with you!

Set in 1914, the story includes a train robbery, a 4th of July parade, bronc bustin’, wheat harvest, and fun historical details woven throughout.

She’s searching for peace and grace

He’s ready to step into his next big adventure

Haunted by memories of the fateful day that changed her life, Luna Campanelli seeks a fresh start in Pendleton, Oregon. Life in the wild western town is nothing like she imagined, although the rugged beauty of the area soothes her troubled spirit. An unlikely friendship with one of the area ranch hands lifts her hopes, until she discovers the cowboy isn’t who he’s led her to believe.

Hunter Douglas didn’t intend to hide his identity from the woman he met on the train, but when she assumed he was his sister’s hired hand, he didn’t correct her. He never anticipated forming such a deep connection to her, especially when thoughts of her continue to infiltrate his carefully made plans. As a recent college graduate with an inheritance he intends to use to start his own ranch in Pendleton, Hunter must decide if he is willing to open his heart and include Luna in his future.

Will they embrace the unexpected love that has blossomed between them, or let fear tear them apart?

This sweet and wholesome romance is a story of love, healing, and the power of hope in a delightful western setting. Join Luna and Hunter on their journey as they discover what it truly means to love unconditionally.

When Pressman’s Christmas Tree Farm goes up in flames only weeks before Christmas, Stuart seeks help from his insurance agent. However, he wasn’t expecting her to be a female version of Scrooge.

Other than giving the minimum payout, she doesn’t have any personal interest in the case. To be honest, she hates Christmas. It’s filled with nothing but bad memories.

Stuart is praying for a miracle. Allison just wants to put the whole season behind her. Then she discovers some of the reasons Stuart is so desperate to save his farm and make it a success.

Will Allison let herself get caught up in the magic of the season? Can a Christmas miracle really happen not just for him, but her too?

I had the honor of doing a book signing at a wonderful store in downtown Branson, Missouri this past Saturday. Even ran into a P&P regular there! It’s always such a pleasure to see readers in person. And if you are ever in Branson, be sure to stop by the Fig Tree Books & More shop. It’s a lovely store.

She Brings Beauty To Me

By

Karen Kay

NEW RELEASE!  $3.49 — 25% off its regular price of $4.99

A woman deserted.  A troubled warrior.  A passion denied.

  1. When 18-year-old Czanna Fehér is forced to flee Hungary, she journeys with her siblings to the American West. Learning of her parent’s death in Hungary, she sings a prayer to the grand, Montana mountains. As Blackfeet scout Stands Strong prepares to help Czanna and her family, he is captivated by Czanna’s song, as well as her beauty. Yet, they share nothing in common. Can two people from incompatible cultures ever find love? Or are their star-guided paths meant to only briefly cross?

An Amazon Review

A wonderful look at the frontier life and the original people. There are not many fictional books about American Indians as well researched.

This is the fourth installment in the series entitled “Medicine Man.” Karen creates interesting unforgettable characters. Her description of what the frontier looked like before the invasion of the white people is breathtaking. Before I made it to the first chapter, I was crying over the circumstances that we find our heroine Czanna facing. She’s thrust into an unimaginable situation and placed with an insurmountable burden. Luckily our hero Stands Strong is there to save and protect her family. This beautiful story unfolds with much love, adventure and understanding how two totally different cultures can learn from one another. A sweet romance you won’t be able to put down. If you haven’t read the first three books, I strongly recommend you do. Each is unique and well written.

SHE BRINGS BEAUTY TO ME

New Release Today

Back Blurb of the Book

A woman deserted.  A troubled warrior.  A passion denied. 

When eighteen-year-old Czanna Fehér is forced to flee her home in Hungary, she journeys with her younger siblings and her father’s manservant to Montana in search of her cousin. Mourning for her recently deceased parents, she sings a prayer to the grand, Montana mountains.  From the first moment Stands Strong hears Czanna singing, he is transfixed.  When he meets her, he is captivated as much by her dark beauty as he is by her voice.

But, after the family’s hired guide steals their money and runs, her father’s servant leaves Czanna to go and serve justice to the man, leaving Czanna desolate and in charge.  Being of the gentry class in Hungary, Czanna knows she and her siblings cannot survive in this land without help.  When Stands Strong comes to her aid, she realizes she must trust this man.

Lakota born, though raised by the Blackfeet, Stands Strong descends from a long line of medicine men, but this legacy seems to have skipped over him.  Accepting this, he has become an expert scout.  But, when Czanna attempts to hire Stands Strong as their guide, offering him the “evil gold rock” as payment, he suggests marriage to him instead.  Czanna refuses him, even though the flame of love is burning heatedly in her heart.

Can two people from incompatible cultures ever come together?  Or are their star-guided paths meant only to briefly cross?

Warning:  A sensuous romance that might cause a desire to go West in search of love and adventure.

Listed today at 25% off ($3.49) it’s regular price. Also, on Kindle Unlimited.

I’m incredibly honored and excited to share the news that Challenging the Chef is the 2024 Holt Medallion Winner in the Long Contemporary category! You can see a list of all the winners here. It was such a fun surprise to get the news this weekend! I am positively giddy!

If you haven’t yet read the book, it’s part of the Summer Creek series. All the books can be read as stand alone.

When an interloper arrives in his kitchen, will romance start to simmer?

Chef Owen Thorpe left behind his celebrity status when he moved to Summer Creek. The quaint town and country atmosphere allow him to seek solace in his recipes. His peace and quiet is threatened when he’s coerced into being part of a big auction package that includes the winner spending a week cooking with him in his restaurant. The last thing he wants is some chef wannabe in his way. However, the real danger he faces is losing his heart when the winner turns out to be a beautiful woman who knows her way around a kitchen.

Burdened by the weight of her demanding career as a school psychologist, Tawni Young turns to cooking and gardening to escape from the never-ending stress of her work. When her aunt gifts her an auction package that includes cooking lessons in the small town of Summer Creek, Tawni realizes the chef she’ll be working with is none other than a celebrity she had a huge crush on during her college years. From the moment the two of them meet, an undeniable attraction sizzles while wits collide.

As they embark on a tantalizing journey of culinary delights, will Tawni and Owen discover the most important ingredient is love?

In this heartwarming and deliciously wholesome tale, Challenging the Chef takes readers on a savory adventure filled with sweet romance.
