Hi everyone! I’m Nicole Flockton and I’m excited to be with you all today.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I write contemporary romances set in cities and small towns. I also write steamy protector romances with heroes that will do anything to keep you safe. I love watching sports, with my kindle in my hand, throwing glitter around social media, tiaras and chocolate. I’ve got two adult children, one loving husband, a needy Pomeranian and two indulged cats.
If I’m a little slow in responding to your comments today, it’s because when this post goes live I shall be sleeping! Why is that you may ask? Well, it’s because I’m coming to you from the most isolated city in the world – Perth, Western Australia.
While Perth is a bustling metropolis, in terms of our location, we’re like those small country towns that don’t often get visited. Many people who live on the east coast of Australia grumble about coming to Perth because it’s so far away but for me it’s always been home and the best thing about Perth is we’re only a forty-minute ferry ride across the Indian Ocean to the cutest animals in the world – the Quokka! Now that’s worth the endless flight and losing a day from the USA to see. Or the five-hour flight from Sydney!
I should also mention that for 12 years I lived in Houston Texas. Houston definitely makes Perth look like a small town.
My latest book Headstrong Cowboy is set in Tule Publishing’s iconic small-town Marietta Montana and is part of a 4-book series centered around the annual Copper Mountain Rodeo. I was so excited to contribute to the legacy of Marietta and created the Bloom family, who run a flower farm in Marietta – something a little different than them running a ranch.
Chrysanthemum (Chrissy) Bloom, is the oldest daughter and she’s back at the farm after her divorce and the sad passing of her former husband. The farm is in financial difficulties and she feels it’s her responsibility to save it.
Ryder Chamberlain, is a bull rider who was forced to end his career earlier than planned due to injury. He’s landed in Marietta to fulfil a wish from his long-deceased mother, a wish he didn’t know about until recently. Only to do that, he’s going to have to go head-to-head with Chrissy.
The book is full of family love, secrets and two people who find out that what they thought they wanted is the opposite of what they actually need. Guaranteed happy ever after, it is a romance after all.
Headstrong Cowboy
When Chrysanthemum Bloom returns home to the family flower farm after her father’s death, she finds it on the brink of bankruptcy. Her mother is determined to sell it, but Chrissy believes she can turn the business around if given the chance. She enters the Copper Mountain Rodeo’s barrel racing competition in the hope of winning some prize money, never mind that she hasn’t competed in years.
Ryder Chamberlain’s bull riding career ended suddenly when he lost an argument with the bull he was riding. Following his late mother’s wishes, he arrives in Marietta, determined to reclaim what had been taken. The Bloom Flower farm sits on land once owned by his kin and is Ryder’s for the buying, until he meets Chrissy and discovers it’s not going to be an easy purchase after all.
Both Chrissy and Ryder are determined to win the fight for the farm, but the unexpected attraction that flares between them has them both wondering if, instead of fighting, becoming a team is the best outcome for all.
