A historical and contemporary release, all in one month

May was a busy month for me.

I had 2 very important book releases (and another coming at the end of this month)

The first was, of course, Bullseye Bride. That is my Pink Pistol Sisterhood book. I hope you all had a chance to read it and enjoyed Kitty and Thad’s turn with the pistol. It’s getting some wonderful reviews, so that is exciting. That story is an “across the tracks” romance where Thad is an influential member of the community but Kitty has struggled her entire life, buried under the weight of her father’s poor choices. But Kitty is no damsel in distress, she’s ready to do whatever it takes to pull her family out of poverty. Honestly, so many people emailed and told me that they want the brother’s stories, I’ve already planned those for sometime next year.

Release 2 was a contemporary. Operation: Return is the sequel to Operation: Restoration. We’re back on Wayside Ranch, where victims of human trafficking can heal and find their way back to some semblance of normal life. However, this romantic suspense also has a secret baby. Cole didn’t realize his girlfriend was pregnant when he left for the military. When the government accidentally counted him as dead after going undercover, Erica moved on as a single mom, never dreaming that the child’s father was still very much alive and about to show up on her doorstep.

If you like second chances, thrilling suspense, and slow-burn romance, that book is for you.

Now for book 3 (I’m already tired just thinking about another release so soon!) Get ready for Rodeo Sabotage in the Sizzling Summer collection! I’m part one of three boxed sets, each releasing a month apart. Each set is on a special preorder price that will go up after release. Just look at these covers!

He’s a champion, about to lose it all.

 

Bull riding just became even more dangerous.

 

Jase Wheaton has one thing on his mind, a perfect 8 second ride—until someone in the crowd sends his bull into a fury. Twice. No one believes his life is in danger except the EMT who saved him. The clock is ticking before his final ride of the season, but will it be the last of his life? Everyone’s a suspect when the threat could come from anyone in the crowd. Even his best friend might be his worst enemy.

For a chance to win an ebook copy of any one of my three books above (Bullseye Bride, Operation: Return, or Stay With Me), comment how much suspense do you like with your cowboy romance (all three have a little).

Happy Spring. We’ve had a beautiful one here in Texas, flowers in full bloom and everything sprouting new growth. Just hope we get enough rain this year to keep it that way.

The wildflowers are in full bloom now. Almost every roadside is colored with brilliant blooms of primrose, Indian paintbrush, verbena, brown-eyed Susans, bluebonnets and countless varieties I can’t name but enjoy all the same. But this picture was taken in my back yard when a friendly neighborhood deer came to check out the golf course.

By now I hope many of you have had the chance to read COVER ME.  I was fortunate enough to team up with two of my

favorite Intrigue writers, Rita Herron and Mallory Kane, to pen a sensual romantic suspense of cold cases created in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Since I lived many years in New Orleans, the story was especially close to my heart.

Eight years ago, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, three men lost everything. Now it’s time to reclaim what is theirs….

Don’t miss this one.

And in June, the first book in the Big D Dads, The Daltons, series will be available in paperback or digital format from your favorite on-line or local bookseller. As a mother and grandmother, TRUMPED UP CHARGES truly touched my heart.

When a Mother’s love meets a father’s instinct….

Ex-Marine Adam Dalton once dreamed of a life with Hadley O’Sullivan, but the war and a near-fatal injury cost him dearly. Now he returns to Dallas to discover the unthinkable—Hadley is the prime suspect in the disappearance of her twin baby girls….the daughters he never knew he had.

 

  Beyond Hadley’s terror of having her children kidnapped is the shock of seeing Adam. Yes, she had kept him from his daughters, but now, when he insists they work together as a united front, she knows she is still in love with him. Despite their past, finding their children is their only hope to finally become a family—if time doesn’t run out first.

And in December, watch for UNREPENTANT COWBOY, the second book is in the Dalton family’s adventures.
