Hello Romance Readers,
It's still blazing hot here in Texas. With the kids back in school I hope to get back to sending my newsletter out twice a month starting in September. I also hope to get more stories written before the end of 2023. I want to thank everyone for sharing their favorite reads, my TBR list was filled with great books that kept me entertained while I traveled to and from Australia and Malaysia.
If you have read my Ladies of Risk series you might want to preorder the Night of Lyon's Anthology to read what Charlotte Grandstone has been up to. Below is an exclusive sneak peek (unedited)
"The candle on the corner of Charlotte Grandstone’s desk flickered as she raised the coveted invitation to the infamous Lyon’s Den masquerade ball to eye level and studied the embossed image—the letters BDL along with a holly sprig. A lump formed in her throat as she set the parchment with golden flecks interwoven back down upon the wood surface. The shimmering flickers of yellow reminded her of the man whose eyes beheld the same allure. The man who evoked both ire and longing within her every time they met, and yet Elijah Etwell, the Earl of Camdon, was also her nemesis."
AUGUST FREEBIE
This month's FREE BOOK is The Wren
by Kristy McCaffrey
“A rousing, spicy story of long lost love in the gritty Old West. The Wren will make your pulse flutter and your heart sing.” —Ann Charles, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Award-winning Deadwood Mystery Series
Ten years have passed since Molly Hart’s ranch was attacked, her folks murdered, and she was abducted. Now, at nineteen, she’s finally returning home to North Texas after spending the remainder of her childhood with a tribe of Kwahadi Comanche. What she finds is a deserted home coated with dust and the passage of time, the chilling discovery of her own gravesite, and the presence of a man she thought never to see again.
Matt Ryan is pushed by a restless wind to the broken-down remains of the Hart ranch. Recently recovered from an imprisonment that nearly ended his life, the drive for truth and fairness has all but abandoned him. For ten years he faithfully served the U.S. Army and the Texas Rangers, seeking justice for the brutal murder of a little girl, only to find closure and healing beyond his grasp.
Returning to the place where it all began, he’s stunned to encounter a woman with the same blue eyes as the child he can’t put out of his mind.
A sensuous historical western romance set in 1877 Texas.
