Hello again and Sweetwater Springs NEWS!

I’ve been an absolute slug about posting here. I never seem to get anyone interested in talking to me or responding in any way to my posts. So, even though I feel like I’m whispering into a void, I’ll continue to post every so often when I have new releases.

I forgot to post here that I’ve released several books, including two in the Sweetwater Springs series. Yes, they were in the sidebar, but not really featured. So, here they are:

I’m also working diligently to produce more books in both the Sweetwater Springs series and Married By Necessity (Historical) series. My next up is #6: All In.

All In is #6 in the Sweetwater Springs series. Current projected drop date is 6/17/25. As I write this, it’s with my editor.

Remember Cass (Cassandra Bing/Baxter) from His Small Town Princess? This book features Mac, her “cousin” (Or is he her brother?) who comes to town to start a barbecue restaurant and connect with the only family he has left.
I’ve paired him with Carla Singleton, a waitress who is down on her luck and has deep emotional scars she’s working hard to overcome.

TROPES:
* Small-town romance
* Afraid to commit
* Emotional scars
* Next-door lover
* Secrets
* Workplace romance
* Other man drama
* Other woman drama

Widow Hansen Weds is the 2nd in my Married By Necessity series.

Nina Hansen is a newly widowed mother of two little girls whose marriage was not a love match. She’s being pressured to sell her land and posts an ad for a husband in the local mercantile. It causes quite a stir among the local population, especially when Levi Wheeler answers that ad.

While Levi is three years younger than her, he’s grown up on a ranch and believes he’s prepared to take on a family and work the property. But can he convince the wary widow that romantic love is what’s missing in her life?

TROPES:
Cinnamon Roll Hero
Close Proximity
Damsel in distress
Dude in distress
Guarded heart
Historical romance
Innocent cohabitation
Marriage of necessity/convenience
Rural romance
Single Parent
Small Town Romance
Spicy slow burn
Strangers to lovers
Strong heroine
Western Frontier
Widow

Stay tuned -I’m actually writing two books at once right now. I’m currently working on WIDOW HANSEN WEDS and the 7th Sweetwater Springs book, HER HOLIDAY DARE, which features Lucy Melton a good friend to Carla Singleton (SS Bk 6 heroine) and Lucy’s best friend, Roman Tisdale.

More about that later…
