As most of you know, writers are weird.:) I don’t mean that in a bad way. After all, I’m a writer. But even I must admit that not only talking to imaginary people but also having imaginary people talk to me is a bit…well, weird. Unless you’re a writer.

What does this have to do with The Christmas Cowboy, my November 7 release, you ask? Liam McFarland, the hero of this book, almost took over his brother Logan’s book. I had to slap him down several times, promising him that yes, he would get his own book with his own heroine but no, Logan’s book (The Wrong Brother) wasn’t his! You couldn’t really blame the guy since Logan’s heroine originally came to Marietta to get to know Liam. And Liam does play an important part in Logan’s book.

Liam listened to me and backed off. Begrudgingly, I might add. But Logan told him in no uncertain terms that his brother needed to butt out of The Wrong Brother. Which he didn’t exactly do but he tried. Anyway, after writing Logan’s book I got to finally write Liam’s. 

I’m always asking my husband and daughter, both in the medical profession, questions. Val Fletcher, the heroine of this book, is pregnant throughout. (Don’t worry. It’s not a spoiler. You find this out really quickly at the beginning.) My daughter was a OB/GYN Physician’s Assistant. I asked her all sorts of questions. I like to be as accurate as I can be. Sometimes she’ll ask me a question and I’ll say, “I don’t know. She (or he) hasn’t told me yet. It took her a while to understand my characters do talk to me. I can’t explain it. They just do. It’s when they stop talking that I have a problem.

I love this guy. Liam is sweet, he’s protective, he’ll do anything for the people he loves. He loves his family. He loves his horses and his dogs and pretty soon he falls in love with his heroine, Val, although he doesn’t think she’s in love with him. He doesn’t know, although she told me several times, that Val is in love with him and has been forever.

Their journey from a marriage of convenience to a full-fledged love was a joy to write. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

They’ve never had a Christmas like this

Take-no-prisoners rancher Joanna (Joey) Halligan hadn’t believed the kind of love she felt for Nash Westbrook was even possible. So, when he walked away despite still declaring his love for her, broken-hearted, Joey fled. Now she’s back, and carrying a surprise that even Santa wouldn’t have guessed. Joey is having Nash’s child. A Christmas baby!

Rodeo champ come entrepreneur, Nash Westbrook, has never regretted anything in his life as much as leaving Joey Halligan. But how else could he keep her safe? The investment fraud he’d been wrongfully dragged into had destroyed so many people, and many of them wanted to extract their revenge. Now she’s back and carrying his child. A vulnerable child—and that’s a game changer.

Nash is determined to prove to Joey that his love has never dimmed; that he’ll never leave her—them—again. But with new evidence against him emerging, he’ll need all the Christmas magic of the season to truly keep that promise.

Zach Dawson proudly served his country for twelve years until an injury ended his military career. He holds his secrets close, but he’ll help Isabelle find her father—even if the man doesn’t want to be found. And if he’s also sewing up a storm at Isabelle’s quilt shop, and appreciating every moment spent with her, it doesn’t have to mean anything, much.

Unless he can somehow persuade Isabelle to take a chance on love? That’s a mission he’s eager to accept.

Cami Hardesty might have a problem saying no.  Not that she doesn’t love her full life teaching school, herding six-year-olds in Christmas pageants, and helping on her family’s guest ranch. But finding an abandoned newborn at a pageant rehearsal accompanied by a note asking for Cami’s help might just be the thing that breaks her. No one recommends she champion the child. But how can she say no to this infant who needs her and awakens an unexpected want? When the town’s temporary vet takes her side, Cami imagines a life she never had.

For years, Gus Claymore has taken temporary vet gigs and carefully avoided entanglements after the passing of his wife. But Christmas in Marietta blindsides him—the baby’s plight, his young daughter’s hunger for roots and family, and his unexpected and unwanted feelings for Cami. Love? He didn’t think that was in the cards for him again. He has a pending job in Denver, and now an impossible choice.

Can this one, lost baby be the Christmas miracle that changes all their lives?
