Kyra Jacobs talks latest in The Miles of Montana series with Norah and Rhett’s story.

February 24, 2026 · Posted by Tule Publishing

Hello, everyone! I hope the year is off to a great start and you’re surviving whatever Mother Nature has sent your way. Here in Northeastern Indiana, it’s been snowier than usual. And while the snow-covered landscape is pretty, I’m itching for spring to roll in any day now.

Crazy weather aside, this time of year mirror’s the beginning timeline for my February book release—THE RODEO COWBOY’S REDEMPTION. Galentine’s Day (the day before Valentine’s Day) is when we first see Norah and Rhett’s worlds collide (literally) and frustrations flare. And, oh, did I have fun writing these two!

Stubborn? Check.

Independent? Check Check.

Sexual Tension? Check, Check, and Check.

Where these two don’t immediately match is their relationships with their families. The Miles family is close-knit and supportive, even protective at times. They’re the kind of family Rhett Foster only wishes he had as a kid. And honestly, being Jaxon Miles’s best friend, he did spend a good deal of time around them growing up. But his own family life is a bit messier, and the relationship with his dad…tenuous at best.

Which made falling for Norah Miles that much more complicated. There are rules in this new, post-rodeo reality that must be followed and lines not to cross. Just like “there’s no crying in baseball”, Rhett’s father is adamant that “though shalt not date our client”. But when the heart gets involved, sometimes hard and fast rules get stretched… 

In addition to guiding this couple through their family and relationship redemption minefields, I also enjoyed incorporating the cabin renovations project into the story. I was on the tail end of a “refresh” project in my own home, and could relate to Norah agonizing over colors and textures, themes and decorations. When you put in all that time and work, you want to cross the finish line with a “product” to be proud of. The way my brain works, there is usually a LOT of contemplation over major (and sometimes even minor) design changes. I’ve been known to take months to settle on a new paint color for rooms in my house. LOL

So far, @myorangeeditor has approved of all the interior design changes. Though, he’d prefer I spend less time helping install LVP or backsplash tile and more time at my computer desk…

Speaking of writing—have you heard the news? I’ve signed on with Tule to continue our time together at the Flying J Ranch! Stay tuned for more books to come with all of your favorite cast members from The Miles of Montana series. And I’ll even offer you a hint about the female lead in book 1 of the new series:  her last name isn’t Miles, but you do get to meet her in THE RODEO COWBOY’S REDEMPTION… 😉

These Immortal Vows

by Kelsey McKnight

Familiars serve. Vampires command. But hearts never obey.

Cassandra Rollins was born to serve the immortal. A human familiar bound to the will of vampires, she’s spent her life walking the razor’s edge between power and peril. No creature—living or undead—has ever shaken her control. Until him.

Ruairidh Calder, a Scottish vampire forged in battle and haunted by centuries of war, is ready to abandon his wandering life. But when he settles in New York’s glittering vampire court, he’s forced to rely on Cassandra—his reluctant guide and the one human who defies him at every turn.

Their fiery clash ignites a forbidden desire neither can contain. Yet when vampires and their human familiars begin to vanish, their uneasy partnership turns into a fight for survival. In a city pulsing with dark magic and ancient rivalries, Cassandra must decide whether to trust the immortal who tempts her heart—or risk losing everything to the darkness hunting them both.

The Bachelor’s Winning Bid

by Nicole Flockton

Sunflower “Sunny” Bloom has always been an introvert, happier working in the family flower farm than talking with people, but it’s time to step out of her comfort zone.

With her sisters blissfully partnered, Sunny enters a Valentine’s Day bachelorette auction, dreaming of her own shot at love. Worst decision ever. She doesn’t know what to wear or how to do her hair and makeup, and only one person bids on her after endless seconds of silence. Mortified, Sunny flees.

Burned-out architect Thorne Westbrook traded corporate grind for his own firm and a balanced life, but blueprints can’t fill the void. At the auction, on a whim, he bids high on the wide-eyed beauty no one else wants. She vanishes before hello, so he chases her to small-town Marietta, Montana, hungry for that date…and maybe more.

Defenses crumble over dinner confessions, fascination blooms and passions ignite. But can two wary, guarded people trust each other to finally get it right?

Alpha Off Limits

by Katja Desjarlais

A fantasy older woman hiding her past. A younger bad boy with everything to prove. It’s wrong. Unthinkable. And irresistibly tempting. 

Four months after a brutal attack and kidnapping at the hands of a drug kingpin meant to teach his notorious brothers a lesson, twenty-three-year-old engineering graduate student Grey Baker needs to seize back control of his life.

But Grey wants more from her.

Melody Zeher will never again cede control. Divorced at thirty-three and still dogged by the mental and emotional abuse of her ex, she pushes her clients to their edge and beyond and trains rescue dogs all while attempting to tamp down the burning lust her young client ignites. She doesn’t want the emotional burden of a relationship ever again.

But Grey offers to play it her way. The rules are set. Lines drawn. Limits established. What could go wrong?

The Cowboy’s Least Likely Bride

by Megan Crane

She’s chaos in scrubs. He’s control in cowboy boots. And the sparks between them? Wildfire.

Tennessee Lisle has spent his life holding everything together—his family, their businesses, the town that relies on him. He doesn’t bend. He doesn’t break. And he definitely doesn’t fall for reckless, barefoot dreamers who talk to deer and smell like wildflowers. 

Except…he might be falling for one anyway.

Matilda Stark has zero interest in playing by Cowboy Point’s rules. She’s a vet tech with a rescue animal problem, an ancient truck, and a lifelong thing for the brooding cowboy who acts like feelings are a four-letter word. Tennessee is quiet, steady, way too serious—and more addictive than sin.

He’s her opposite in every way. But Matilda’s sure they fit.

When she decides to take the initiative in the form of a puppy, it becomes clear that Tennessee will have to choose: keep playing it safe, or risk everything for the only woman who’s ever made him feel. 

And Matilda? She’s done waiting. If this is real, she’s not letting him walk away.

Not without a fight.

by Kyra Jacobs

Can they build a future with staying power?

Rodeo champion Rhett Foster walked away from Norah after one unforgettable evening last summer, vowing not to risk their friendship again.

But their magazine feature morphs into a high-stakes design contest, throwing Norah’s plans—and nerves—into chaos. To make matters worse, the only person who can help her finish the project on time is her younger brother’s best friend, the rugged cowboy she’s trying to forgive and forget.

As sawdust flies, Norah and Rhett can’t ignore the sparks igniting between them. Will they risk their hearts for a chance at love, or let fear ride them out of each other’s lives for good?
