Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well
and staying safe!
I have some exciting news (a couple of ‘firsts’ for me)! My novel The Maverick & Miss Miller, the first story in the Matchmaker Mischief series, is up for pre-order. Why is this exciting (and a little scary)? I’ve never had a book up for pre-order! Here’s the link and what it’s about.

Who ever heard of a mail-order
husband?
Evie Miller certainly hadn’t until Jake Hannigan showed up on her doorstep
thanks to an advertisement her niece placed in papers all over the country,
unbeknownst to her. Evie has absolutely no need for a husband. She has managed
Montaña del Trueno, the Silva family ranch, and raised her late sister’s
children to full-grown and married. Now, she plans to spend her days enjoying
the fruits of her labor. But the man did come a long way, so rather than send
him home, she offers him a job. Though she has no use for a husband, she can
always use another ranch hand.
Jake Hannigan, a former gambler, has no desire to marry either—not really—he’s
just looking for a place to hide until the gambling kingpin in San Francisco
stops looking for him, and what better place to do it than this ranch in New
Mexico? He’s happy to accept the position as ranch hand even if he knows
nothing about cowboying or how to ride a horse. He’s a fast learner, though,
and it could be entertaining to see who else answers the husband-wanted
advertisement.
It doesn’t take long for Jake to catch on, even discovering he has a special
talent with horses. He’s also quick to understand what a catch Evie Miller
actually is. As their friendship blossoms, he finds himself dreading the next
suitor to come to the ranch and the possibility Evie will accept an offer of
marriage. How can he reveal his growing feelings to her when he came under
false pretenses, especially now that word from San Francisco says the kingpin
is close and his life is in danger? He has only one choice. To protect Evie and
her family, he must leave and quite possibly break both their hearts.
And that’s not all! I entered A Kiss
in the Shadows into a BookSweeps contest. I’ve never done that before
either.

And that’s it for me. Gotta get back to work.
The Marshal & Mrs. Morgan, the next story in the Matchmaker Mischief
series, won’t write itself.
Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread
kindness wherever you go!
