Hey, Cowboy #2
A break in the season finds Velia Armano and Caulder McCutchen back in Tucson, Arizona. Family, friends, and rowdy cowboys are brought together to share in their joyā¦and sometimes their pain. The last year with Caulder has given her trust and strength like sheās never known. But, her strength is weakened. Enemies harbor a vendetta against her and her familyā¦and anyone who gets in their way. Caulder vows to protect Velia, yet little does he know the lengths he must go. He learns that sometimes a hero has to prove he is one.
Review:Ā I recommend reading this in order of the book series. I love Velia using her Italian language in both books. Also Caulder being strong but gentle at the same time. These two show what passion they have not only in each other but in their interest as well. I enjoyed how they brought both families together. I can not wait for the next book in this series.

A misunderstanding, and a startling realization discovered too lateāputs their contented little family at risk.
Review: The plot was well done and the love of his family for the best future. The author captures your imagination and runs with it happily to the end. Amazon Reviewer
This boxed set came out of the blue. It had been on my mind for a couple years, but I wasn’t all that serious about it. While waiting on my upcoming new release, which is still with the editor, I figured it had been long enough without a new release. As if I didn’t have enough to do with moving and packing and working on a brand-new book, I couldn’t think of a better time to put together this boxed set.
Everything else fell in line like lining up my formatter and cover designer and figuring out exactly how to create a boxed set. It wasn’t as easy as it sounds, but here we are. You can find the same thing as above on the Bull Rider Series Page Here, but I wanted to do this announcement up right and the page will remain while this post will eventually get lost in the shuffle. You can read longer blurbs on the Bull Rider Series page with the individual books. š¤ š
UPDATE on my upcoming book in Canyon Junction: Hearts in Love series #3. I’m expecting to release this book in September after I am moved. I’m not sure when I’ll do a cover reveal, but I have to tell you, this cover blew me away. All I needed to see was the first draft and that was enough. No changes whatsoever were needed.
Thanks for visiting!

Revised from the original to avoid spoilers.
How’s your weekend going so far? Coloring Easter eggs? I remember those days. It used to be so much fun to do with the kids, both my own and students. My weekend? Same old, same old, but that isn’t bad. Here I sit at my computer with a document in front of me. I can’t complain. Well, I can complain about things, but I won’t.
Noraās mind had become unsettled. She glanced at Tristan when he entered his office through the interior door. He wore those damn chaps again. The sexy look of him wearing them lit her up inside. However, she needed to avoid him. She leaned back against her chair and stretched. This morning after her doctorās appointment, sheād taken a detour to a gift store sheād found online to purchase a special gift for Judyās birthday next month.
on.Ā At home, Caulder lowered his son to the porch then stood the tree against the building. āIāll put the lights on before I leave. Let me put the tools away.ā
Jase took her hand and led her in the direction of the restaurant, but he released it almost immediately. Not that he wouldnāt have minded holding it longer. He took a big smell of her perfumeā¦shuddered. The door from the hotel was blocked. He glanced her way and shook his head. āI donāt know whatās going on. Normally, you can walk through here.ā
Nope, this isn’t Saturday, but it’s a snippet. Read down far enough you’ll find it after a bit of whining. I’ve attempted to write a post all week, but I’ve been living in pain since last Friday, and each day seems worse than the one before. Due to my own stupidity, I injured my back and hip by doing something, well, stupid. The worse part is I knew better than to lift the two extremely heavy blue shopping bags at the same time. I knew better than to try to move a huge, filled ceramic planter on my patio. I rolled, not lifted it, but the bending over position while moving it did me in, I guess.
It feels like it did when I ruptured two disks in my back and suffered from Sciatica some years ago and missed six months of work. It wasn’t until I had a steroid shot in my back, that I found relief and life began again. At this point, I can’t stand and/or walk for even five minutes without pain, and I have to sit down, which means I can’t walk into my doctor’s office, which is a long walk from the parking lot.
Today I decided to post a snippet from 
with until last month returned to the forefront. Enough of this. She stomped on the gas pedal and took the speed up to sixty, and she wasnāt comfortable driving like this on rutted Rocky Road.
Glass shattered as he busted the window with the butt of the rifle. Glass covered her. Her cheek stung. āGet your ass out of there, Roxanne.ā
