    • Heartbreak’s Reward~ MFRW Book Hooks ~ Alone With Him?

      Posted at 12:39 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on August 27, 2014

      Today I bring you a short “hook” from my upcoming release Heartbreak’s Reward, Book Two in the Double Dutch Ranch: Love at First Sight series. Coming early September 2014.

      It’s Wednesday again!
      Welcome back for Book Hooks.
      This is a weekly meme hosted by Marketing for Romance Writers as part of the MFRW Authors Blog.

      #MFRWHooks #MFRWAuthors

      Come on. Take a chance. Get HOOKED on a new author.

      Tagline: Sometimes a wrong turn takes you to the right place.

      Setup: They haven’t known each other long. Jase invited Brenna for dinner. He hesitated to tell her where they’d be going…

      Excerpt:

      He placed his hand over her arm, playing two fingers over her skin. “Is it all right with you? I would have asked sooner, but I feared you’d say no.”

      “Um…um.” Oh, damn, now what? Alone with him under the stars. In front of that big Superstition?

      “Brenna?” He stretched over and stroked her chin, turning her face toward him. “You can trust me. I’ve had more than one chance to ravish you. I could right now, right here.”

      But what about trusting herself? Her insides tumbled like an offset dryer. “Okay,” she managed to get out. “I like homemade steak—especially the badass kind.” Her voice was higher than she recognized as her own. Was it fear? Kind of—but maybe not the kind of fear she had expected. He wasn’t the one she was afraid of. Her body’s reaction to him is what caused her fear.

      Sensual Contemporary Western Romance

      Coming Early September 2014

      What is this book about?

      Rancher Jase Carlson doesn’t understand the ache in the hollow of his chest, since his ex-wife ripped his heart out. She doesn’t follow the court rules where his children are concerned, making him even more pissed off. Harboring a bad attitude, he wishes he wasn’t a gentleman when he comes to the aid of a hot-headed, sexy blonde. He can’t allow her tight jeans and sweet smile to sway him, even after he’s coerced into spending time alone with her.

      Brenna Page has too many of her own issues to deal with at the moment, not to mention being guardian to her rebellious sixteen-year-old sister. The last thing she needs is a grudge-filled cowboy…but his intense blue eyes and muscles-to-die-for, say something she’s never heard before.

      One wrong turn. Two broken families. Brought together by chance…and need.

      ______________________________________________________________________________

      Let me tell you ahead of time that Jase is one to be reckoned with. He’s a hero after my own heart.

    • Countdown to Cover Reveal for Summer Release

      Posted at 11:28 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on June 30, 2014

      ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????You don’t hear me talk a whole lot about the second book in the Double Dutch Ranch Series: Love at First Sight, other than to say it exists. I haven’t released the title yet, but it can be found in the back matter of Cowboy Boss.

      This is the week I’ll do a cover reveal. My mailing list subscribers have already seen it. I’ve kept fairly quiet about what this book is about. The blurb that accompanies the cover reveal will give more information. Expect this book to be out this summer.

      Cowboy Boss and his Destiny is book one. DidWelcome_to_Arizona_Sign (2) you know this book was a Top Pick with a rocking five stars at The Romance Reviews?

      Of course, I hope you like the Carlson family enough to want to check them all out. This series keeps growing. Now, there’s a book four. A new love blooms at the Double Dutch Ranch. But…that isn’t all. An idea for a fifth book came to mind.0013 (4) extra small

      The hero in book two is Jase Carlson. He’s Tristan’s oldest brother. Jase is introduced in the first book, but his life took a huge turn. You can’t have a romance without a heroine. Jase fought me all the way on this…until he remembered something about women—how good it feels to hold one. This is where Brenna Page comes in… You’ll meet them both this week.

      Also…

      Cropped and low pixel 2I’ve been consumed with the second book in the Bull Rider Series. Nothing about this book went to plan except I wrote the story that called to me, and then cut about 10K words. Hey, Cowboy, Bk 2 will be out in July 2014. Sometimes it feels like I lived this story, I’ve been with it so long. If only I could feel that cowboy Caulder’s kisses. Kinky? LOL I even dreamed Velia’s nightmare once.

      See y’all later this week… Until then please be safe. Don’t forget the sun protection. 🙂
