Stowaway Angel
Harlequin Special Releases
December 1, 2013
ASIN: B0092MTFTE
Charlie McGraw never should have bought the angel book for his precocious daughter. Because then Meredith wouldn't be convinced that getting a new mommy was as simple as having an "angel" sprinkle him with her "miracle dust." And she never would have believed the beautiful blond-haired woman who drove a truck called the "Silver Angel" was some treetop angel come to life.

Starla Richards was no
angel. But try telling that to a five-year-old who was so starved for a
mother's love that she'd stowed away on Starla's rig. Or convincing
herself that miracles just didn't happen to ordinary people when Starla
found herself snowbound with a handsome, caring widower and his adorable
daughter….

The Irish Brides trilogy was so much fun to work on, with authors Renee Ryan and Winnie Griggs. Our assignment was to tell the tales of three sisters coming to America to discover the secret of a mysterious inheritance. Follow them from Castleville, Ireland as they make their journey to Boston Harbor and the coastal village where they hope to unravel the mystery of the man who loved their mother. We enjoyed working together on this project, and our first glimpses of these covers took our breath away.
THE WEDDING JOURNEY
The mysterious inheritance is the answer to a
prayer. Now Irish lass Maeve Murphy and her sisters can come to America. She's
sure happiness awaits her, even if it won't--can't--come from widowed ship
doctor Flynn Gallagher. Yes, he made her his assistant, but she's not foolish
enough to fall for the man all the eligible, wealthy female passengers admire.
Flynn Gallagher may have his pick of ladies, but only one cares as he does for the sick and poor. Flynn vowed never to marry another woman who would break his heart. With Maeve, has his heart found safe harbor at last?

In 1850 Ireland, Darcy Keegan secretly plans to escape the drudgery of the prison where her father is warden to start a life elsewhere. Her plans are thwarted by a young boy who's been imprisoned and whom she can't bring herself to leave until she knows he will be safe.
Vaughn Donnelly has recently returned to Castleville to add a wing to the penitentiary, and is captivated by the young lass he observes in the prison yard.

MARRYING THE PREACHER’S DAUGHTER
ISBN: 9780373828722
Readers who remember The Preacher’s Wife, the story of Samuel Hart who
lost his wife during a wagon train trip west and married Josie to make her the
mother of his three daughters have been asking for more stories about the Hart
family. Marrying the Preacher’s Daughter is the oldest daughter, Elizabeth’s
story. I thought a long time before I came up with the perfect man for her. The
perfect man for a fun story was the least compatible person I could think of
for a preacher’s daughter: A bounty hunter.
Bounty hunting was just a job for Gabe Taggart—one he needed to fund
his sister's education. But now Gabe is
ready to settle down and set aside his past. His adventuring days are
over…until his intervention in a train robbery leaves him injured, under
Elizabeth Hart's care. Despite his plans for a quiet life, antagonizing his
feisty caretaker is the most fun Gabe's ever had. Elizabeth provokes him, too,
with her strong mind, kind heart and high principles. Gabe hopes to win her
love, but will his dark history bar him from marriage to the preacher's
daughter?
HER WYOMING MAN
ISBN: 9780373296477
The titles with men in states continue! (Previously: Her Montana Man,
Her Colorado Man) The books are not connected, but editorial loves this twist
and apparently marketing believes my books are recognizable by the titles. For
me the title is secondary to this amazing cover. I love the beautiful colors.
Courtesan Ella Reed escapes dangerous city life to rural Wyoming and
says "I do" to a marriage of convenience! But she may not live the
life of a respectable woman for long if she can't keep her past—and her
heart—under lock and key.
For a self-made man with political aspirations, love is trivial in a paper marriage. Nathan Lantry needs a wife to secure his election and manage his rowdy little boys. Yet he can't stop wanting more from his irresistible new bride. Then her secrets start to unravel….

Her Wyoming Man was so much fun to write! I have two favorite themes I
like to read and write: a character pretending to be someone he or she is not –
and – a fish out of water. This story is both. Readers are already telling me
it’s among their favorites of my books.
JOE’S WIFE
ASIN: B0056H7R0I
I’m excited about the digital release of a reader favorite and a book
that’s been out of print for years. I diminished my own supply long ago by
sending out one book at a time to readers who couldn’t find a copy.
Tye Hatcher loved Meg Telford since they were very young, but he’s a
bad boy from the wrong side of town, and she was in love with golden boy Joe
Telford, a man who was everything Tye is not…a man who deserved a wife like
her.
But then came the war. Both men fought. Only one came home. The
beautiful young widow is determined to keep the land and house she and Joe
struggled for, determined to keep Joe’s dream alive. But she can’t do it alone.
When Meg approaches Tye and asks him to work the farm with her—marry her
to keep the land and prevent tongues from wagging, he can’t say no.
Now he’s married to the woman who has his heart…but he’s living in the
shadow of another man. Tye will move heaven and earth to win her love—but will
his efforts be enough?
