Look What's NEW

An Agent for Sabrina  Book 30

The newest in the Pinkerton Matchmaker series is up and running. I think you're going to enjoy this Sweet historical romance with fun and faith and always a happily-ever-after.

She is running from her past.

He is running from his future.

Sabrina Jones never expected to be set free from her life as a saloon girl. Thanks to a gift from Rand Ketcham, a notorious bounty hunter, she was able to leave her old life in the saloons. Colorado was where she wanted to go. What to do was still a mystery until she reached Denver and saw an ad in the paper for women to apply as Pinkerton agents. She figured she’d be good. All those years in the saloon had taught her how to read people. That ought to come in handy as a detective.

Tom Wesley liked the free, wild life. He was a Pinkerton agent and good at it. Not many would challenge his gun or fist. Only his father. Preacher Jacob Wesley was a strict man. Tom had left because of his rules. But the old man still had strings attached to him. Growing up under the Word of the Lord to obey your father were glued to Tom’s soul. So far, he hadn’t outrun them, though he’d tried awful hard.

He had until he was thirty. At least that was what his father had told him. Tom tried to duck the words, but they haunted him. Then again, he was only twenty-nine.

When their lives collide, Tom and Sabrina are thrown together in a case that will test them both.

I was talking the other day about writing and some of the surprises that our stories and characters come up with. Yes, they can and do surprise the author. 

Greta was in trouble. Big trouble. And her family was in danger. What she did was so innovative and different that all I could do after writing it was shut my computer an send it to my proofreader. If she thought it was too much, I'd rewrite it.

Good thing - she loved it. 

Take a look and see what you think.


Greta's Story will be on SALE

Greta's Story

A sweet historical Christian romance. 1867 

The farm was finished. Greta kicked at the dead plants and reeled at the warring emotions roiling inside her. Dread that she and Grandpapa would starve, and relief that now, she had no choice but to go to Chase Logan. She’d agreed to be his mail order bride and prayed she’d made the right decision.

Chase Logan had sent Greta the money to come to Texas. He needed a good woman. His hands shook as he read the letter. She was coming. His nights wouldn’t be lonely. No longer would he and his two brothers have to eat beans every meal. Yeah, he’d done the right thing. He needed a woman.

Penelope



Welcome to the blog hop.  Links to the next blog are below.  Have fun and enjoy.
Penelope

Hello, I'm Penelope, the preacher's daughter. I dropped in to tell you a little about my story.

To say that I was completely misunderstood by everyone is an understatement. I did everything by the Book, but I had no friends much less a man that might be interested in me.

Well, perhaps I really was the one that didn't understand, but that's part of my story.

In the little town of Duston, Texas, I was known as the too-gooder. Can you imagine the name-calling, the embarrassment, and the rejection that I was subject, too? All because I tried to help others by pointing out their faults.

I was at a loss on how to have friends much less get a man to like me. And then my parents brought that preacher from Chico to dinner thinking I would settle for him. 

Something had to be done. I needed to find out how to get people to like me. A gang of mischievous outlaws, the Burketts, provided me with an opportunity. The town loved the gang. Yes, they took things, but they usually helped those in trouble and gave to those in need. The Burkets knew how to make friends. 

So, it came to me in a flash of brilliance. To get people to like me, and maybe find a man who would marry me, I'd join the gang. 

As you can imagine, things didn't work out according to my plan.
But ...  well, you'll just have to read my story.

Valentine Countdown Day 7

Welcome to the fabulous Valentine Event of 2019

This is DAY 7
If you have missed some days, you have time to go back and read wholesome romance tips and get more chances to win sweet romance ebooks. 

WE were all to write about sweet romance tips. I chose TRUST. 

Trust the one you love. I know there have been times when my husband and I have gotten crossways with one another. Usually over stupid things. I know I'm not the only one. And have you ever been there and can't wait to rail at your spouse and let all that anger loose on them? Especially if you think he was the one who messed up. 
Then I would hear that small sweet voice. And the Lord would say to me. He loves you. You know that. Trust him.
And the anger would go. Sometimes like a popped balloon, other times it waited for me to make the decision to let the anger go. Trust the one you love.
 1 Cor 13: 4-8

FREE Today only - 01-10-19 The Judge's Bride

Come on in to Solomon's Valley Montana and meet the Judge and Rachel.
THE JUDGE'S BRIDE  < FREE 01-10-19
Love Happens... Even when you have 10 kids.

Rachel held the letter in her hand as she watched the banker come up the lane. He was taking the farm. Wasn't it enough she'd been widowed 2 years ago. Worse, good meaning townspeople wanted her to disperse her ten children to families who needed them. She had to keep her family together. The letter from the judge in Montana. Her only hope of keeping her family together was to go west to Montana as a mail order bride.
Judge Solomon Taggart groaned at having to referee a dispute between the two feuding families. That even their children were at each other made him doubt the wisdom of sending that letter to the widow in Minnesota. She had children. She didn't say how many, and he hadn't asked. He grabbed his rifle and swung up in the saddle, praying there'd be no bloodshed. And then he prayed he'd been wise to send that letter.
