Monica has to leave home, fast. Her parents are planning to marry her off and although all her friends are marrying, that is definitely not what she wants. She’s seventeen, an amateur sleuth, and sees no reason why she can’t join the ranks of the local lawman, or even become a Texas Ranger, should she choose! 

What will happen when she visits her best friend in Texas, only to find herself face-to-face with a handsome Texas Ranger, and knee-deep in territory she has no idea how to navigate?

Snippet #3

“It wasn’t until that moment that she realized she’d put herself in a terrible position. Unless she was willing to return to the arms of a man she detested, she no longer had a home to return to, and though Jacob and Ellen were quite welcoming and kind, she had no idea how long their generosity would last. She was homeless, and isolated in a place where just the thought of a woman going for a walk alone brought panic out in a man as strong as Jacob. Her heart sunk as she began to consider that she might have made a terrible mistake.”

The summer Meredith turned eighteen was filled with romance and laughter - two young men sought her hand, and she chose the one she thought would make her the happiest. He certainly was the most handsome, and the wealthiest, and could offer her the most pleasant life. But that turned out to be a mistake . . . one she would regret for a very long time.

In a strange twist of fate, now she's being given a chance to set things right. Will she be able to live down her past, or will her foolishness keep coming back to haunt her and keep her from ever being happy with the man she loves?

Snippet:

Meredith had never been so busy in her life as she was for the next three days. Mrs. Crosby and Cissie both came over to help sew the wedding dress Meredith had insisted she didn’t need, and Cissie’s mother fell right to work baking refreshments. Meredith was grateful for all the help—she knew her friends and neighbors cared enough to give her the very best sendoff they could, and that meant everything to her.
There was one thing she couldn’t delegate, however—one thing she would do herself, no matter how much it hurt.
She waited along the road for Luke to walk home from work. He was late enough that she wondered if maybe he had taken a different route or was working for a different farmer that day, but at long last, she saw him. He usually quickened his pace when he saw her, but this time, he didn’t change speed at all.
“Hello,” she said when he finally drew near. “You look tired. Long day?”
“Pretty long. Biggest problem was a cow that wouldn’t budge from the spot where we needed to dig. Spent about twenty minutes pushing on her behind, and let me tell you, pushing on a cow behind is hard work.”
Meredith smiled. “Come for a walk to the bridge with me.”
It wasn’t a long walk, and they were soon seated side by side. This time, Meredith did pull off her shoes and stockings and dangled her feet in the water. It might be quite a while before she had a chance to do something like this again, and she wanted to enjoy it.
“Word spreads quickly around here, and I imagine you’ve already heard,” she said.
“Yep.” Luke picked up a stick that had been tossed on the bridge and used it to make swirls in the water. 
“I had to break away and talk to you myself,” she went on. “I needed . . . I needed to make sure . . .”
Luke reached out and caught her hand. “It’s all right, Meredith. We both knew this was going to happen, and I’ve had a chance to come to terms with it. I want you to be happy, and if this makes you happy, who am I to say anything different?”
He’d already told her this before, but now that that moment was actually upon them, it was so good to hear it again and know that his feelings hadn’t changed, that he was still eager to see her find joy. “Thank you,” she said, giving his hand a squeeze. “I can’t tell you how much that means. If I’d lost your friendship, this wouldn’t be a happy occasion for me.”

Jessie's Bargain

I am a stay at home mom, who loves to read and write clean historical romance. I enjoy thinking back to a simpler time, a time when men and women were true heroes. I also believe that a good romance can be told without needing to know all of the details;)

All of my stories will tell of people who find true love, and who find their happy ever after. Sometimes the road might be rocky, but that makes it all worthwhile!

Cora left England for a new life in America as a mail order bride - only to find the man she’s come to marry has been killed in a gunfight. She has a sister in Kansas, but how can she get there?

Jesse needs this job driving cattle to Kansas so he can marry the woman who’s given him an ultimatum - buy land and settle down, or she’ll marry someone who will.

But, his cook’s been killed in the same gunfight, leaving him without anyone to drive the chuckwagon. His right hand man, an old cowboy with a soft heart, has a solution for both Cora and Jesse - one he might not like.

Dressed as a boy, Cora heads off with a team of cowboys, led by a man who isn’t happy about her being there. Kansas is a long way away…and a lot can happen before they get there.

Running from hostile Indians attacking Salina, Kansas in 1862, feisty Kizzie Atwell, Grandma Mary’s oldest grandchild, runs into freighter Leander Jones traveling the Smoky Hill Trail. He is as interested in her as his stallion is in her mare. The two join forces to prevent the Fort Riley Army captain from requisitioning their beloved horses for the cavalry. Avoiding bushwhackers and fighting off a thieving bullwhacker binds their bargain.

In 1865, at the victory dance held at Fort Riley to celebrate the end of the Civil War, Kizzie is asked to participate in a fund-raiser to aid the Sanitary Commission helping injured and sick soldiers. It involves chaste sweetheart kisses in exchange for tickets purchased by officers and guests. As a contract freighter for the Army, Leander is invited. Much to Leander’s chagrin, before his chance to claim his kiss, Kizzie’s uncle steps in and puts an end to the kissing game.

Is Leander out of luck, or will the bargain Kizzie and Leander made three years earlier to save their horses lead to a more romantic bargain sealed with a kiss?

Snippet #3

      “But, you’re Indian. You’re at least part Indian, aren’t you?”

          “My mother was Kaw. Some call us Kansa Indians.” The man smiled again and a teasing tone crept into his voice. “We’re one of the tame tribes. My name is Charlie Gray Cloud, miss. Mr. Jones and I have known each other a long time.”

          Leander Jones turned to give Charlie a puzzled look. The Kaw man just stared back, almost as if his eyes were warning Leander about something. Leander returned the look and spoke slowly. “Charlie is our scout for the trip, miss. I trust him with my life.”

          These two might trust each other, but Kizzie wasn’t sure she could trust either one of them. “I’m overjoyed you’re reunited and happy to see each other. Now, please let go of my horse. I need to go.”

          Kizzie tried to pull away, but Leander held the reins tight. “First tell us what you know about the Indians.”

The greatest inspiration is often born of desperation.

One year ago Hannah Quinn scored her dream job, and now the fate of the museum she loves will rise or fall on her next exhibit. But wait... there's a problem. She doesn't have a clue what her next exhibit will be!

When a trunk with two quilts is donated to the museum, Hannah's boss thinks she's wasting her time chasing down the history of the quilts, regardless of their beauty; but Hannah persists. She knows there's something special about these quilts, and a story that demands to be told.

Little does Hannah know, her friend Callum, a researcher and consultant, plays an unexpected a role in her investigation that leads to questions and discoveries that threaten the foundation of all she holds most dear.

Will her desperation to discover the story of the quilts cause her to lose the very thing she loves the most - or will the secrets she uncover lead her to more than she ever dreamed?

Snippet #2

“Time and experience teach us things that often books can’t, Hannah. For some, quilting was one way to record memories at a time when many women were not permitted to learn how to read or write. The quilts were often placed on the laps of the elderly, both to keep them warm and to allow them to travel through the memories the quilt contained. Too often now, we rely on technology to store our memories. But if we are no longer lucid enough to work a computer, how will we relive our memories?”
