Life gets in the way…

NEVER A BRIDE SWFor anyone who has read Book One and Two of my Escape to Alaska Trilogy, you’ve been patiently waiting for Book Three which I originally planned to release last December. Of course, life gets in the way of our best-laid plans. A December release didn’t happen.

Being an Indie author means no editor or publisher was breathing down my neck, making threats, etc.  It does, however, result in confused and/or disappointed readers. And for that I sincerely apologize.

Currently, Book One  in the series, Not What It Seems, is FREE until July 5th, and finally, Book Three, Never A Bride, will be available on Amazon on July 6th.

Happy Reading! And again, I apologize for the delay.

CoverFinalMD-CookingForCowboyHey, Everyone! 

COOKING FOR COWBOY  available on Amazon

 http://amzn.to/14y7hMB

 Chad’s a professional chuckwagon driver.

Sierra’s an executive chef.

Things are heating up,and not in the kitchen…

Chad Parker is balancing the operation of the cattle and horse ranch he inherited from his late father with racing on the WPCA pro chuckwagon circuit, including the upcoming Rangeland Derby at the Calgary Stampede. If that weren’t enough headaches for one guy, once again another cook has quit due to Chad’s mother’s insufferable criticism. But Sierra Griffin, an unemployed executive chef, enters his life at just the right moment. Sierra is the answer to his prayers, but can Chad keep the peace between his new cook and his mother, whom he banished from her own kitchen?

Sierra Griffin willingly accepts the handsome cowboy’s job offer while she pursues a position more suited to her qualifications with Chad’s blessing. But Sierra soon discovers she loves cooking for cowboys, especially the guy who sits at the head of the table. Things start heating up between Sierra and Chad, and not in the kitchen.

Just when Chad believes he has the situation under control, he learns that Sierra has found her dream job. Now what will he do? Hiring another cook is the least of his worries. Does the woman he’s falling in love with intend to move out of his life as quickly as she slipped into it?

NOTE:  Chad’s mother has recently been confined to a wheelchair due to ever-advancing stages of MS.  I’ve dedicated this book to a good friend who has battled MS for decades.  Love ya, Judy!

DEDICATION

  This book is dedicated to Judy Knapp, a good friend and TOPS pal who has faced her MS diagnosis fearlessly and has fought back for decades. Her bravery and tenacity are an inspiration to everyone who knows her.
