Meg Maxwell is a former pseudonym for author Melissa Senate, whose women's fiction titles, such as See Jane Date and The Love Goddess' Cooking School, have been published in over twenty-five countries.

Book 3: The Cowboy's Big Family Tree. Book 4: The Cook's Secret Ingredient. Book 5: Charm School For Cowboys. Book 6 (Oct '17): Santa's Seven-Day Baby Tutorial.
