Charlie McQuade couldn’t be prouder of his older sister, Harriett, for starting her own cattle herd and wanting her own ranch. Her future is bright and promising...except for the one thing she doesn't have. A husband. When Harriett learns the shocking secret her family has kept from her since she was a baby, she's thrown onto the brink of scandal. Worse, she must make the hardest decision of her life for a man she's never met. U.S. Marshal Cord Brennan must escort a prisoner to Kansas before he can settle down and care for his crippled father in Texas.

Lanie

2020

U.S. Marshal Ben Carleton is new to the job. He had no plans to hunt killers and thieves, but his life took an abrupt turn when his wife was murdered and he was left caring for his infant son. Alone. Ben knows nothing about caring for children, but he does know one thing...tracking a killer. And that's what he's determined to do when he arrives at the Monroe's Colorado ranch, the family that took him in when he was a boy. His intention is to leave his son in their capable hands until he does what needs to be done. Until he eliminates the evil man who killed his innocent wife. Lanie Monroe hasn't seen Ben since she was a child chasing frogs in the creek and seeing him again is a shock to her system. The teenage boy she idolized has grown into a hardened, and heartless man. Not much else has changed. Her parents are older, but she still chases frogs, and cattle, shoots snakes and runs the ranch like it's her own. Trouble is, a woman isn't allowed to inherit, and her father is determined to see her married. Ben's arrival is her father's answer to all of life's problems. He wants Lanie to take off her pants and spurs and settle down into domestic bliss with a Marshal who is still grieving his dead wife, hunting a killer, and has so much pain in his eyes she can barely stand to look at him. But fate has never been on Lanie's side. To save the ranch she loves, marriage is the only option. Even as she says, 'I do', she wonders if the gorgeous cowboy vowing to love her forever will do nothing but break her heart.

Unable to follow his dream of becoming a doctor, Baird wants to help—if only he can convince Vella to trust him to do what’s right for the children. The orphans, Dewey, Jess and Nedra, have plans of their own. They want parents who will take all three of them, and Baird and Vella are the couple they choose. They’ll do anything they can to help them fall in love.

#11

Madeline

2021

Madeline Denham realizes something doesn’t add up. More than with her siblings, her parents are very careful about whom they allow to socialize with her. As often as she is complimented on her appearance, there are those who study her as if they know something she doesn’t. She suspects her family is hiding something. Approaching her twenty-second birthday, she is painfully aware she has never been courted and never been kissed. After graduating from normal college, she returns home to Knights Ferry while she seeks a teaching position. Much to her dismay, during a community social, a well-dressed man she's never met before asks her to dance and then forces a kiss upon her. Rather than being flattered, she feels ruined. After inheriting his mother’s Angel’s Creek property in Calaveras County, James Hennessy finds growing fruit trees and a small table grape vineyard competes with his love of practicing law. He spends much of his time representing farmers in a cause important to his own interests—stopping the hydraulic mining that is clogging the Valley’s rivers and streams that provide the water the farmers need to irrigate their crops. At a dance, he plans to meet with a delightful woman he met previously on the train where he learned she is seeking a teaching position. When he realizes she is the object of unwanted attention, he steps forward to rescue her. Madeline hires James to uncover the secrets that plague her. However, will what they learn drive him away? Fortunately, she has two young twin brothers, who, like their oldest brother, want to become cowboys. For now, they’ll settle for corralling a good husband for their big sister, even if they have to rope and hogtie Madeline and James to get them to the altar.

Cynthia Woolf

Author · 80 books

Cynthia Woolf is the award-winning and best-selling author of sixty-four historical western romance books, four contemporary western books with more books on the way. She has also published six sci-fi, space opera romances, which she calls westerns in space. Along with these books she has also published eight boxed sets of her books. Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance Tame A Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia's father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a cowboy, not a bounty hunter, and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now), not the ranch owner. Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and her great critique partners for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.

Dear Reader, While expecting my first child (more years back than I care to count), I read my very first romance novel, and I've been in love with them ever since. I grew up in the ranch country of western Nebraska, and it was inevitable I’d eventually write lots of books about cowboys. I still live in Nebraska with my husband (who is not a cowboy), four married daughters and a whole slew of perfect grandchildren. I'm a long-time member of RWA and RAH, my local chapter. I'm also one of the founders of Petticoats & Pistols, a popular blogsite for western romance. I love to cook, hang out at my lake cabin, and decorate birthday cakes for anyone who will let me. www.pamcrooks.com www.swankykitchen.com www.facebook.com/pamcrooksauthor www.facebook.com/pamcrooks Twitter @pamcrooks
