I’m giving away copies of my Annie Rayburn book, Phantoms & Fantasies, which begins on Halloween, so look for my post in the party room on Oct. 28th.
It will be a Spooky Good Time!
Y’all it’s less than a week before Brazen is released (10/17). If you find the description of this book interesting, please pre-order and consider posting a short, honest review. I appreciate you!
BLURB:
Because of a secret not hers to tell, spinster Rachel must marry quickly, and Angus is the first man who comes to mind. He’s a hard worker and strong. She’s seen him eyeing her and senses hunger in his gaze. Rachel goes to Angus, the local blacksmith, alone at night and asks him to marry her.
Although eager to accept her brazen offer, Angus is suspicious, thinking it’s some kind of prank and she’s been put up to this to embarrass him. After all, what would a lady like Rachel want with the likes of him? His work is hot and dirty, and his lineage doesn’t exactly have the pedigree ladies look for.
When he realizes she’s sincere, his heart won’t let him refuse her, but even the road to a quick, convenient marriage isn’t smooth. Angus keeps his feelings for Rachel hidden. After the ceremony, Rachel finds a distance she can’t bridge…until tragedy strikes.
Will they ever find the courage to declare their love, or will their stubborn need to protect their hearts prevail?
This book is first of my historical books and is a standalone.
Talk to me, guys! I’d love to know what you think about this book, my first historical.
Last year I enjoyed a 15-day RV trip to South Dakota. Late October there can be a bit of a crap shoot with the weather, but hubby and I lucked out. One day of winds so severe that the RV felt like it would be knocked over any minute. And chilly! Oh, my. I broke out my winter coat for the occasion.
Mind you, I live in south Texas, so even owning a heavy coat is optional and mostly for trips further north. We don’t have much of a fall and sometimes I miss that.
We camped in Fort Pierre high on a hill where you could see across the river to Pierre. All around us the trees were turning and after the cold snap and winds, even more, so we got to experience the beauty that popped in Pierre along the river. I took a gazillion beautiful shots just before my phone crapped out, and I lost all of them.
The cover of Second Chances (Sweetwater Springs, Bk 4) reminds me of those pictures with the fall beauty it depicts. The book takes place in November and encompasses Thanksgiving with an… er… interesting group of people at the Mayor’s home for the holiday.
If you haven’t read it yet, please check it out. I think you’ll enjoy reading about Jake, the mayor of Sweetwater Springs, and Dixie Jo, the real estate agent who captures his attention. I enjoy writing strong heroines, and Dixie is a pistol!
I’ll be returning to So Dakota in mid-October and hope to bring back pictures to share with you this time.
Do you have a pretty fall where you live? Have any pics to share?
