Finally, after all this time, I have a historical western book to share.
I know, I know. It’s about time, Ruth. 😀 It was rough getting my brain in writing mode while slogging my way out of burnout. I can’t be 100% sure, but I suspect that all of the walking I did, especially at the zoo which provided inspiration for the scenery to go with my books, helped to get me over the slump. So lesson learned: take care of physical health and allow for relaxation time in order to keep things going. It always seems like you will lose precious word count if you step away from writing, but I’m learning that’s not so. (A lot of people in the writing community would have you believe if you’re not writing every single day, you’re not a real writer.)
Here is the book’s description:
Lucas Reid is desperate. He needs money, and he needs it fast. Wealthy heiress Gail Patterson isn’t the most attractive lady in Pennsylvania, but she is available. Putting on a pretense of loving her, Lucas proposes marriage, and she says yes.
Now it is his wedding day, and Lucas realizes that the hardest obstacle of his life has begun. He is going to have to make it seem like this marriage of convenience is one that will be full of passion–a passion he does not feel for his new wife. As he is struggling to decide how he is going to consummate the union, word comes from Arizona that his sister has been abducted by a group of bandits.
At first, he thinks this is the perfect excuse to delay things with his wife, but Gail is not the quiet and timid wallflower he thought he married. She is going to Arizona with him. And this is going to change everything about their marriage.
This is a historical, sexy western romantic comedy that features a virgin hero and heroine who’ve never traveled out West before. They will come across an inept deputy who wishes he was a hero, a group of bandits, and a scorpion that knows when to show up at just the right moment.
If this sounds like your kind of book, here is where you can find it:
I first read that as “Tagalog Bride” and thought, “I didn’t know Ruth speaks Tagalog.” Then I read it again and was like, “Oh, Tagalong! I just hope the bride’s not a Girl Scout cookie.” xD
LOL I typed in Tagalog the other day as a mistake and wondered why spell check didn’t correct me. I had no idea it was a cookie.
Girl Scout cookies!
Dear Ruth, Yeah! Just ordered it.🌹🤗🌈
You’ve always been so nice to me, Paula. Thank you so much!
