This is the first book in a brand new series that takes place in Arizona. I felt it was time to explore a new territory, and taking trips through the Desert Dome at the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium piqued my interest in “spending” time in an Arizona desert. Why Arizona? I took a trip to Phoenix years ago to a writer’s conference where I spent time with some author friends. Thinking of that time brings good memories. Arizona has a sweet spot in my heart.
This series will feature all new characters. It’ll be fun to see what develops from this.
Here is the 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.
This is due out August 30, 2024!
