I’m so excited to share this fabulous NEW RELEASE with Tule Publishing!!!
WITH LOVE MONTANA: Big Sky Mavericks and Friends
Escape to the romance and adventure of Montana in nine connected novels set in small-town Marietta. Fans of second-chances, love, family, community, friendship, new beginnings, overcoming adversity, and finding oneself will be tempted to binge-read this connected series.
BOOK 1: MONTANA COWGIRL – Bailey Jenkins is back in town.
Fifteen years ago, I loved her with every ounce of my being…and hated her just as passionately for what she did. But this beautiful, broken stranger isn’t the same cocky rodeo queen who left Marietta with such big dreams. I might be the only friend she has in this small town with a long memory. A friend. Nothing more. And absolutely no benefits. Still, there’s no denying the connection between us. A single touch of her hand proved that.
BOOK 2: MONTANA COWBOY – All hat, no cowboy? Bite me.
I know what my hometown thinks—Austen Zabrinski deserved getting knocked down a notch or two after that scandal in Helena. But I’m a Big Sky Maverick and I’ll fly high again after the political dust settles. And how better to kill time than make friends with my new neighbor? The gal they’re calling Marietta’s “Red Hot Llama Mama.” Nothing serious, of course. Just a little here-today-gone-to-Helena-tomorrow fun.
BOOK 3: MONTANA DARLING – Love at first sight is a myth. Right? Like BigFoot, only prettier…
People look at me and see a vagrant living in a tent beside the Marietta River. Just ask Mia Zabrinski, who blew into my camp with fire in her eyes and legal threats tumbling past her gorgeous, perfect lips. For the first time in months…well, since my beautiful Colette and our baby died, I can feel my creative juices starting to flow—along with an unexpected jolt of lust. Unfortunately, prickly attorney Mia seems more interested in making war than love—range war.
BOOK 4: MONTANA MAVERICK – If Santa was a woman…and wore snowshoes…
I’ll admit flying a helicopter in a blizzard wasn’t a great idea. But watching my grand-baby burn up with a fever while gasping for air wasn’t an option. I figured it was all over when we went down, but then an angel in snowshoes came to our rescue. Meg Z of all people. The woman the Press labeled my “archenemy.” Like hell. She saved us, and I’m going to return the favor by giving her something she doesn’t even know she needs: a family. My family. And me.
BOOK 5: MONTANA GIFT – The untold—till now—story of OC Jenkins
So, my wife of forty years tells me she’s going to write our life story—even the bad sh…stuff. And lord knows there was plenty of that. Booze. Fights. Grief. Remorse. Why anyone would want to read about this is beyond me, but everyone in Marietta knows I can’t say no to Louise. After all, she saved me too many times to remember…but, now, you can read all about it just in time for Christmas. Tell your friends: Town Drunk Redeemed.
BOOK 6: MONTANA MIRACLE – A dog, a pastor, and an ex-con walk into a church…No, it’s not a joke.
The calendar is clicking down to December 25. The best possible travel day for a guy like me. No family gathered ‘round a tree opening gifts. No friends expecting me for a big ham dinner. No sticky strings attached…except for a stupid dog that doesn’t understand the command: “Go away.” And a beautiful but nosy pastor who claims I’m a “miracle in the making.” For a smart lady, Pastor Sam Zabrinski, sure picked the wrong ex-con to play Joseph in her living créche. Husband to Mary? Father to the infant Christ child? Pul…lease. I was a dad once. Briefly. And it didn’t end well. Only a freakin’ holiday miracle could reunite me with my daughter. And that’s about as likely to happen as Pastor Sam falling for a sinner like me.
BOOK 7: HER HERO TO LOVE – Once burned. Twice wary.
Let’s be clear. I’m nobody’s hero. I tried that once. I failed. And I’ve got the recurring nightmares to prove it. So, when my little brother mentioned a Search and Rescue job opening in Marietta, Montana, I jumped in with both feet—just like they teach you in SmokeJumper School. Too bad nobody mentioned Kat Robinson, my scorching hot co-worker—a single mom with an autistic son. Whatever this crazy attraction is between us, I’m keeping a safe distance—for everyone’s sake.
BOOK 8: HER ROGUE TO TAME – Roommates with benefits. Who could possibly get hurt?
“Get your Zip On” – That’s the slogan for the new zip line I’m building near Marietta, Montana. Correction: was building. My dream is on hold until I’m back on my feet. I can’t work on the mountain, but I sure as heck can hobble well enough to accept gorgeous, New York City outcast Amanda Heller’s offer: supervise the restoration of her grandmother’s old Victorian while sharing the property’s guest house. I’m an ex-Chippendales dancer, so I know sizzle when I feel it, and I predict a quick fling in my future—a month or two tops. Which everyone knows isn’t long enough for a rogue like me to fall in love.
BOOK 9: HER REBEL TO KISS – Don’t look down and don’t give up.
That’s not a bumper sticker saying, it’s my credo for living. My SmokeJumper brothers, Flynn and Tucker, claim my off-season climbing career is too risky. I argued otherwise until…well, I walked away. Now, there’s no going back. Luckily, I’ve landed a great job in the same town where my best friends have fallen in love with the women of their dreams. Settling down always seemed more daunting than Everest until I kissed a mysterious lady in red on New Year’s Eve at the Big Sky Mavericks’ Masked Ball. I know it sounds crazy, but what are two star-crossed lovers supposed to do when one kiss isn’t enough?

Book 3: BLACK HILLS BAD BOY — Single mom Kat hustles drinks and gives henna tattoos to pay for college. She has two kids and two exes, who are always late with child support. Bad-Boy-On-A-Hog Jack couldn’t be a worse choice for an unplanned one-night stand, but Jack falls hard for his wildly sweet “dream” girl. Too bad, in the harsh light of day, he’s more dentist-from-Denver than old-west-gunslinger. He’s also allergic…to kids.
Book 4: BLACK HILLS BACHELOR — What audience doesn’t root for the fairy tale when glamorous Hollywood A-lister Morgana falls in love with rough-around-the-edges miner/widower Mac, his darling daughter Meghan, and even their new dog? Too bad the screenwriters didn’t check their backstories because nobody saw a certain plot twist coming.
Book 5: BLACK HILLS NATIVE SON — When reservation cop Eli hits rock bottom, the last person he expects to rescue him is Char Jones, a shadowy figure from his past—now, with pink hair and a mind-blowing revelation of her own. Char’s carried her secret alone for seventeen years…until Eli stumbles into her store intent on robbing her.
Book 6: BLACK HILLS SECRET SANTA — Rufus Miller is a Black Hills enigma. Part mystery man, part Yeti…until marketing guru Rachel Grey shows up with plans to make Rufus’s art the next big thing—just in time for Christmas. Santa’s most unlikely helper lures a hunky recluse from his mountain lair and both receive a gift beyond words.
Book 7: BLACK HILLS WHITE KNIGHT — A-list agent/pilot William Hughes leaves high drama to his clients. Except in cases of spousal abuse. Daria and her daughters need a safe place to stay while her politician ex cools off. Neither expect to feel a connection, but when it hits, Daria’s fight becomes personal to William.
Book 8: BLACK HILLS RANCHER — Third-generation Black Hills rancher Cade Garrity is a single dad with an impressionable pre-teen daughter who’s recently expressed an interest in bull riding. When TV stuntwoman Jessie Bouchard drops out of the sky into his arms, his head tells him to run while he can. His gut says he’d be a fool to ever let her go.
Book 9: BLACK HILLS STRANGER — Remy follows her sister home to Louisiana to clear up their mom’s estate, then she’s moving back to a fresh start with all the friends she’s made in the Hills…until Jonas, the man who broke her heart, asks for a favor: “Save my daughter.”
Book 10: BLACK HILLS LEGACY — No visit to the Hills is complete without a stop at The Mystery Spot, where new owner Robyn doesn’t have time to fall for Liam Temple, a handsome actor whose father is ready to go to war over Robyn’s land. Why? It’s a mystery.
Binge read this contemporary western romance collection where secrets, murder, and revenge are more than plot points in a script.

GOING ALL IN ON LOVE – In Las Vegas: When your heart’s on the line, there’s no such thing as a safe bet.
Las Vegas. Oasis on the desert? Or the devil’s playground?
If you’re a Detroit detective with no love for his birth town or the family that gave him away, a frustrated lawyer with aspirations and a sports car both pointed west, an escapee from Witness Protection hiding in plain sight, or an arson investigator with a boatload of regret and a kid who doesn’t speak, falling for Grace, Kate, Liz, or Alexa Parlier should be avoided at all cost. Yes, they’re beautiful, single, smart, and successful. But their close-knit family’s legacy includes a secret that comes with a dangerous price tag.
Book 1: PRINCE CHARMING UNDERCOVER – Nick—undercover cop on the trail of a human trafficker. Definitely not “King” Parlier’s youngest daughter’s love match—until the “princess” takes a bullet meant for him. Then, all bets are off. But try telling that to Grace, who not only believes in happy endings, she’s prepared to risk her trust fund on him.
Book 2: THE DADDY GAMBLE – Rob—hotshot lawyer banished to Vegas after a bad break-up. His single-minded goal: claw his way back into his boss’s good graces to get out of this hellhole. He doesn’t date clients or single moms. But, against all odds, chef—and ex-client—Kate Parlier-Grant gets under his skin, despite the fact her five-year-old hates Rob—and his shoes.
Book 3: RISKY BABY BUSINESS – David—simple gardener…or billionaire on the run from a dangerous lunatic and Witness Protection? He’s quiet and careful, hiding in plain sight, until Liz Parlier runs over his hedgehog cactus. Sometimes, a man’s got to draw a line in the sand…even if his action puts them both on a madman’s radar.
Book 4: CHRISTMAS FOR THE WIN – Mark—arson investigator, widower and single dad. So desperate he’s about to ask the woman he left at the altar for help. But his son is in crisis, and Alexa Parlier has the biggest heart of anyone he’s ever known. She may still hate him, but he’s betting her Christmas spirit will open her arms to Braden…and, with any luck, help her to forgive Mark.
Four wild-card heroes on a collision course with four sisters, each told since childhood she’d marry her Prince Charming. Have they been tossed together by chance…or destiny? The answer comes from the heart, not a crystal ball.

Ask anybody and they’ll tell you, it’s never the mistletoe that brings people together—it’s what’s in your heart.
Book 1: THE RANCHER’S AND THE WIDOW’S FIRST CHRISTMAS: “The Rancher’s and the Widow’s First Christmas is a sweet, emotion packed, heartwarming, inspirational, small-town romance.

Book 2: CALEB’S CHRISTMAS WISH: “This is a story of loss, grieving, and life changing events. 4 year old Caleb’s parents are killed in an accident and his Godparents who have never met have been called in to take responsibility for him and help him through a difficult time. Add an ill Grandmother who recently lost her husband and now her child and is now worried that she will lose the only link (Caleb) to both. Very well written, emotional and thought provoking. Totally enjoyed this book.”
Book 3: BLACK HILLS SECRET SANTA: “This was a witty and touching story. Rufus has a great sense of humor for a reclusive yeti-man. Rachel was wonderful in how she struggled with discovering her true self – out from under her controlling mother and cheating ex. All of the secondary characters added to the story and made me wish that Sentinel Pass was a real town I could visit – or move to.”
Book 4: CHRISTMAS FOR THE WIN: “Brilliantly written and loaded with large family connections, A… tear-worthy, feel-good story with compelling characters! The suspense is palpable and romance is sweet. A little psychic magic really adds to the mix!”
Book 5: HER CHRISTMAS ANGEL – “This quick read packs the magic that is Christmas. Love, Kindness, Faith, and Generosity are showcased. How a simple gift touches another person and made such a big impact on both parties.”
Book 6: JUDY DOES CHRISTMAS – “Debra knocked it out of the park with Judy Banger and how she feels about Christmas. Women of any age can appreciate and relate to Judy, especially those of us who are over 50, overweight, and a bit insecure. This book will keep you laughing, crying, and laughing again to the very end. I love Judy Banger and what she’s taught me. She is courage in a slightly overweight form. You will want to read this one a couple of times.’
As a gift, enjoy Debra’s touching short story: A HUNDRED YEARS OR MORE. Keep a hanky handy.

LOVE ME FOR CHRISTMAS: A Holiday Box Set
’Tis that time of year again for mistletoe wishes and candy cane kisses.
Can one festive holiday reunite estranged lovers, ignite unexpected relationships, heal old hurts, and bring joy to aching hearts? Probably not. But love can. And in the hands of these nine award-winning/bestselling authors, the reason for the season might just be: Romance.
BOOK 1: Risking It All by Kathryn Shay
This woman is driving me crazy. She had it out for me when I was a recruit and focused on all my flaws; I couldn’t help but return the favor by needling her every chance I got.

BOOK 2: Unexpected Gift by Chantel Rhondeau
Cali Johnson makes my heart race in ways I never thought it could, and I find myself hoping for a very Merry Christmas this year. Not only is she kind to everyone she sees, she even befriended my cantankerous old cat—and he doesn’t like anyone.

BOOK 3: The Marine’s Last Chance Christmas by Rogenna Brewer
Home for the holidays sounded sweet until I looked across my recruiting desk into the eyes of the woman I’d loved and lost––mostly thanks to my own stupidity. Who knows? Maybe the Sugar Plum Fairy will grant me one last chance for Christmas.
BOOK 4: Texas Christmas Bride by Jean Brashear
For seventeen years after I was banished, I tried to forget her. The empire I built means nothing to the joy of being with her again.

BOOK 5: Christmas for the Win by Debra Salonen
Is it crazy to ask for help from the woman I left at the altar eight years ago? Absolutely. But I’ll do anything for my son, and the Alexa I knew and loved would never turn away a child in crisis—especially at Christmas. Though it’s wishful thinking to expect that Alexa could ever forgive me.
BOOK 6: Grown-Up Christmas Wish by Lisa Mondello
The gloves…well, mittens, are off. I’m in Montana on leave from the military to battle a real estate auctioneer about to sell my childhood memories to the highest bidder. I get that Sally Macomber needs the commission to start a life back east, but with a little snow, some small-town holiday spirit, and my grandfather’s sleigh, I can earn enough to be top bidder. Too bad as the December 24th deadline nears, my Christmas list now has just one name on it: Sally.
BOOK 7: A Family of His Own by Karen Sandler
I came from less than nothing, but I got lucky. Wrote a few books, became a mega-bestselling thriller author. Despite my success, I know what it’s like to hit rock bottom like Jana has, pregnant and abandoned by her low-life boyfriend. I know she needs me to be her sanctuary, especially this Christmas. But how do I hide the feelings I’ve always had for her?
BOOK 8: Mr. and Mrs. Claus by Day and Dre Leclaire
I’m a man intent on forging my own path through life, refusing to join my father’s firm no matter the temptations offered. But Dad plays dirty, especially when he sends an adorable, klutzy Christmas elf to tempt me back into the fold. One Santa-sized problem… I want her to stay, but she has to go.
BOOK 9: A Soldier’s Christmas by Barbara McMahon
I’m only in town for the wedding and to pick up my dog that Cassie has been taking care of while I was deployed. As soon as the “I do’s” are done, I’ll be outta here. So, would somebody please explain why Cassie’s invitation to spend the holiday with her has me longing for the impossible? Maybe I’ll find my answer under the mistletoe.
Snuggle up with your sure-to-be new holiday favorites: CHRISTMAS
