I’m so excited to share my new 10-book box set: MEET ME IN THE BLACK HILLS. I think it provides a great escape if you’re in the mood for romance, intrigue, suspense, and a decades old mystery–all with a touch of Hollywood flair.

Change hits the sleepy, Black Hills town of Sentinel Pass like a tsunami from a blockbuster movie when Hollywood heartthrob Cooper Lindstrom falls for the Pass’s favorite daughter, postmaster Libby McGannon. It’s only a matter of time until other locals, including the members of Libby’s Wine, Women and Words book club, get written into the script. What Hollywood fairytale would be complete without a “princess” who falls for a “beastly” single dad? A knight in slightly tarnished armor fights for a fair beauty’s honor, while Santa’s helper lures a hunky recluse from his mountain lair. Outsider twins tempt a third-generation rancher and get a second chance with a Southern warrior searching for his stolen child. Of course, no visit to the Hills is complete without a stop at The Mystery Spot, where a lost soul is found and a love match made.
This contemporary western romance collection includes all ten Black Hills Rendezvous titles set in the Black Hills, Malibu, LA, and Louisiana. In this small town, secrets, mystery, murder, and revenge are more than plot points in a script when love is at stake.

Here’s a fun book trailer you might enjoy. Your feedback is so appreciated.
I have some great memories of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in years past, but none very recent. So, I thought I’d share a snippet that takes place at next hero Sam O’Neal’s annual fundraiser at the Rocking M ranch. (This appears as an epilogue in HER COWBOY VALENTINE and will also serve as the prologue in HER TWINS’ REAL FATHER (to make it a true stand-alone book, as well as a continuity series.)
HER TWINS’ REAL FATHER
(coming early summer 2021)
St. Patrick’s Day
Rocking M Ranch
Whiskey Ridge, California
Sam O’Neal tapped the toe of his cowboy boot to
the beat of the Irish band Josh somehow procured at the last minute. Sam’s
regular D.J. wasn’t too happy to be sitting out this annual event, but by the
looks of the happy faces all around him, live music was the one thing that had
been missing from his St. Patrick’s Day barn dance.
“Great party,” someone shouted over the music.
Sam nodded his greeting to TJ Huey, who looked dapper in a crisply pressed
black shirt with a kelly-green western string tie.
Sam motioned for TJ and fiancé Paige Jackson to
follow as he stepped around one of the pyramids of hay bales that helped absorb
the sound and provided a place to sit when your feet got tired of dancing.
“Thanks. I don’t know where Josh found these
guys, but they’re really good.”
He shook TJ’s hand and smiled at the pretty
woman at his side. “Nice to see you again, Paige. Doc’s been singing your
praises. How are the wedding plans coming?”
The lovely blonde held up both thumbs. “We’re
all booked. It really helps having a local on the ground in Vegas.”
“Especially a local with a platinum credit
card,” TJ put in.
Paige’s laugh warmed Sam’s heart. He couldn’t
have been happier for his old friend, who’d been through lot of disappointments
and heartache over the years.
Haven’t we all?
Out of habit, Sam scanned the crowd for his
brother. Is he over-doing? Drinking too much? Alcohol was sugar, and
sugar fed cancer cells. Josh’s doctors may claim his last scan proved he was
cancer free, but Sam heard that before where his late stepdad was concerned.
His tension eased when he spotted Josh and
Jenny talking beside the smorgasbord of classic Irish dishes—or the
Americanized version of them. Jenny didn’t appear happy. No surprise. She and
Sam had one thing common–they both worried more about Josh’s health than Josh
did.
“So, have you two been dancing?”
Paige blushed. “I never really learned. Always
had my nose in a book, I guess. But the music makes me want to learn.”
Sam made an ushering motion toward the dance
floor. “Aw, just dance. Nobody will judge. I promise. We’re all just here to
have fun and let off a little steam after a long winter.”
TJ and Paige exchanged a look that said things
mere words couldn’t.
Envy—not something Sam often felt—pricked the
thick shield around his heart. Of course, it was hard not to be a bit wistful
around Josh and Jenny. Even though he couldn’t be happier that his brother
found his soul mate–Josh’s words, not Sam’s–Sam knew it unlikely that
he’d wind up with that kind of relationship.
He’d heard it said a person can’t miss what
he’s never known, but Sam didn’t think that was true.
He’d have given anything to share the kind of
love he knew existed between TJ and Paige and Josh and Jenny. But some things
just weren’t meant to be.
“I should play host and check on the food. You
guys have fun. I’ll see you in Vegas, if not before.”
He watched them melt into the crowd before
turning to thread his way through the revelers. The closer he got the to buffet
table the clearer it became the lovebirds were arguing about something.
“I’m gonna ask him.”
“Don’t you dare. We have still options.”
“This is the best one.”
“It’s not right.”
“But it’s not wrong, either.”
“Hey, you two, what’s up? Why aren’t you
dancing to the great band you found, little brother?”
Josh—the kid Sam always thought had the looks
of a movie star—dropped his chin and gave his wife a look that clearly warned
he was about to say something she wasn’t going to like. “Hello, Sam, we were
just arguing about you.”
Daisy, my middle granddaughter, was born on the 13th–which makes it a special number/day in our lives. The next time her birthday falls on Friday the 13th will be in 2025. She will be turning 18. (Can you tell I love calendars and dates?)
So, even though I no complaint with the number 13, I do think it’s a great excuse to hunker down with a book–or ten. 😉
I included my BLACK HILLS RENDEZVOUS boxed sets in this meme because they were the first I placed on the “shelves” of my online Bookstore. At $8/book, that’s a pretty good deal for three complete novels, plus, with the 25% coupon, the price drops to $6. Sweet, huh?
This week I added my two naughty comedies–the wildly irreverent JUDY UNCENSORED, which features a 54-year-old, self-proclaimed “trailer trash” heroine who is searching for love in all the wrong places and her spin-off holiday novella JUDY DOES CHRISTMAS. Just when you think you’ve found your happily-ever-after…along comes the holidays.
