In our family, both the good and the bad come in threes, so once the first crisis hit, we braced for two more. Through it all my best friend—my rock—my husband stood firm beside me offering me the chance I never thought I’d have: the opportunity to write full time, and thank God for that, because without that gift, Jesse would still be a work-in-progress.
While writing Jesse I gained a son-in-law, a wonderful man who loves our daughter, dances with her, and makes her laugh. Now we have three sons. We are truly blessed and looking forward to the birth of our first grandbaby… life is good.
There are so many people at Sourcebooks to thank, but first and foremost, thank you to my wonderful editor, Deb Werksman, for her vision, attention to detail, and amazing ability to push me to dig even deeper, helping me to become a better writer.
A special thank you to our publisher, Dominique Raccah. How amazing that she really does know who I am and what I write—she gives the best hugs!
Thank you to Cat, Susie, and Danielle for your hard work pulling everything together and making it work; you ladies totally rock!
Although I do mention him last, it doesn’t reflect the importance he has in my writing life. A very special thank-you to my fabulous agent, Eric Ruben, who has taken the helm and is steering my career in the right direction. While I’m sad to be leaving Pleasure, Texas, I cannot wait to start writing about the Mulcahy sisters and small-town America! Without Eric’s guidance, none of this would be possible.

From stable to boardroom…
Sarah Landon’s Ivy League scholarship transforms her from a wide-eyed country girl into a poised professional. Until she’s assigned to do damage control with the boss’s rebellious brother Lane, who’s the burr in everybody’s saddle.

Tall, Dark and Cowboy
by Joanne Kennedy
She’s looking for an old friend…
In the wake of a nasty divorce, Lacey Bradford heads for Wyoming where she’s sure her old friend will take her in. But her high school pal Chase Caldwell is no longer the gangly boy who would follow her anywhere. For one thing, he’s now incredibly buff and handsome, but that’s not all that’s changed…
What she finds is one hot cowboy…
Chase has been through tough times and is less than thrilled to see the girl who once broke his heart. But try as he might to resist her, while Lacey’s putting her life back together, he’s finding new ways to be part of it.
Praise for Cowboy Fever:
“HOT, HOT, HOT… with more twists and turns than a buckin’ bull at a world class rodeo, lots of sizzlin’ sex, and characters so real you’ll swear they live down the road!”
—Carolyn Brown, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Red’s Hot Cowboy
