Home For the Fourth of July

1906_OR1_main

Megan Davis has always wanted to leave her small Colorado hometown for life in the city. So when she finds herself back in Eagle’s Rest, brokenhearted, she tells herself it’s a temporary setback.

Determined to enjoy the Fourth of July weekend, Megan accepts Liam Scott’s invitation to his family’s holiday celebration at Blue Fish Lake. It doesn’t matter that Liam’s parents have been waging a decades-long matchmaking campaign—Megan and Liam are just friends. Megan’s life is in Denver, and Liam is committed to his job protecting Eagle’s Rest as a police officer.

But spending time with Liam reminds Megan of all she’s been missing—laughter, friendship and the natural beauty of Eagle’s Rest. Will Megan keep ignoring the deep emotions sparking between her and Liam, or is she finally ready to embrace a future that’s more than she could ever have imagined?

I’m the mother of a sixth grader, and I’m determined to expose him to literature. I have a degree in English Lit, and I love the classics. I’ve read him countless classics from novels to poetry, and I’m not expecting him to remember it all or appreciate it the way I do, I just want him to know that it’s there.

So there are always a few classic poems stuck to our fridge, and from time to time, when my son asks for TV time, or whatnot, I’ll say, “First go read some poems on the fridge.” Then we’ll talk about which ones he likes, which ones he doesn’t, what he thinks about when he reads them…

We have a ratty little paper on our fridge right now–a Robert Frost poem that is probably familiar to you. I love this poem because of the way it makes me feel, and since it was rattling around in my head for several months, it made its way into my Christmas release, HER TRIPLETS’  MISTLETOE DAD.

Image-96

Poetry isn’t about understanding the rhyme or rhythm, or even the deeper meanings. It isn’t about important poets, or the cannon of English Literature. Poetry is about feeling, and being able to stop for a moment, like in a winter wood, and feel the cold and quiet. It’s a very basic human experience to be able to feel some words.

I hope my newest novel will make you feel, too! I hope it will make you stop and breathe and draw in a moment. I hope it will remind you that love is real and powerful and possible.

And then I hope that some of you will take a moment to let me know about it! Because I do love hearing from readers.

My Home to Eagle’s Rest miniseries with Harlequin Heartwarming has been a fun one to write! I do love this mountain town tucked away in the Colorado rockies. My newest release, THE LAWMAN’S BABY, is a part of this miniseries, and my very last Home to Eagle’s Rest story will come out this Christmas. But in the meantime, I wanted to give you a quick peek of Home to Eagle’s Rest stories all together in one place…

So without further ado, here they are:

To get close to her, Jack’s going undercover as her boyfriend. But when the evidence points to Liv’s innocence and a threat to her safety, he’ll do anything to protect her. Even risk his career…

The tiniest of newborns

When my son was born, he was two months premature, and only 4 lbs. He was tiny, and not at all ready to be on the outside. He stayed tiny for quite a long while. He was a month and a half old when he hit 5 lbs and was finally able to come home from the hospital. At 3 months old, he finally hit 8 lbs, and I remember thinking, “Wow, he’s as big as a regular newborn now…”

These are the newborn diapers from the hospital and his itty bitty ankle bracelet. Those diapers had to be folded over to fit him, and he still swam in them.

Image-72

 

Those weren’t easy weeks when he was first born. Babies that little struggle to stay alive. But once we got him home, we were able to relax a little bit–snuggle him and start out some regular life with our baby who needed to be fed every hour because his tummy was still so small. I didn’t get a lot of sleep, I can tell you that!

When I wrote THE LAWMAN’S BABY with premature, 5 lb Benjie, I had my own little boy in my heart the entire time. A baby that tiny needed a lot of love, and who better to provide it than a beefy cop? Yes, that seemed like the perfect combination to me!

The LAWMAN’S BABY is officially released July 2019! So it’s on the way… and here’s a little tip: if you preorder through Harlequin, they start shipping those books out June 1!

I love seeing how the covers are different between North America and the UK, and while this cover’s differences are subtle, I still like the different looks.

This first one is the North American cover:

9781335510747

 

And this one is the UK version:

44195856

I love them both, but you know… I think I like the UK version just a tiny bit more!

The Lawman’s Baby is a story about a work hardened cop who is forced to learn the soft skills with his newborn nephew… and about the burnt out social worker who helps him. The baby in this book just melts my heart! He’s 5 lbs of cute!

This cover is perfect. I love it! And I hope you’ll pick up a copy when this book comes out in July. More details to come closer to the release!

What do YOU think of this cover? Do you love it as much as I do?
