I just got my cover for The Cowboy’s Christmas Bride, so I thought I’d share it with you! This book hits the shelves November 2016.

Christmas Bride

Hope, Montana is no longer home to Andy Granger, who sold his piece of the family land to developers. He’s only back to run a cattle drive in his brother’s stead. But the community can’t forgive him for selling out. And Dakota Mason, the beautiful cowgirl he hired, has every reason to hate him…

Ranching is in Dakota’s blood. And now the developers have cut off water her neighboring ranch desperately needs. She’s only on the ride for a paycheck–not to turn her back on her community. And definitely not to fall for some overly protective urban cowboy. But Andy may surprise everyone… including himself.

 Let me know what you think! 🙂

 

I have a secret passion

I just love aprons–I truly do not own enough of them! But they are the sort of thing that I don’t tend to buy for myself terribly often. I should, and in the future I probably will, but so far, I’ve been too practical. (Ironically! LOL!) I tend to own aprons that I can toss in the wash, because I use aprons for their original purpose–to attract the splatter. (I’m a bit of a messy cook.)

Anyway, while toodling around on Etsy, I came across these beauties. They are probably too cute to survive my kitchen for long, but I do love them… and thought I’d share a few of my favorites. (If you want to see where to buy them, just click the photo.)

1950’s housewife–this one might be the perfect blend between cute and functional.

“Mrs. Johns” would go nicely on this one. 😉

I own two aprons much like this one–pastel pink and pastel yellow. They have survived surprisingly well, but whatever shirt I wear with them, doesn’t. 😉

Unique and pretty. But how would you wash it??

I don’t know why, but this one makes me feel happy just looking at it. 😉 Maybe it’s because it looks like it’s been starched.

I Love Lucy inspired

This one is so pretty that my morbid imagination immediately goes to my splattering, simmering spaghetti sauce.

Would you use a pretty, frilly apron? Or is it not practical enough to survive your kitchen, either?
