Dear Reader,

Welcome back to the Texas Cattleman’s Club and Royal, Texas! I’m happy to say that romance is in the autumn air and my Thanksgiving story starring Erin Sinclair and Daniel Hunt will bring a cornucopia of love and intrigue and mystery.

Erin Sinclair isn’t a risk taker. At least, she never has been, but a past scandal in her hometown of Seattle has her thinking outside the box lately. When she climbs up on a mechanical bull to prove to herself and the world she’s no wilting willow, the ride she takes knocks her on her butt. In comes a rugged cowboy to save the day, and Erin’s soon engaged in another kind of ride, one that leaves her just as breathless...with Daniel Hunt.

If you’re an animal lover, you’ll soon meet Daniel’s menagerie—the big hunky beast of a man brings home wounded strays to his ranch on a regular basis. One night, after a hit-and-run, he enlists Erin to help bring an injured animal to safety, and soon the half collie, half German shepherd named Lucky sneaks his way into Erin’s and Daniel’s hearts.

But there’s a cyber culprit on the loose and Erin and Daniel get swept up in the investigation. Finding and bringing to justice Maverick, the mysterious bully who has caused so much heartache and pain to the Texas Cattleman’s Club members, is a must.

Wishing you happy reading and a wonderful holiday season!
