Rose Colton fears for her life and flees New York City on a westbound train to hide from her dangerous husband. Once she arrives in Elkhorn, Montana, she soon discovers it’s no longer the bustling town she left behind. With her parents’ hotel business in peril, she’s more determined than ever to create a plan to bring the town and herself back to life. There’s only one problem. Rose hadn’t predicted falling for Daniel when she’s legally married to another.

Daniel Hudson came to Elkhorn to recover from his former bride-to-be leaving him at the altar. A year has gone by, and he’s steadfast in his vow to not let another woman into his heart. With the town in serious decline, he convinces his father to move his mercantile to California, where mining towns are desperate for supplies. All that’s left was to pack up and leave. But when Rose Colton comes to town, his well-laid plans quickly unraveled. He finds himself torn between leaving or staying to start a future with the woman he’s fallen in love with.

When Rose’s husband shows up in town, Daniel feels betrayed. He closes his heart, determined to ignore her pleas about why she hadn’t told him the truth about her life back in New York. Rose has no choice but to leave with Grant, as it’s the only way to protect her loved ones. Will Daniel open his heart in time to find out the truth? Or will Rose leave behind everything she worked hard for, including the man who taught her she deserved to be loved?

Our new little puppy, Tilly, gets cold quickly. She doesn't like to be cold or wet when she goes outside potty. Dale crocheted her this little sweater. It turned out beautiful. This was the first one Dale ever made. What do you think of it?

There is something special about getting up early. Everyone is sleeping and the house is quiet aside from the coffee brewing. On my weekends, I like to stay in my pjs for a bit and write. Do you love that first special sip of coffee in the morning?

Imagine a world where the rugged charm of the Wild West meets the heartfelt warmth of Hallmark.
The books in the “Caldwells of Rocky Creek” series are sweet, lighthearted and sometimes may tug at your heartstrings.

I held a hummingbird! I was busy polishing/editing A Rose for the Beast for release and something exciting happened over Labor Day. On my break, my son had just finished cutting the lawn when he popped his head out of the garage to tell me that a hummingbird was stuck in the garage.
Of course I ran to the garage and sure enough, fluttering around the back garage window was a little sweet hummingbird. I felt sorry for the little thing. At first, I tried to see if it would flutter out the side door I had Matthew open, but it panicked and dropped to the windowsill. When I started to reach for it, the hummingbird opened its long beak wide and let out a cry of despair. It broke my heart. I gently picked it up and softly spoke to it, but I'm sure none of it reassured the traumatized creature.
Matthew followed me outside and began to video as I released it. We hoped it would be able to fly. It flew so quickly from my hand we hardly captured it on video. I was elated that we had helped it back to freedom. It was an amazing experience.
