COWGIRLS DON’T CRY – releases in print today! And a contest!
September 6, 2011
The 10th book in my Rough Riders Series, COWGIRLS DON’T CRY releases in print today! Check out the cover, because it’s a little different than the ebook version 🙂
Here’s the blurb:
Good girls can play rough too…
Jessie McKay has accepted her marriage to Luke McKay wasn’t perfect. After two years of widowhood, she’s ready to kick up her bootheels—until Luke’s younger brother shows up to spoil her fun. But if Brandt thinks she’ll ever take orders from another McKay male, he’s got manure for brains.
Brandt McKay has avoided his sweet, sexy sister-in-law ever since the night he confessed his feelings for her weren’t the brotherly type. Unexpectedly faced with proof of Luke’s infidelity, Brandt is forced to ask for Jessie’s help in taking care of Luke’s young son. Jessie agrees on one condition—she wants Brandt’s boots exclusively under her bed for the duration.
The sexual heat that’s always simmered between them ignites. Brandt is determined to make the temporary situation permanent, proving to Jessie he’s a one-woman man. And Jessie is shaken by feelings she’s sworn never to have again for any man…especially not a McKay.
Warning: Contains branding-iron-hot sex , the one McKay on earth who wants to be tamed, and a woman who’s decided tame is for nice girls who finish last.
CONTEST INFO – leave a comment and you’ll be entered to win a signed copy! If I get more than 100 comments, I’ll give away 2 copies — winners will be announced on Saturday!

I am 30 yes old and I haven’t really picked ups book to read since
High school. I have had a hard time finding what I wanted out of a book,
That was until May when I bought one of you books Saddled and spurred.
That turned in to me running out and buying Corraled and then I got into the
Ruff riders series. I have 3 kids and one on the way, but I make time for these books.
Your an amazing writer and I would love a free copy of your book.
Cowgirls don’t cry.
Thanks for the wonderful stories you give us.

P.s if we have a son we are naming him Colt!!!

We live in a small town… Its sooo funny that us ladies who carpool, sit through kids football games and cheer practice, wait while softball is going and so on… All we do is talk about what we think will happen next with your books as if we are gossiping about people we know, LOL! A signed book would be awesome.
Liza said:
My introduction to this series was in a free ebook, Slow Ride. I was HOOKED. I had to read everyone. I have actually read each one twice and the first, three times. They are addictive. The sex is hot, opened my eyes and I’m in my 40s. But it is the characters that fascinate me and the subjects you have tackled. They are all extremely deep subjects and you nailed the feeling of each character. I felt if these characters were real people, in pain and love. I would love love love a signed copy! I just don’t know what I will do when the series has ended. Liza
Sabrina said:

sarah chamberlain said:
I love your books. Can’t wait for more to come out.
Kate said:
This was one of my favorite stories in the series! I think what I love the most about your books is the ability you have to keep it realistic. I like that there are tough issues and things that can’t always be resolved ( ie Casper). That is real. Also, I think you have the best dedications out of all the authors I read to. Keep those books rolling out!
Mariann M said:
