Coming this summer, June 27th: SEVEN BIRTHDAY WISHES, part of my Dawson Family Ranch miniseries for Harlequin Special Edition. An injured bull rider returns to his hated hometown and discovers he has a seven-year-old son, challenging everything he thought he knew and wanted. To make up for missing the past seven years of his son's life, he grants the little guy seven birthday wishes. But can he make them ALL come true, including the one about his single mom? Look for three more of my novels in 2023...

Recently published: THE COWBOY'S MISTAKEN IDENTITY, part of my Dawsons Family Ranch series. What happens when an "executive cowboy" travels to a small Wyoming town to seek information about the father he never met and discovers he has an identical twin brother he never knew existed? An "evil" twin who fled town with people's trust and money--and left behind a baby son and struggling single mother . . .

My books are full of emotion, romance and heart, and set in Wyoming ranch country with a strong sense of community and a focus on finding family in all forms. Of course, there's usually a dog too. 2023 brings four new Dawson novels and a Montana Mavericks: January: THE COWBOY'S MISTAKEN IDENTITY. June: SEVEN BIRTHDAY WISHES. July: A MAVERICK REBORN (Montana Mavericks series). September: SNOWBOUND WITH A BABY. October: TRIPLETS UNDER THE TREE.

Did you know I also wrote seven novels for Harlequin Special Edition under the name Meg Maxwell in 2016 and 2017? My very first novel, See Jane Date, was published back in 2001 and was made into a very cute TV movie available on Amazon Prime and is sometimes still shown on the Hallmark Channel.
