This is my sneaky and not-so-subtle way to let all of you beautiful people know that draft one of book two is complete—and it has a title.

A title from none other than fan favorite, Ben Andrews, who already has a bit of a big head for having the #1 review slot on my last book. So the fact that he came up with such a ridiculously good name for my next book is just going to send him to the next level. Feel free to give him kudos accordingly.

What's it about, you ask? Well, since we're in first-draft territory, I'll go ahead and share the first draft of the back cover excerpt.

"You’d think after nearly a dozen successful books under my belt, I’d know better than to write about a location site-unseen. My attempt to break into a new genre gets denied. A lot. Aggressively. Exaggerating? Sure, but it feels personal. The gauntlet has been thrown, and I can no longer avoid a trip to Cowboy Country. I will get this book published.

Heading to Colorado for three months of research is not on my bingo card for the year, but I somehow find myself in the home of Rodeo Royalty. Ideal for immersive learning, but a little less than ideal when I have a propensity to piss off the grumpiest cowboy in 100 miles. I know I’m imposing, he knows I’m imposing, but if I can just make it through the next three months without ticking him off further, that’d be great. And if we could make it through the summer without him drunkenly confessing his attraction to me, again, that’d be even better.

Serves him right for drinking my whisky. "

We're in our cowboy romance era, friends.
