About the author

Dear Readers,

The love stories in my family have always been fodder for romance novels.

My maternal grandmother and grandfather simultaneously ran a business together and raised four daughters, long before it was an accepted thing to do.  Grandpa O’Dell ran the gas station and the barber shop; Grandma O’Dell managed the grocery and cooked for customers.  They were true partners and madly in love and parted, tragically, way too soon when he succumbed to cancer when he was in his early fifties.  Grandma grieved deeply but eventually picked herself up, started a new career as a cafeteria chef, and eventually found deep romantic love and happiness again, in the form of a second marriage.

VERY PREDICTABLE -


Teddy and Amy agreed to marry if there weren't married with kids by a certain age. Well, that age has arrived. They decide to marry and use artificial insemination to get pregnant. They elope and go to the JP. Then bring their families together to share their news. Naturally it's met with surprise and distaste.


After deciding to live one week at Amy's and then another at Teddy's - the close quarters brings out the sexual tension even though they've been best friends since they were teens......

They both feel the sex between them is HOT and soon fall in love though they don't admit it to the other..... they finally admit they are in love and then VOILA - she's pregnant by natural means in time for the holidays.......

A good Cowboy at Heart romance.

2 friends embark on a marriage of convenience in order to start a family together. Cute without being particularly deep. I sense a series in the background.
