Running from heartbreak, Bella Jacobi comes to Valley Stables to live with her brother, Tom. As she makes friends and settles into her new job as midwife at Valley Ob-Gyn, the last thing she expects is to fall head over heels for Whip Kittredge, a wrangler whom locals call Wild Bill Hickok with his shoulder length hair, wild eyes, and a troubled past. Her brother does not approve.
Drawn like a moth to a flame, Whip cannot resist his boss’s beautiful sister. He knows that Tom’s threats are just bluff, but to draw close, fall in love, and give his heart and soul to another person is risky business for him. Suddenly the terrible losses of his youth come crashing back, rocking his world and Bella’s. Hold on to your Stetson as you join Whip, Bella and the Valley community for Bella’s Touch, Morgan’s Run number thirteen!

Hello, friends and generous readers!
Welcome to my Goodreads page! I write romances, mysteries, suspense, and women’s fiction. Grab one of my books and see what you think. Are you a fan of humorous, first-person mysteries? Readers have lots of fun with Ricky Steele (Prepped to Kill, Gadfly, Jigsaw, Lost in Spindle City, and Poof!). How about small-town cozy mysteries? Join Roger and Bess (A Friend of Silence, In the Name of Silence, and The Silence of Memory) in the village of Old Harbor where murders occur almost as much as in Cabot Cove. (Roger and Bess Mysteries).
Did someone say romance? Aside from stand-alone romances like Widow’s Island and Hestor’s Way, I write two popular romance series -- Morgan’s Run (twelve books and counting) and Morgan’s Fire (seven titles with more on the way!). Morgan’s Run books are set in the beautiful U.S. southwest and are peopled with gorgeous cowboys and strong, contemporary women. The spin-off series, Morgan’s Fire moved some of the gang east to the New England coastal village of Horseshoe Crab Cove where the romance sizzles and amazing couples find their way to happily ever after.
I also have a YA title, Song of the Spirit, an award-winning historical romance that explores the kidnapping, torture, and enculturation of indigenous children in so-called “Indian schools.” That book features one of my favorite characters, Wind Flower, a strong resilient teenager who protects her younger sister and holds onto her values and culture, despite the daily cruelties of life at Rose Academy.
I am now retired from teaching, but my scholarly work continues. I am currently writing about my recent research-- the impact of mindfulness on readers and writers. I live on a beautiful river and when not writing, I love to spend time with family and friends, practice yoga, swim, walk, canoe, and teach mindfulness to people of all ages. Life is full!
