Divorce a husband, disrupt a career ... grapple with a murder.

LARGE PRINT EDITION

TV journalist Elizabeth "E.M." Danniher will tell you she committed two sins - she didn't stay young, and she made an enemy of a powerful news executive - her ex. She used to break national news. Now her top story as the Helping Out reporter at dinky KWMT-TV in Sherman, Wyoming is getting a refund for a defective toaster.

Tough, funny and determined, Elizabeth wrestles with isolation, keeping a professional edge, and an evolving self-image. Is Wyoming - the land of cattle, cowboys and tumbleweeds - her new home or a road to permanent obscurity?

Soon she's in a battle of wills with ex-football player turned journalist Mike Paycik, who sees her as a handy rung on his career ladder. And there's the matter of a deputy sheriff-missing or murdered? Elizabeth finds herself investigating at the insistence of a girl who's set on proving her father's innocence. Not that enigmatic rancher Tom Burrell makes investigating easy.

But Elizabeth won't fade to black without a fight, no matter how final some might want to make her Sign Off.

Описание:

Time hasn't dimmed their bone-deep passion...

Ten years ago, Kalli Evans left her rodeo bull-rider husband, Walker Riley, unable to bear her terrible fear for him. Or the fear that she might love him too much.

But passion wasn't enough to overcome fear a decade ago...

Walker faces down charging bulls every day, but working with Kalli for a summer as they try to save the Wyoming rodeo that means so much to their beloved mutual mentor, just might break him.

Can the present carry them past the fears and broken trust ... to a future together again?

Rodeo Nights is a prequel to Where Love Lives. You met Zoe Parisi in Jack's Heart and her grandparents Ruth and Hugh Moski have appeared in each of the Wyoming Wildflowers stories. You can see Matt Halderman at the start of his rodeo cowboy career by reading the emotional second-chance-at-love story of Kalli and Walker in Rodeo Nights. Where Love Lives also is a part of a multi-author project called The Inheritance. Matt is not the only person to receive a surprising inheritance. The eccentric Harold Hopewell has left an unusual will that details bequests of all sorts, tailored to people he encountered from all walks of life.

Описание:

She never took risks...until Cahil.
This charmer can make or break her beachfront restaurant this season ... and Eleanor's heart.
Full-length standalone novel that also introduces you to Val, whose story is is in Jack's Heart.
"I fell in love with Cahill. He's handsome, smart, strong and had an Irish brogue to die for. Eleanor is a real woman, with real curves, a sense of humor and intelligence ... I was sad when I finished, because I wanted more." - 5-star review (Goodreads)

When his Irish eyes are smiling, she's in danger of losing her head ... and her heart.

Eleanor Thatcher refuses to be charmed by the Irish balladeer she hires to strum up business for her Gloucester, Mass., beach restaurant. She's far too practical for a workplace romance ... or to fall for a fantasy-spinner like Aidan Padraic Cahill McCrea. Yes, she feels his spell, but bitter reality has taught Eleanor that dreamers drift on, leaving heartache.

Cahill finds the woman he wants to share his future with in strong-minded, too-serious-for-her-own-good Eleanor. But he must convince her of his staying power. And his time to make her his bride is running out

"A pragmatic woman, a dreamer with his feet hidden on solid ground, a ruthless underhanded villain all in a seashore setting make for an engrossing story that kept me on the edge of my chair... I can't wait to read the next book " - 5-star review (Amazon)

Before Valerie Trimarco tried to heal a cowboy in JACK'S HEART, she pushed her cousin Eleanor into the arms of Cahill in A NEW WORLD.

A New World is the prequel to Jack's Heart, Book 5 of the Wyoming Wildflowers series. Valerie Trimarco has some major changes ahead of her, including a life-changing stay in Wyoming.

Then continue to follow the lives and loves of the good people of Knighton, Wyoming, in A Cowboy Wedding, a shindig at the Slash-C Ranch that also ropes in characters from other Patricia McLinn romance series.

"I loved the depth of the characters, the subtle humor and the touch of suspense. And Cahill is YUM " -- 5-star review (Barnes&Noble)

"... gave me that satisfied sigh I love at the end of a book" -- 5-star review (Amazon)

One of their own becomes a target...

A voice on the phone says Jennifer's best friend has tragically died in a fatal fall at a national park. Her certainty that it was no accident starts TV reporter Elizabeth Danniher, with friends Mike, Tom and Diana plus the rest of the Caught Dead in Wyoming crew, on an investigation that moves faster -- and closer to them -- than any of them could ever expect. They've barely had time to catch their breath since the events of Cold Open and now one of their own becomes a target as they race time and a murderer before this Hot Roll burns them all.

... In TV news, Hot Roll can simply mean cutting away from an interview to "b-roll" (scene-setting footage) ... or it can mean the adrenaline-pumping drama of broadcasting live because there's no time to do anything else. Mix in murder, a little humor, a trace of romance, and you're on your way with the Caught Dead in Wyoming sleuths for another great adventure.

Hot Roll is Book 8 of USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's Caught Dead in Wyoming cozy mystery series. If you like quirky characters, hints of romance, and twists you won't see coming, then you'll love this page-turner.

"Colorful characters, intriguing, intelligent mystery, plus the state of Wyoming leaping off every page." -- Emilie Richards, USA Today bestselling author

What readers are saying about the Caught Dead in Wyoming series:

"McLinn has created in E.M. a female protagonist who is flawed but likable, never silly or cartoonish, and definitely not made of cardboard."

"I love the whole series Caught Dead in Wyoming. The writing is witty and sharp; the story is gripping; and the characters are so realistic. Even the supporting characters are fully defined and interesting. What I didn't expect was a renewed appreciation given by this "inside" view of the world of journalism. With all the current focus on Fake News, I loved being reminded of how vital news people are to our society. E.M. Danniher changes her community and certain individuals - for the better - due to her dogged pursuit of truth and justice."

"I confess to being addicted to this series and characters. I LIKE them. I wish they were real."

"E.M.'s internal monologues are sharp, snappy and often hilarious."

"A terrific series with a western flair. . . . Great characters that you would want as your friends. Smart, funny, but not perfect."

"Hoping this series lasts forever "

Описание:

She's a prosecutor chasing demons. He's wrestling them. Will they find proof of innocence? Or will the demons win?

Four and a half years ago, Maggie Frye served as special prosecutor in a remote mountain county in Commonwealth of Virginia v. J.D. Carson.

Shaking off echoes of the family tragedy that drove her to be a prosecutor, she did her damnedest, but still is rattled when the jury finds Carson not guilty. But now another young woman has been killed in chillingly similar circumstances.

Either Maggie prosecuted the right man and got the wrong verdict or she prosecuted the wrong man and got the right verdict. Either way, a murderer went free to strike again.

And there is J.D. Carson -- not only still in town, but far too close to the investigation for Maggie's comfort. This time Maggie's going to get it right ... no matter what it costs her.

Proof of Innocence, by USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn, will entertain fans of stories that swirl suspense and romance with an ongoing murder investigation in which the man the prosecutor is drawn to might be the one she's trying to catch.

NOTE FROM PATRICIA McLINN TO CAUGHT DEAD IN WYOMING READERS: Proof of Innocence and The Innocence Trilogy sequels do not have nearly as much humor as the Caught Dead mysteries, though there is some. They're a bit grittier and darker ... though not in the deep end of grit and dark.

Ho Ho Uh-Oh Can They Make the Best of an Accidental Noel?

This wasn't the Christmas either Kiernan McCrea or Bexley Farber expected. Snowbound in a shoddy convenience store with the least hospitable storekeeper in Wyoming, two other stranded travelers, four kids forgotten by Santa - oh, yes, and each other.

Because there was that thing that happened last summer. A mistake. They both thought that... though for different reasons. And agreeing it was a mistake didn't make it any more comfortable to run into each other at the Slash-C Ranch. Especially when mutual friends suggest, nudge, and push them into driving East together to join their respective families for Christmas. Except they never made it out of Wyoming, thanks to an early-arriving blizzard.

And now their choice is to have one of the least festive Christmases on record or work with what they have and each other to make this a real Christmas for those kids ... and maybe discover what Santa has in mind for them.

Making Christmas, the newest installment in USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's Wyoming Wildflowers series, is a fun, feel-good, moving contemporary romance. Wyoming Wildflowers readers came to know Kiernan, younger brother of A New World's Cahill, in A Cowboy Wedding.

"What an endearing bunch " -- 5-star review

Seasons in a Small Town: Winter

The past might be cold, but it's familiar for Anne. And the future? That might be as gray as a mid-winter Illinois sky. She's desperately trying to hold on to the family farm owned by her late husband's great uncle. With Uncle Everett disabled and her new to farming, loans are impossible to get.

Between the farm and the bookkeeping she does for businesses in town, she's working to exhaustion. And she's not good at asking for help. Never has been.

Then here comes Quince.

As an executive of the high tech company bringing operations to Drago, Illinois - and driving up land prices and taxes - he represents part of the problem. But that doesn't mean Anne can afford to turn down his rent money when Uncle Everett lines him up as a boarder. And - just what she needs -- the two of them hit it off like an old-fashioned comedy team.

Quince is a warm front moving fast through her home and her life, promising spring even when all around is frozen. His quick humor and easy-going ways reach deep into the coldest part of Anne's troubled heart.

But she realizes that behind that front, Quince, too, has icy demons.

Can Anne save not only this farm she loves, but also herself ... and Quince?

* * * * * * * *

Warm Front, Book 4 of USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's Seasons in a Small Town series, is a moving, passionate contemporary romance that will captivate fans of Bella Andre, Roxanne St. Clair and Jill Shalvis.

"Funny, fresh and a good love story." -- 5-star review

Seasons in a Small Town -- Autumn

He sees what she's long hidden ... especially from herself.

Meet Josh Kincannon, high school principal, single father of three, and thus, as he reminds himself ruefully, essentially celibate back into misty memory and forward into the foreseeable future.

After three months of trying to work with Vanessa Irish via phone and e-mails on a project to help tiny Drago, Illinois, Josh believes he has an accurate picture of Zeke-Tech's CFO:

Conscientious? Oh, yeah.
Intelligent? Absolutely.
Agreeable? Not so much.

Then he catches sight of her wild, vibrant robe and begins to wonder what other elements might form a portrait of Vanessa Irish. Every time she goes into her I'm-so-boring-I-disappear-against-white-walls act, he remembers that vibrant, wild fabric hanging on the corner of a door and he gets curious.

And the more curious he becomes, the more he discovers about her that has him feeling things a whole lot hotter than curiosity. Things that shake up life as single parent to his three kids, scrape against his career as high school principal and -- oh, yes -- definitely threaten his stretch of celibacy.

Numbers, that's where Vanessa is comfortable. Not all this interaction with people that she's been pitched into. Especially interacting with Josh Kincannon. Why does he insist on drawing her into his small town, his life, his children? And the biggest question -- what kind of man is this, who not only looks at her, but SEES her, when that's the last thing she wants?

. . . or is it?

Falling for Her, Book 3 of USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's Seasons in a Small Town series, is a moving, passionate contemporary romance that will captivate fans of Bella Andre, Roxanne St. Clair and Jill Shalvis.

"Vanessa is a wounded soul, and Josh draws her out with (mostly) patience and humor. What I especially like is that Vanessa also helps Josh. I'll say it again: A lovely romance." - 5-star review
