Today and tomorrow I am over at Sweet and Swoony Romance on Facebook, and we're talking about horses, books, and THE COWBOY AND THE MOVIE STAR, the first book in my new sweet western romance series.
You've already met Tyler Lawson in A MILLION LOVE NOTES. Now it's time to meet the family.
Marki Queen is Hollywood royalty in desperate need of a knight in shining armour. Preferably one with a real horse who gives riding lessons. Thanks to her childhood television role, the whole world thinks she’s an expert horsewoman. Nobody knows it was all an act. Now she has two weeks to learn to ride for real, and a small-town cowboy is her only hope.
Clay Lawson is not pleased that he got roped into giving riding lessons on top of all his other duties as the Royal Oak Ranch’s general manager. He was told that all Marki Queen needed was a refresher course, but when he discovers she’s been a fake cowgirl for her whole life, everything changes.
The more time they spend together, the harder they fall. But is two weeks long enough to start a romance that can bridge the country-Hollywood divide?

The horse's name was Checkers and he was the inspiration for the first book in my new western romance series - ROYAL OAK RANCH SWEET WESTERN ROMANCES.
That's right, I learned how to ride and then shared the experience with the heroine in the first book of the series, THE COWBOY AND THE MOVIE STAR:
