I've been to Romancelandia on a horse with a name

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:

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 most exciting news is that *for March 2023 only*, this book is available for free! And please check out the more than ninety other sweet romances you can download from the Sweet and Swoony group as well!
