Everything good…
Starts with unexpected kindness
When city girl Elsie Parks comes to Three Springs to care for her nieces while her brother recuperates, she’s in for a surprise—he expects her to run the ranch! Thankfully, Ryan Sloan—the rugged cowboy next door—is happy to help. As they get into a groove working the farm together, their attraction grows like Texas wildflowers. But can this temporary detour become something more?
USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
From Harlequin Heartwarming: Wholesome stories of love, compassion and belonging.
Would you tell us about your main characters, Elsie and Ryan, from THE RANCHER'S SECRET CRUSH?
Elsie Parks is a by-the-book city girl and Ryan Sloan is a free-spirited rodeo cowboy. They are complete opposites. And I could not have enjoyed writing their love story more. They challenged each other in so many unexpected ways.
What was the most important thing Elsie learned from Ryan as he helped her learn about ranching?
Elsie learned that she is capable of so much more than she believed. Ryan helped Elsie find a deeper confidence in herself – one that ultimately gives her the courage to reach for what she really wants.
What part or aspect of this story do you love the most, and do you have a favorite quote you could share with readers?
This quote came to mind right away. When I was writing this particular scene, I had planned to stop for the evening when I finished the chapter. However, when I wrote this last line, I had to keep writing that night. I needed to know just how Elsie was going to respond to Ryan’s honesty.
At the back door, Ryan turned around and watched her for a beat. Then one more. Finally, he said, “What I really want is to kiss you, Elsie Marie. But sometimes we just don’t get what we want.”
What’s one of your hobbies or something we might not know about you?
I love to cook and bake. If you subscribe to my newsletter, I’m usually talking about baking, and I often share my latest favorite baking recipe. Something readers might not know is that when I have scenes in my books with the characters eating, I use meals and dishes that I have cooked (or plan to cook) for my own family. I’ve gotten way off track more than once researching specific cocktail recipes or specific dishes when I’m supposed to be writing. And if it’s a new to me recipe, then I have to print it out, make a shopping list, and get to cooking. LOL! Fortunately, my family doesn’t complain.
What three books are currently on your tbr?<
Claimed (Lair of the Wolven, Book 1) by JR Ward
The Bride Wore White by Amanda Quick
Just One More Moment (The Sterling Family, Book 1) by Carly Phillips
What are you working on next?
I’m working on a new story for the Christmas Town anthology that I am fortunate to write with other Harlequin Heartwarming authors. Christmas Town is such a fun place, and I can’t wait to jump back in with the characters there whenever I get the chance.
