Finally! It's New Release Time! The Cowboys are Coming!
Jan 16, 2025 1:01 pm
Yee Haw! We have finally made our way out of the mountain town of Moonshine Ridge and down to the ranches of Slow River Valley.
The Slow River series kicks off with the O'Leary family and will give you a chance to find a couple of cross-over Easter eggs to where they've been mentioned in previous Moonshine Ridge Mountain Men books.
I won't give those away, I'll wait to hear if you notice them as they come along.
The Cowboy's Close Quarters Claim features Gunner O'Leary, second oldest of four boys and acting manager of the Delta O ranch, since his oldest brother left town a decade ago and their father's health was in decline.
Gunner is gruff and grumpy and not thrilled to discover that his absentee brother has hired a new herdsman without his involvement. He's even less thrilled when the new herdsman turns out to be a sassy young woman with killer curves and a take no prisoners attitude.
But not for the reasons Clem suspects.
It's another short, over the top, instalove tale in the same style as the boys of Moonshine Ridge.
These two are serving up grumpy/grumpier, enemies to lovers, boss/employee, forced proximity with just one bed vibes.
Gunner and Clem release on January 22, you can get your pre-order now!
Oh...my...darling:
With everyone else on the ranch busy, it's up to me and our new herdsman to head into the hills to round up the strays that have wandered out of bounds before they get rustled by the unsavory neighbors on the other side of the property line.
Except, my brother didn't bother to tell me that "Clem" was short for "Clementine" when he mentioned the new hire.
Now I'm stuck in close quarters with a woman that hates my guts; a curvy goddess with a sassy mouth and an attitude that has my body aching to show her who's in charge out here.
Clementine warns me that she can't be claimed, but I'm going to prove that I'm the man who's up to the challenge.

Welcome to Slow River Valley and the historic ranches that made men rich when their search for gold in the nearby mountains didn't.
You'll find the men here are as rugged as the land their cattle graze in, with loyalties-- and rivalries-- that run as deep as the river that defines this valley.
Protective, possessive, totally obsessed, the men of Slow River Valley know what they want when they see it and won't be swayed from claiming what's theirs. A woman who wins the heart of one of these cowboys can count on getting her ride into the sunset with a happily ever after that stands the test of time.
Set in the same world as Moonshine Ridge; The Slow River Valley Ranches books contain a lot of insta-love, some swearing, some steamy scenes, zero cheating, and a lot of swoon-worthy happy endings. They're interconnected with recurring characters but can be read as stand-alones in any order.
I don't even have energy to type up the latest "adventure" from the personal life. I'm exhausted...but the house didn't blow up and I didn't suffocate in my sleep, so there's that at least.
Yup, just another day in Roxie-land.
I'm going to eat too much junk food and steal one of those adorable, tiny bottles of Bailey's Irish Cream from the bestie's side of the fridge, watch scary bigfoot stories on YouTube, and lay on the futon in my dead muppet pajamas (if they were blue, it would look like I was wearing Grover...but they are cozy and warm!) while I enjoy the rest of the day off before I get started on the next book.
See ya next week with the new release drop.
