The Gunsmith’s Bride originally appeared in the bundle: GUNSMOKE & GINGHAM, containing five brand-new novellas by FIVE USA Today Bestselling, Amazon Bestselling, and Award-winning Authors. While this bundle is no longer for sale, individual titles can be found where each author’s books are sold.

As you may have guessed by my recent release’s title, Pleasance’s First Love, the story is a Second Chances trope. Come on in and sit a spell while I share a bit about this trope, what it is, and why it’s a favorite among romance readers. First love, second chances. Some romances aren’t meant to be….others will always deserve another chance.

What about Gus?
U.S. Marshal August “Gus” Rose first appeared in Maybe This Christmas, book #2 of the Holidays in Mountain Home Series. The back of the book (description) gives it away…Luke eventually gets the girl (Effie) (I’ll let you discover for yourself how that comes about).

I’m delighted to announce that Gus’s HEA (happily-ever-after) is here in The Marshal’s Surrender.
This blog article shares with you the entire opening scene.

I share my reasons for selecting Sweet Western Historical Romance (now more aptly categorized as Sweet American Historical Romance).
