Discovering the unexpected...
In the Cowboy’s Claim, Tristan and Chloe find it hard to agree on anything, including their feelings for each other. But a truce and a kiss open a door to the unexpected. I can relate to their experience of moving forward and encountering the unexpected. Deciding to write a small-town romance trilogy wasn’t something I had anticipated. But as I started plotting the Tillbridge Stables series, I became excited about the characters and their stories, and of course, the horses. Taking chances and making changes can lead to something positive. The Cowboy’s Claim was one of my favorite books to write.
