It’s been a long time coming but the time is near! If you received my eNewsletter yesterday, you will have seen that there has FINALLY been a release date associated with this book. I’ve purposely held off announcing the release date. I know, that’s mean, right? Well, not really. Back last year before THE RANCHER was to be released, I ran into a few personal problems (not worth mentioning ‘what’ they were) but…I missed the release date. The book wasn’t finished when I ‘thought’ it would be and it pushed my schedule way behind. Add that stress on top of what was already wrong and the later part of 2012 was one big cosmic wedgie! The emails pouring in didn’t help, either. Well, they did in a way. It let me know readers were chomping at the bit to get their hands on the book but with every email, I felt just a little bit more desperate. I was letting my readers down and that guilt only made the stress more severe. Fast forward a few months to my actively working on HIS BROTHER’S WIFE. I ‘had’ a date set on my website for this book but I promptly removed it. I didn’t want a repeat of the release date mistake because I honestly didn’t know what would happen. Good thing I did too. I again missed my projected date. I decided the best thing to do was wait until I at least had a first draft completed before even thinking of release. I now have that completed, plus rewrites, so only editing remains and I can safely say the book will be more or less ready in the very near future so without further ado…..May 27th, 2013 is the magic date some of you have been waiting on!  The book is the first full-length novel in the Willow … Keep Reading! →

Book 1 in my historical western romance, The Lawman, is now FREE at participating retailers! See what reviewers are saying and read a excerpt below. The Lawman – The Willow Creek Series, Book #1by Lily Graison On the run from her ex-lover… Jilted by a no-show husband… And now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back Saloon… Abigail Thornton doesn’t think things can get any worse. That is until a single slap to a man’s face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be. Town Marshal Morgan Avery wants nothing more than to wash away the trail-dust and sleep for a week, preferably with a soft, willing woman by his side. Instead, he gets Abigail Thornton – all one hundred pounds of her thrust at him seconds before a fist connects with his face. Breaking up the fight takes more effort than he wants to admit and when the last man falls he finds Abigail still standing and not looking the least bit contrite. Throwing her into the town jail for the night would salve his wounded pride and then he will let her go. Or that was the plan. When morning comes he finds himself oddly reluctant to do so. Miss Thornton is hiding something and he aims to find out what, even if he has to bed her to do so. But will one night in her bed be enough?

Welcome! This week’s six again comes from my soon to be released, His Brother’s Wife. Grace woke surrounded by heat. She flexed her fingers, feeling warm skin beneath them, and blinked her eyes open. She wasn’t alone.  Rafe laid beside her, his eyes closed. The fact he was sleeping didn’t surprise her as much as the knowledge that they were in bed together. And if she hadn’t lost every ounce of her wits, she was almost positive they were both very much naked.

Welcome! This week’s six again comes from my soon to be released, His Brother’s Wife. Just the thought of her heated his blood. The scent of her skin stirred him and made he feel like a man possessed. He wanted her with an urgency that scared him shitless. It willed him to do anything he had to do to have her. And fight just as hard to see that it never happened. If he’d learned anything about his failed attempts at relationships in the past, it was that he wasn’t capable of being loved.  His Brother’s Wifeby Lily Graison A Willow Creek Novel  When Grace Kingston accepts a wedding proposal through a mail-order bride agency and travels across country to be married, she has no idea her bridegroom is a fourteen-year-old boy.
