newest release with my readers. Rhonda, please tell us all about it. (psst! She is also with

A little bit about the series…
Escape from Ruby’s Ranch is Book 2 of my Ruby’s Ranch Series. The Ruby's Ranch Series tells the story of four strong matriarchs over
almost four generations.
The original RAVEN Finalist and RONE award 2nd
runner up story, Return to Ruby's Ranch, was Ruby Lattrell's story, the 3rd
generation heroine who inherited the ranch after her grandmother passed away.
Her cathartic journey was one of discovery as she returned to uncover the truth
about the mysterious disappearance of her mother, Katherine and why Granny Rube
had gone crazy in the end.
Book 2 of the Ruby's Ranch series, Escape
from Ruby's Ranch, takes the reader back one generation to Katherine's
treacherous journey. Throughout her young life Katherine dreamed of escaping
her over-protective mother and boring ranch life to become a famous painter
living in the big city. That all changes when the stoic, horse whispering
cowboy, John Lattrell, wins her heart. They build a beautiful life together
until secrets and twisted relationships steal her away from her precious
family. Katherine's fight to get back to John will stir anger and hope in your
heart.
Book Blurb
Katherine Adams dreams of getting far away from her
over-protective mother and the quiet, subdued life on Ruby’s Ranch. She’s drawn
to the excitement of the city, the idea of her paintings hanging in glamourous
art galleries, wearing the finest fashions and eating in quaint sidewalk cafes.
Every detail of her escape is lined out until a handsome horse whisperer
gallops into her world.
John Lattrell is a master at taming wild animals but he’s
never seen a creature as stubborn and free-spirited as the beautiful, young
Katherine. From the first moment, she drew him into her inquisitive soul,
leaving it bare for all the pain that was destined to come. Will ghosts from
his past ruin his chances at capturing her heart?
Katherine is torn between her dreams and her
desires. John is tormented by the thought of losing her. What will become of
their love when family secrets and betrayal come between them?

Excerpt:
Everyone, including
Katherine, watched the tall, handsome stranger walk toward the stage to join
the band. He moved with a manly grace, telling her he’d be talented at anything
he tried. Riding, dancing, lovemaking. Anything.
“Oh, my,” she whispered
again. She pushed her shoulders back when he headed toward her on his way to
the stage. She regretted re-buttoning that top button.
She was stunned when
their eyes met, like she’d been paralyzed by Blue Coral snake venom. He smiled
again, obviously appreciating her reaction.
“I hope you’re not
leaving. You haven’t even heard me play yet.” His voice was deep and rhythmic.
A sensual song without music.
Katherine didn’t have
words. She couldn’t make her mouth move. She stared at him, smiling stupidly,
wondering how his full lips would taste against hers.
“You all right, Miss?”
He pushed the hat back on his head and leaned in for a closer look.
A low moan escaped when
she caught the scent of his earthy cologne. His concerned gaze held her until
the announcer again requested his presence on the stage.
“Miss?” He smiled again.
“Are you gonna be okay?” He steadied her with a strong hand against the small
of her back. She quivered from the heat of his touch.
When their eyes locked,
a breath caught in Katherine’s throat. The smile on his ruggedly handsome face,
turned now to an expression of curious longing. The seconds that passed between
them felt like hours. Just as he started to speak, Casey pressed his energy
between them and broke the spell.
