Niall MacLaren is determined to
turn his ranch into the biggest cattle dynasty in the Arizona
Territory. The widower will do whatever is he must to obtain the
political and financial support required; even marrying a woman he
does not love. Nothing will stand in his way.
Katherine is well-bred, educated
and seeking life away from her cloistered existence in the East.
Landing the teaching job in California provides her with the
opportunity she seeks. Most importantly, and unlike most of her
peers, she will not need a husband to achieve her goals.
When an accident brings them
together, mutual desire takes root, threatening to dismantle their
carefully laid plans and destroy their dreams. Can either of them
afford to be distracted by the passion that unites them---especially
when one of them may belong to another?

Author Bio
I have been writing most of my
life, but only recently began the transition into fiction. Historical
romance, contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and short stories
are what keep me reading, so that is the focus of my writing.
I was born in California, grew up
between a growing beach town and a small town at the base of the San
Bernardino mountains. My mother originally planned to name me
Katherine, but she read an article in the paper about a woman named
Shirleen shortly before my birth, so instead of having a cool
nickname, like Kate, I am simply Shirleen. My mainstays growing up
were all the Nancy Drew mystery books; I loved them. Eventually I
moved on to mysteries, suspense stories, crime novels, and romance.
Pride and Prejudice will always be one of my favorites.
Besides California, life changes
have allowed me to live in Oregon, Colorado, and Arizona. Everywhere
I have lived has been inspirational in one way or another, giving me
the opportunity to meet remarkable people with their own stories to
tell. I've sailed, skied, owned horses plus lots of other animals,
and ridden various off-road vehicles. I enjoy dancing, fishing,
hunting, being the back-seater on my husband's Harley, traveling and,
of course, reading and writing.
Prior to transitioning to writing
fiction, I worked for Fortune 500 and many smaller, start-up
companies. Fortunately, I regained my sanity long enough to start my
own consulting firm, which I still maintain today.
My husband and I spend most of our
time at our main home in the mountains of Arizona and our second home
in Southern California. Between us we have five boys with growing
careers and families of their own.
So, from my perspective, my life is
a success and always an adventure. I wouldn't change a thing; well,
except finding more time to write.
