Eleanor’s Dilemma Now on Pre-Order
Eleanor’s Dilemma by Cheryl Wright
Book 19 in The Belles of Wyoming multi-author series, Eleanor’s Dilemma will be released on September 12.
When Eleanor Carter witnesses her husband’s murder, and can identify the culprits, she’s taken into protective custody.
Living in sin with her protector for an unknown period of time doesn’t sit right with her, so she takes the only option available to her – she marries him. She insists it’s a marriage of convenience only, and they agree to annul the marriage when it’s all over.
Glen Sanders has been protector for a number of women, but none quite like this one. Everything must be done by the book, and when he embraces her to keep up the pretense of their marriage, she flinches. At least at first.
His suggestion they marry to pull off the pretense is not only for her protection. He is certainly not adverse to having this high society lady as his wife for the rest of their days.
Author’s Promise: This is a heartwarming historical romance novella with a happily ever after ending and no cliffhangers. It is a clean and wholesome story with nothing more than hugs, kisses, and holding hands.

A Marshal for Christmas by P. Creeden
A lonely and abused woman without a home. A Marshal who is given the sudden responsibility of two children. A mail-order bride situation that has fallen to ruin. Can Lottie find a home and a family by Christmas?
December 1880
When Lottie Reiner lost her father in the war, her mother fell to pieces. At the young age of eleven, Lottie began caring for her catatonic mother. But when both her mother and grandfather pass away months apart, Lottie becomes nothing but a burden to her family. Her grandmother pushes Lottie to get married before it’s too late. But Lottie is a twenty-seven-year-old spinster with no experience raising children. Isn’t it already too late?
Deputy US Marshal Archer King comes from a family of law keepers. His father was a US Marshal, and his mother worked as a Pinkerton Agent with Kate Warne. When his only sister passed on in childbirth, his brother-in-law swore he could care for the children on his own. And Archer was to check in on them, but in almost two years, he’s neglected that duty to his sister. When the father, Sam Hodge, goes missing, he finds out exactly what kind of dire situation the children have been subject to.
After being turned out of her home, Lottie heads to Durant, Oklahoma, where Sam Hodge and his two children live, in the hopes of becoming a new wife and mother. Only the mail-order situation does not turn out the way Lottie had hoped, and many of the things that Sam had told her in his letters turn out to be lies. The only thing true is the children, and Lottie is fast becoming attached to them. But what will happen when Sam is found? Will she have the opportunity to get a home and a family before Christmas?

Christmas in July in Australia
Christmas in July is also called Yulefest or Yuletide here in Australia.
It is celebrated in this month because July is normally the coldest month on the calendar for us. It is nice for us to be able to celebrate this special occasion in similar conditions to what our friends in the Northern Hemisphere do on December 25th when it is winter.
Hearty foods, roast dinner, warm drinks and toasty open fires (boosted by central heating in some cases). In the last few years it has become quite popular with more and more people celebrating it now.
Check out the Spinster Mail-Order Brides Christmas in July Series NOW!

Contemporary Romance
Bourke, a small country town in outback Australia, home to the mighty Darling River.
Where skies are bluer than blue, flies and Mozzies abound and wide open spaces and fresh country air regenerate the spirit.
It was this small town her heart led her back to after fifteen long years away. The place where Ruby’s heart had always belonged.
Securing a position with the Flying Doctor Service and working for a local doctor was like a dream come true – she was ready to give back to the people who had done so much to help her.
Her own home, jobs she loved, a family and friends she adored. Life was good, until…..
Phil was a man who had grown up with Ruby and he’d had his eye on her for years.
He’d intended to marry her as soon as he had qualified as a cop and she had qualified as a nurse.
So, what caused everything to go so horribly wrong?
Will a disaster bring them together?
Or will they forever be separated by mistakes from the past?

EXCERPT:
Bourke NSW
Fifteen Years Earlier
I stood behind the fence around the oval peeking at the group of senior boys who were warming up before hitting the track for a race.
A soft groan spilled from my lips at the sight of Phil Thacker in a pair of running shorts which moulded over his arse. The man was to die for and I snatched every opportunity to drool over him.
We both attended Bourke High School, he was year twelve at – eighteen years old. I was year ten and sixteen. My aunt and uncle hadn’t known my exact birthdate.
I’d been dumped on their doorstep in a washing basket, a threadbare blanket wrapped around my naked body. A note accompanying me from my mother had stated I was a mistake and she had better things to do with her life than raise a brat.
Aunt Mavis and Uncle Tommy, who I called mum and dad, had taken me in and raised me as one of their own. There were nine of us and I fitted in the middle – I had three older sisters and one brother, along with four younger brothers.
Mum estimated I’d been around three months old when I’d been ‘delivered’ to them. For months, they’d attempted to find my birth mother, even enlisted the help of the police, but it was if she’d vanished into thin air.
After a while, they gave up looking for her and decided my birthday would be March 25th, three months prior to the day I’d been abandoned.
At fourteen years old, mum had helped me to legally adopt their last name of Waters.
I’d always referred to myself as Ruby Madeleine Waters and hadn’t really cared about making it legal until one of my teachers at school had advised I would need a legal name if I intended to attend university, which I did. So, we filled in a whole bunch of papers and I finished up with an official name and date of birth. It kept the government happy, I guess.
