SHE'S A WOMAN WITH A SECRET
Elizabeth Wainright is on the run. Accused of a murder she didn't commit, she has no choice but to cut ties with her old life and flee West. The last thing she wants is attention, but when her stagecoach is attacked, she suddenly finds herself under the fierce protection of one of Montana's famed vigilantes ... whether she likes it or not ...
HE'S A MAN WITH A CODE
Lawman Mitch Brady is sworn to uphold justice in the wilds of Montana. He's never met a man he's feared, and he's never met a woman more desperately in need of his help. Something's shaken the secretive Elizabeth, but as he gets to know the beautiful city belle, he finds the only thing he wants more than her safety is her trust. - Elizabeth longs to give herself to Mitch, but when her past finally catches up with her, can she truly trust the vigilante who's stolen her heart ... with her life?"
DESPERATE HEARTS is set in 1880's Montana and is packed with "wild west" action, a good share of humor, and lots of romance! - See more at: http://rosannebittner.blogspot.com/#s...
Rosanne Bittner has written many novels and I have read quite a few of her works. In fact, I wonder that she can come up with new story lines. However in “Desperate Hearts” she has done just that. Although it’s a classic tale of a runaway heroine trying to escape the clutches of a depraved relative, there is enough action and adventure in this novel to keep you interested to the last page.Available Now!
Elizabeth Wainwright runs from New York to a little hole-in-the-wall gold town of Alder, Montana. Most of the people in Alder are running from something or someone. The town sheriff, Mitch Brady, is also a vigilante in Montana and the only law for miles around. Elizabeth is coming into town on a stagecoach when outlaws attack and she is the only one left alive. Mitch arrives just in time to save her virtue and her life.
The story continues as the townspeople surround Mitch and Elizabeth with caring concern in the wake of many attempts on both Mitch’s and Elizabeth’s lives. Along the way, the two come to trust each other enough to be able to share whatever is lurking in their pasts and preventing them from going on with life.
I truly enjoyed reading this book and found it to be a good old western novel.

Friday Teaser from Desperate Hearts!
Elizabeth sat up and just stared at Mitch wide-eyed, her face red from being half choked, tears leaving clean lines where they trickled through the dust on her face. Her ears rang from all the gunfire. Mitch scooped her into his arms as he rose and carried her down the middle of the street toward Ma Kelly’s. People stared and mumbled to each other about the new woman in town and how Mitch Brady had risked his life to save her … yet again.
Elizabeth laid her head on Mitch’s shoulder and sobbed. Mitch held her closer.

Getting “In The Mood”
Okay, I know that title sounds like it has something to do with sex, and in a way I guess it does because I’m talking about how certain songs get us in the right mood for whatever book/scene/character we are working on when working on a book. Sometimes the right music conjures up brand new story ideas.
I have recently been listening to a 2-CD album called WAY OUT WEST, and it’s soundtrack music from all the truly great westerns I, and probably most of you, have watched over the years. I’ve watched so many westerns numerous times that I can usually identify which movie a song came from as soon as I hear it. My favorite western theme song would probably be from THE BIG COUNTRY. However, running a close second would be HANG ‘EM HIGH – THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (which is the ring-tone on my cell phone) – and HOW THE WEST WAS WON.
This collection of western soundtracks is perfect for me (obviously) because of what I write. I see every single book I write as a movie, and certain of these songs seem to be just right for certain of my titles. For DO NOT FORSAKE ME, the sequel to OUTLAW HEARTS coming next summer, I chose ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, which begins with the lonely sound of a harmonica. I can “see” Jake riding into town – well armed but looking tired – leading four men, one of them draped dead over his horse, the other three looking like they WISH they were dead! I have asked my social networking guru to use that song when developing a book trailer for those books.
Music is such a “mood maker.” Most people have romantic thoughts when hearing romantic music – want to jump up and dance when they hear hard rock (or in my case, remember their “hippie” days of the 60’s) – feel closer to God when listening to religious music – dance around when hearing hip-hop – etc. Our favorite music can be very valuable to our writing. I have often written whole scenes while listening to certain music because the song or songs helped me visualize a scene or better get the “feel” of a scene.
Listening to great western-themed music is a big help in describing a gunfighter or lawman, or even writing about the courage of pioneer women. Most of all it’s wonderful inspiration for bringing forth the “Great West” that I have traveled and recorded. Music like THE BIG COUNTRY makes it so easy to remember how big, big, big and magnificent the western landscape is – the grandeur of the Rockies, the Big Horn Mountains or the Sierras. And in between are vast, vast prairies, deserts and plains where a man can see for miles and miles with not one obstruction. It’s all beautiful and grand and something mankind could never create on his own. But it’s harsh country and at one time was untamed and full of danger from both man and animal, as well as the elements – all food for great story plots!
When I listen to my favorite music, especially that with a western theme, I usually end up crying, feeling sometimes frustrated that few others see the West as I do – majestic, moving, full of fabulous history, a symbol of the pioneer spirit and of courage and the love of freedom. When I look through the book I have on gun laws, the farther west you go, the more lenient are the laws about open carry and even concealed weapons. I would not suggest trying to outlaw private ownership and carrying of guns in states like Texas and Montana, or Wyoming and Nevada. I think they would secede from the Union before they would give up those rights! I LOVE that about the West – still so independent and patriotic and in many places, still like the “Old West” – so many places where old gold towns have been preserved and are now tourist sites where you can watch reenactments of gun fights or go down into a real gold mine and see it for yourself.
For anyone writing, I suggest using “Mood Music” to set your mind into whatever your story is about. If you want a listing of my favorite mood music, just listen to my Playlist below!
And if you are a true writer, you will never look at your writing as work. Writing is fun – and if you’re serious about it, the writing should come first, even if you work full time. I could go into a several-page blog about the things I’ve gone through and still kept writing – but that’s another blog. Suffice it to say for now that listening to your favorite music while writing can be a tremendous help!

Feature Friday Block Party Blog Hop - Week 2
Welcome and thanks for stopping by! This is the Feature Friday Block Party Blog Hop hosted by Buy the Book Tours and author MJ Schiller! Please #FF me on Twitter - My Handle is @RosanneBittner. Today I'm sharing some delicious Caramel Shortbread Squares and a teaser from my upcoming release DESPERATE HEARTS.
Caramel Shortbread Squares
2/3 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C).
2. In a medium bowl, mix together 2/3 cup butter, white sugar, and flour until evenly crumbly. Press into a 9 inch square baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
3. In a 2 quart saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk. Bring to a boil. Continue to boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes. Pour over baked crust (warm or cool). Cool until it begins to firm.
4. Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, then stir and continue to heat and stir at 20 second intervals until chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour chocolate over the caramel layer and spread evenly to cover completely. Chill. Cut into 1 inch squares. These need to be small because they are so rich.

Strong arms began whirling Elizabeth around a straw-and-peanut-shell-covered dirt floor to a fast-strutting tune coming from a piano and a fiddle.
"Don’t worry, honey," assured the short, bearded man who’d grabbed her. "We all think you’re a real beautiful, respectable lady. We just want a dance, that’s all."
"I really don’t want to dance," Elizabeth protested, half yelling above the whooping men and loud piano playing.
"Just one little dance, lady?" her partner begged.
"Really, I –"
Suddenly a big fist rammed into her partner’s jaw, sending the man flying across two tables. He landed against a bar stool and everyone backed away from Elizabeth. She turned to see Mitch Brady standing there with a dark look of rage in his eyes. "The lady said she didn’t want to dance!" He scanned the room. "Everybody here understand that?"

Ma Kelly chuckled. “Come on. I’ll show you to your room, and Mitch can find somebody to bring over the rest of your things.” She turned to Mitch. “And you, young man, as soon as you arrange for this young lady’s belongings, you come back here and go to your room and get some sleep.”
Go to your room? “You live here?” Elizabeth asked Mitch.
Mitch grinned, “Does it bother you that I live here, too?”
Elizabeth felt herself blushing. “I’m just surprised, that’s all.” … She was not sure she liked the idea of Mitch Brady sleeping in the same house. Was that why he’d brought her here?

The remaining two men stood frozen.
“You’d best drop your weapons,” Mitch told them.
Dear God, who are you? Elizabeth wondered.
Mitch glanced at her, and against a very tanned face his eyes looked as blue as the Montana sky behind him. That one look felt almost physical in its force, and it left Elizabeth breathless.
“Welcome to Montana, ma’am,” he told her in a deep voice. “You’ll be fine now.”
Elizabeth couldn’t find her voice.
