New Release: Christmas Baby for the Cowboy:
A Heartwarming Rodeo Romance Just in Time for the Holidays!

Hey, romance lovers! As the holidays approach, what could be better than curling up with a story about love, family, and the magic of second chances? My new release, Christmas Baby for the Cowboy brings the spirit of Christmas, the grit of rodeo life, and a dash of baby magic into one sweet, heartfelt story.
Meet Loretta and Taylor
Loretta Keller had her life all mapped out—until her fling with Taylor Keating, a charming bullfighter, threw her plans into a whirlwind. Now, she’s a new mom trying to balance her dreams of love and stability with Taylor’s life on the rodeo circuit. Just when it seems they’re finding their groove, Taylor’s restless spirit sends him back into the ring with his eye on one last gig, challenging everything they’ve built together.
So…What’s a Bullfighter vs. a Rodeo Clown, Anyway?
You might wonder what Taylor’s job as a rodeo bullfighter entails, and how it differs from the role his father played as a rodeo clown. (Hint: they’re both wildly brave and essential for a rodeo, but each has its own set of challenges!)
• Rodeo Bullfighter: Taylor’s job as a bullfighter means he’s one of the real heroes in the arena. He’s the one who distracts a bucking bull after it’s thrown a rider to keep everyone safe. It’s physically intense and demands bravery and quick reflexes because Taylor’s job is all about getting in the bull’s way so the rider can escape unscathed. He’s the bull’s temporary target – talk about a dangerous day at work!
• Rodeo Clown: On the other hand, Taylor’s dad, Barney Keating is a legendary rodeo clown. Rodeo clowns blend entertainment with heroism. They engage with the crowd, performing comedic stunts and sometimes they wear the classic face paint and baggy clothes. But they’re also trained to jump in and protect fallen riders, making them both entertainers and essential team members for safety.

Christmas Baby for the Cowboy

He has big rodeo dreams. She dreams of one true love.

Loretta Keller had a five-year-plan to get her life back on track after a series of romantic disasters. Getting pregnant during a fling with a charming bullfighter was not on her agenda, but she struggles to make their new dynamic work until their son falls ill. Making a difficult decision, Loretta leaves the rodeo tour to settle in Last Stand, Texas, to build a life of love and stability for her child.

Raised in the shadow of his famous rodeo clown father, Taylor Keating is driven to prove himself but torn by the challenges of providing for his new family. He’s surprised that even with the chaos of sleepless nights and diaper changes, he and Loretta find happiness and a love they never imagined.

As Christmas approaches, Taylor and Loretta navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood. But when Taylor’s desire for validation leads him to take a dangerous bull riding gig, will it unravel everything they’ve begun to build?
